In looking at the window sticker I see Hood Ram Air Inlet 611 $84.26 I always assumed this was part of the RAIV package. However, it looks like it was a mandatory option. Never knew that. Thanks for posting the window sticker and many thanks for the photos of such a great car!

It was part of the RAIV engine package. Years ago came to the conclusion the dealership double dipped

Thanks for the clarification. I first saw "your" Matador Red RAIV car at the TA Nats years ago. It was the first time I had ever seen a '69 RAIV Firebird 400 car in person. It really made an impression on me.

I was gonna say mine was built the same week but doesn’t have the 611 for ram air inlet, That explains it. Funny how dealerships did things differnt, wonder if the salesman even knew or just checked it to make sure it was included because some of the 400 cars ordered didn’t come in as RAIII but HO instead.
