Jim, in no way do I wish for this to upset you.
PLEASE do not be angry with me.
I have been a Full Fledge Fan of yours since the mid 80's.

You may personally know this Convertible, and it may in fact be a matching numbers Ram2 Bird. I'm just running numbers for interest, not implying any type Official origin or otherwise status of this Car. For what its worth, by the numbers.
Sort of reminiscent of The Boss's Voodoo Green GTO Ram1 Auto Hdtp.

It "appears" this Convertible was a Ram1 machine (by the numbers/math). For what its worth.

Possibly the third Fbird to conform with $15.00 increase in Ram1 at later points in year.

Autumn Bronze II looks pretty cut and dry. I'll run it later just for pleasure.
