I dont remember where I saw it? But when i bought my 70 RA3 and i was researching it, I found something that said there were only 9 known RA4 cars known to still exist. Take it with a grain of salt. I wish I could remember where I saw the info.

According to PHS, 23 of the 88 cars are known to exist.
Of the 23 cars, 6 MT cars have the original engine. And 3 AT have the original engine.

I know that one of these RAIV cars exists in El Paso TX.
The man has owned it for years, also has a nice collection of cars.

And probably not interested in parting with it, right?

This one belongs to a guy I know here in San Diego. I think it was put up for sale a few months back. I'm not sure if it sold or not.

There was a white 4 speed car that won stock class at the T/A Nationals this year. It was a concours restoration. That car is from North Carolina.

Several years back, I sold a WW out of a 70 T/A. The T/A was sold new in NC at a dealership in Asheboro. NC DMV did not show the title being transferred after about 1975, and the car was never registered again. The car was registered to a woman with a very common last name. I went by the last known address, and the houses had been torn down and replaced with a strip mall. The locals had all moved when the city began growing and commercial replaced residential. I wasn't able to find any information, other than the houses along there were mostly rental.

The car was taken off the road in the mid-70s, supposedly because it was wrecked. I bought the remaining parts from a guy in the late 80s. As best I could tell, the car was destroyed after the parts were salvaged.

Barry Martin at Sonic Motors also had a 70 T/A that I think was sold new in NC. I'm not sure what ever happened to that car.

There is a guy in western NC that has SD455 T/As and did a full restoration on a 70 Ram IV T/A.

That's about all of the Ram IV cars I personally know of.

Mike

My mistake. I didn't realize it was that long ago.

The VIN listed in the autotrader ad is 228870L107569. This VIN is not listed in McCarthy's book as one of the 88 original Ram Air IV cars. It is probably a clone.
