What is the most rare option you have seen on a RA IV car?
I know that they often came whit hideaways and tach on hood, but how about power windows, power seat, radio etc?

Hide-aways were discouraged by dealers because of low vacuum, although our car has them. Air conditioning was verbotten. All other options are fair game, although most high-option IV cars I see were dealer ordered.

Please list your options, as your car is one of one that I have seen, as I state in our e/m. Please share this rare beast with the other members and see if anyone else has seen a RA IV '69 optioned out like this. Don't leave out the kilo speedo! Ron

It´s a warning signal so you dont go to fast...
A yellow needle placed in the speedometer, that you can set on fx 60 mph, and if you go faster it beeps.Robert.

That Polar White RA IV Judge that was for sale on this web site a few weeks ago, had the rear tail lamp monitor. Which I've heard is seldom seen.

I think what Poncho meant was how many "K"s is the speedo registered for. It is in kilometers, isn't it? Just to let folks know, Mr. N needs a set of 722s, am I right? I have been unable to locate anything but race-prepped units, and keep in mind they would need to be shipped overseas. Can anyone help? This may be a 1 of 1 car!

I wonder if a '71 would read "240" or something? Anyway, hope you have long stretches of open highway there! Does anyone over ther ask you why the motor sounds so crappy?[lol]I know they're not used to hearing one idle like that! Keep in touch. Ron

Second owner of the car had it in the local GMshop for a week to try to adjust the idle and ignition... He got a better price on the car just because of this "bad behavior"!!
I have heard storys about a RA IV conv. that was sold back to the states, did you bought it from Sweden or from someone in the US?

Robert.

Rarest I've seen was the V.O.E. (vacuum operated exhaust) option on a R/A IV '70.

That option MUST have been added to that car, or it wasn't really a Judge.

The VOE option was available on the standard 400 4V engine ONLY.

Some of the options I have on the car are not in the optionlist from PHS, where can I get a complete list?
BTW, did all GTO 69 came with redline tires or was it a chose by the byer?

Very nice option list for a RA IV...I guess they deleted all Seat Belts and accessories from the looks of it...No Red lines were an option....

Yeah there were a few "No Cost" options like Bench Seat, 265HP step down 400 2bbl, etc...

Yes I also have a Red 69 H/T..the one in Avatar is my Conv...Is that the original owner back in '75??
