It drew some bad cards at the table - Wisconsin & Florida habitats.

Not an actual Ram Air car - flaw in terms between HO and RA on early Invoices.
That deal has already been documented on here in the past.

Ram Air wasn't even available on Birds at the time this car was invoiced. iirc
And the price doesn't reflect for Ram Air value.

also , Ram Air was a separate option available with Engine Option 348 (HO) when it did actually become available .
Option T42/611 @ $84.26 = Hood R/A Inlet

If it were a genuine R/A III Auto Vert - 1 of 4 might be right. idunno really

The AC compressor threw me at first glance - not showing on Invoice.
But its aftermarket under-dash

This is the 400 H.O., as pointed out above, not a Ram Air car. Some funky things on this one. Those are the standard seats, not the Custom Trim seats shown on the invoice, and those headrests appear to be from a different GM car. Odd choice of options. Has just the AM Radio, but with an 8-track, no optional speakers. Maybe they were going to have a better stereo installed later.

It was oddly optioned , sort of.
Looks like maybe they had a strict $4000.00 budget .

4 wheel non-power drums
No Pwr Str with an Automatic

But good Engine, Interior, Wheels .... and Soft Top

This engine would have the LongBranch factory exhaust manifolds.
And either #62 or #48 heads

Greg i agree it probably went to Florida early'ish having the late 60-early 70 vintage add-on underdash AC.

All of the soft trim is gone - decent standard front seats probably just stuck in there.
Car probably sat out for a long time in previous days.

IF it were an actual R/A car - it might be worth close to asking price.
Doubt the seller is trying to dupe anyone on purpose - think he duped himself.
