Default Possible 68 Ram Air II Convertible sold?

Does any one know anything about this car?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-Pontiac...p2047675.l2557

The car had already been sold when I noticed it on ebay. It had the 4-core radiator and the RA or HO exhaust manifolds in the last picture. So out of curiosity I sent a message to the seller asking him what the block and head codes were? Ha said "block xw head 96" If that is true, another RA II car just surfaced!

Did you happen to ask what axle ratio it had?
If a deuce, it is interesting that the air cleaner appears to be as shipped. I wonder if the carb pan and hood baffle is still in the trunk. If so, that would be a great story...

Well the VIN was listed, I guess the PHS would answer all the questions?

I figured with the exhaust manifolds it was a HO car at the minimum. With the build date it would be a RA II if it were an RA car. looked to be a pretty nice project car, even nicer if it is a RAII.

Not sure if I see round port heads here. Took a capture and manipulated levels of picture, zoomed in to see what I could determine. Note the oil pressure sender, look at center exhaust on head. Does appear to be a big radiator...

Opinions?
