There's another one in Texas BVZ, I'm trying to get a PHS on it.

Cool Boss ! Hope it works out that they can share it with us.
 spb350 i'm not sure if i have the right facts - but supposedly the combined Ram1 and Ram2 Bird Verts built is only 12. fwiw A Bronze 400HO 4spd Vert was cloned into Ram1 car here in NC back in the 80's is the only one i know of. It had die-cast Ram Air emblems on the hood. White interior. |

There is a guy out here in AZ that says he has a car that he bought in 81 and it had the ram air pans when he bought it. I know somebody could have added them but he thought it was all original back then. It changed hands several times since then and now he owns it again. I'm going to buy some parts from him and hope to see the car later this week, is there any tell tail signs a car originally had RA other then the obvious hood pans, he did say the original motor was gone when he got it, it had a 428 in it. Thanks

No way to know without PHS.
Unless it was a matching # engine car with known history. All R/A had 3.90 Posi , but those can come and go for any reason. And 3.90 was an option with other engines too. If he really thinks it might be genuine, and 1 of 12, should be worthwhile for him to send some money to PHS. Especially if its built May or later. Jim Mino had good luck buying Bronze cars.

OK I went and looked at the 68 400 car here are a few pics. The guy painted the upper pan blue (LOL) I don't know why, can anybody tell by looking at the pic if it looks like an original pan?
He is not sure what the rear end is other then it is a posi. Vin is 223678U149XXX The hood scoops are cut out Some nice options PS, PDB, PW, P. Top, 8 Track, Sport wheel, Space Saver Spare, Custom Int Does the VIN coincide with RA production dates?

another run of the mill RAI car for your records
Another contribution. WI engine long gone still retains original trans and rear. It would be awsome to see a registry of these great cars including the inferior RAI!

Thanks for sharing with us 9manchu .
Yours is the earliest 68 Ram1 car i have on file (Bird or Goat). RA1John has said he has a fair amount of data on mostly I's and some II's With that and what we've gathered on PY it might be about time to try and do a registry if anyone has server space to donate. |

They are single but on both sides the wire has been cut and spliced. Are you trying to pin down the switch from two to one or ???

Since you have the VIN, there is nothing stopping you from getting PHS docs on it, if you are interested in possibly buying, knowledge is everything!

It could easily be a RamAir 1 Car by the VIN.
I have 2 on file with VIN's from plant U that are a good bit earlier. Not saying it is a Ram1 - just that it "could" be. Unfortunately, on all the Ram2 Birds i have on file, they blocked out every digit after the plant code digit on them. If Ram2 is all you will settle for, you should have gotten the build date from the trim tag. Would need to be Mid May or later to have chance of qualifying for Ram2. If it were a 3.90 he would know it after driving one time at highway speeds. Not to say someone would not have changed it for a friendlier gear tho. 400 HO Auto came with 3.23 gear as standard. |

I have a friend who bought a brand new ram air II firebird from Redman Pontiac in Painesville ohio, He no longer has the car, but it was/is a Nightshade RA II 4 speed car.
We have the original window sticker, warranty card, and hand written bill of sale from redman pontiac. If anyone has the car who might like to have copies of the paperwork, please contact me at [email protected] and I can help you to get the stuff. I have pictures of them on my phone so I may be able to post partials of them. He also has several pictures and even some 8mm drag footage of the car that may also be available Chris

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
