Jim, I Followed baron von zeppelins advice and called PHS and talked with Jim Mattison.(he is helpful) We discussed the my window sticker and he said the ram air II would only reflect the 616.12. I also found a 2008 musclecar review on 68 firebird and they showed the price of the Ram Air II as the same.
Thanks to all for your help. I would really like to know what happened to it.!

Hey Bob, glad Jim Mino and Jim Mattison were able to assist about your old car.

What Mattison was inferring was that - in your particular instance and along with other early Ram2 cars - Only the 616.12 would be reflected on window sticker.
Like Mino also stated.
But the BHC would reflect the correction.
Another first hand account by Mino.


That does not mean ALL Ram2 cars would reflect that same way.
The later cars would have gotten the full charge on window sticker = $ 747.77
And their BHC's reflect the 747.77 charge. (on Birds)

If 2008 MCR mag stated Ram1 and Ram2 were same price - they were very wrong.

Almost 600 posts in this thread and i doubt many newcomers would want to read the whole thing. But from about halfway point forward we made great strides and discoveries. And documented quite a few cars.

The only way to decode option #347 cars between Ram1 and Ram2 is by the math.
There are about 20 examples shown throughout this thread of how that works.
GTO's and Birds.
The prices were different numbers on GTO , than the Bird.
But Ram2 is still higher cost than Ram1 on both specimens.

Just trying to keep the info concise for archival purposes.

It would have been nice if Mattison could have stated if indeed your BHC did reflect hand written notations. I'm sure he pulled it up if you gave him the VIN during the convo. He also reads here from time to time , but has only posted a few times on very rare occasions.

Baron!
1st thanks to you guys on keeping me up to date on all the truths of the firebird. 2nd, on my remarks following window sticker price, I meant to add that the only thing Jim would say that this was a Ram Air II car. by the vin. (sorry brain cramp!)
