Welcome to the Forum Rick Mahoney.
Heavy Congrats on that awesome Convertible !
Way to go Man.

Thanks for sharing the info and adding another to the count.
I'm under the impression that car #10 - since it had initials of GC - might belong to a collector in Maryland.

Keep on Crushing the Competition with the Power of the Mighty Deuce.

Diego , could you confirm this car is still alive and has known whereabouts ?
Not looking for name address and phone number - lol - just enough info and details to let us know its condition and status.

A name or nickname would be good - even if you have to create one.
Thanks Man.

Wondered whatever happened to you from back then man.
Great Color and sounds like a real outstanding car too.

They don't allow much time to edit postings here anymore.
But i was able to beat the buzzer and got yours posted into the recent updated list.

Thanks again for coming onboard.
If you care to share any pictures sometime , by all means , please do.
We love them all - shiny or dull.

Baron,
The black/turquiose painted top car was ordered by my dad through my grandpas dealership.
I'm a little late to the party, Rocky had called our shop this afternoon and talked with me since the old man is on vacation this week. I remember some of the options the car had, but will ask him when he gets back, and share the info.

My dad had found all the origional billing sheets and paperwork from his roomates ram air bird, but has still unable to find the paperwork on his, and dosen't have the vin #, otherwise we probablly would have the car tracked down.
He did get close to finding the car back in the late 80's or earlly 90's and it was in a small town in Iowa yet, he had hurd that the car was there, and drove around the town, and asked several people if they had seen the car or knew the owner. Several car guys had rememberd seeing the car, but no one had really known the guy, as he had only lived in the town for a few months and moved away.
Thats the last known whereabouts and leads that we had on the car.

My dad has a few color pics of the car that i'll try to get scanned and put on here sometime this week!

Oh and from earlier talk on here, dad was the same dealer that ordered the 73 sd ta in primer, he had orderd alot of rare and unusual combinations of cars while he was a dealer.

Would be great to see pics of such an interesting car in unusual colors.
Has he ever mentioned why he went with Turquoise Roof ?

If Diego knows that the car is still alive , i'll add it to the list.
If not - we'll put it in as MIA - until someone verifies ownership.
Can't be many - if any - others with that combo.

Love that name! "Ram-Bunctious" is just as perfect as the picture shows!

[Diego]

I know nothing about the car being alive. I heard about it from a friend from MI so I assumed it was from MI.

The older I get, the harder it is to remember stuff, or it's easier to mix different stories up.

going off memory that sounds right

[Cammer-6]

BVZ
thats what I got in the Feb 1968 price schedule $14.74.
Ive got a couple more 68 schedules of different date but they arent easy to get to right now.
Im guessing you would want it for pricing this deuce which was late June?

:-)

PS to techteacher..check out the parallel RA II thread in the 68-69 gto section...

I posted this:Back in 1968 John Edwards Pontiac in Canton, OH. raced one with John doing the driving. I don't recall what color it was. I drove a Red one that was fully loaded with every option, vinyl top, close ratio 4 spd., performance axle ratio, etc. Knafel Pontiac bought it when I was done driving it as a Brass Hat Co. Car. I remember John Z. had that was Blue with Auto Trans, that I drove one day while I was attending Service training at the Central Office. It was sitting in the Exec. Garage. He had Engineering install AC on one, as it was not available with this engine combo back then. That would be a very rare car it it still exists.
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...60#post4756660

In reference to Baron Von Zeppelin post, it appears that neither of the RA II's I mention above are still around.

Another post mentioned they wish there was a list of Vin's for certain performance engines. Back in 1973-74 when the 455 SD was available, all Field Service Reps. were provided a GMPD bulletin that listed the Vin's for all cars built with this engine. The reason being a dealer could not order specific parts for that engine from GMPD without a Field Service Reps. approval to prevent someone buying a block and parts and installing in another Firebird, GTO, etc. and claiming it came from the Factory.

Hindsight being 20/20 I wished I had kept this bulletin with all of the Vin's as it would be helpful in locating some of the original cars and verify if they were real and not clones/retro/tribute, etc. or whatever some call copies today. I turned in all of my Dealer Bulletin and Zone Bulletin binders, Parts Bulletins, etc. ( 20 years worth) to my replacement in the Zone Office.

How about sharing a few photos with us. Thanks-Kyle.

[The Boss]

There's a Black/black 4spd that needs to be added to the list BVZ - I should have the PHS on it shortly.

WOW!
Those would have been great to have now.



Know who may have been the replacement?

Has he ever mentioned why he went with Turquoise Roof ?


He never mentioned why he chose that combination, I think just for something different, his first 3 brand new cars were all solid color, then he had a new 66, and a new 67 tempest both were black with a gold painted top 326 HO with heavy duty 3speed, then he got the black and turquiose ram air bird untill late 70 or early 71 and got a new 71 black with gold painted top 455 HO T-37

He sold the black/turquiose ram air bird to a guy from our town who worked as a lineman for a electric company, and he drove it for a couple years and sold it to another guy he worked with who transfered to another town.
My dad had last seen the car in the late 70's or early 80's as he was driving past a gas station in a town in mid western iowa,(name withheld for now), he looked over and seen a guy putting gas in it, and pulled in and talked to to the guy that owned it for a couple minutes, the guy was planing on repainting it, and keeping it the same color combination.


Cammer, I was with my dad when he looked for the car in the late 80's or early 90's, but I was either in elementary or middle school then, and don't remember the town that we checked out that the that the car was last seen in. I will ask dad when he gets back from colorado on sunday and PM you the name of the town.
