Not sure what car that window sticker portion you posted is from, but I can see it's also on the wrong form, so I assume it's a PHS repro. The form PHS uses for 68-69 Birds has a large, lacy, thick border like regular 1968 Pontiac window stickers, but it should have a much thinner border. Example of one I created for the original owner of a RAII Bird. Note the different border, and this is the correct description for the option. Mike

I suspect it's not a real RAII.

Discussed elsewhere. He's got a 071 non-Ram Air block. So, at a minimum, not original drivetrain.

Some of the later II's built in June/July after they ran out of the as-cast C118 blocks have had ground & stamped 2506 blocks in them like the 69 IV's. It's conceivable that one of them could have ended up with an unground one. The eun sequence, the look of the stampings and the vin stamps would tell the story.

Does anyone know the car in question, the owners comments sound shaky? If I were a detective my BS meter would be thinking insurance scam.

Thanks Mike, I wanted to get that verified too. Never saw it before and this place can prove the validity for sure...

The man who used to own the Nightshade Green Ram II car posted his original window sticker earlier in this thread. From the U - Lordstown plant.
Noun has the right template and stuff. ============================= The stolen Convertible car - giving it potential benefit of even being a Ram II car - could have had an engine or block replacement. On the overall scale of Ram II cars, over half do not have the original engine intact. 3.90 rears on the Birds / 4.33 on the Goats Stuff gets clobbered banged and bruised easier. The owner doesn't even know what Verdoro Green is. (Avocado) Wrote down a casting code that would pertain to 99.9% of all 68-69 400 blocks ever produced. Doubt he knows anything about head block carb codes or any date codes , stampings etc.. etc ... We could do a group collection $5 each via PayPal and someone buy the PHS for the car. But they might become part of the investigation afterwards. ouch 223678U154484 Anyone have any Convertible VIN's to see what time frame that VIN might fall into ? It would be borderline range if Hdtp and Vert run consecutive VIN's. If Vert had its own count, then its probably a very late build. Could even be a 350 car that was upgraded a little bit before he bought it. Lots of those out there. Don't think he would know the difference either way. Terrible his car was stolen like that, no matter what. |

8U154484 is in the '67-'69 Firebird Registry I started over 20 yrs. ago.
Sold by a member on this forum (most know him) in spring of 1999. Engine at that time, "WZ" 04A LOR5838 FWIW... A Firebird built less than 300 units later was a RAI conv. One built approx. 900+ units prior was a RAI Cp. (Bronze).

John, I think this is a quote from you?
Quote:
Any one have all the VINs of the RA II's? ( besides PHS) Fred still have a copy?

I was cleaning out my garage today and found a lot of 67-68 parts that I had collected for 40+ years ... Odd that I found this today .... I bought it from Sweden many years ago ....

I usually hangout over in the 70-73 bird neighbourhood, but saw this, this evening on Hemmings site and thought I'd share it with you guys.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
