Mcronk you may not see this in time , but if you do , please get a picture of the trim tag or make note of the build date on tag.
This is the invoice , but their placard says they have Buildsheet too -- if you can get a picture of that.
It will tell its first purpose.

Its a multi-invoice car that was ordered within PMD for use within PMD.
There would have been other invoice(s) as well.
The most interesting thing I see on the invoice is its exit code is 35-998 ,
usually these from the motherland used 35-997 as exit code.
35-998 was the designation for Engineering Dept.
This car possibly has several invoice copies for multiple duties within the camp.

It is much rarer than the 1 of 241 they have listed.
241 is the number for all 455 RamAir AUTOMATIC cars hardtop & convertible total.
We know of about maybe a dozen convertibles.

I think also 241 , or similar smallish amount was also number of 455 HO convertibles
But that doesn't apply to how many had RamAir - maybe 10% of that number.

I know of a rough Cardinal Red 70 GTO 455HO 4 speed car with ram air. It has been sitting since the 80’s. As far as value is concerned, would you say it’s worth more or less than a RA3 car?

Same for same , edge goes to the 455 RA car. That is personal opinion.
Market can go either way, but its very comparable.
Unless we get into comparable Ram3 Judge vs 455 RA Judge - which we probably never will again.

The overall line up this morning / afternoon has been pretty Incredible.
This might take a while to get through this current cluster , numbers are looking tall which can take more time.

Sorry I did not see this in time to get a picture of the cowl tag. Thanks for the link and info on that car. Sounds like a very interesting history that would be fun to research. I looked at the car twice over several days. Went over it with my paint gauge etc. Beautifull well restored car and after reading the production numbers and rarity have a different appreciation for it. I did not see a build sheet or additional invoices with the car. They may have been in the car or kept at the Mecum office. A lot of times important paperwork is not left in the car and you can go to the office and ask to inspect paperwork.
