69 Ram Air IV convertable
Hi guys
Well i dont know the whole story of this car but I do know it left the restoration shop in 1994 to have the motor put in it. The shop was Randys Specialties paint and body in Phoenix,he has done alot of gto's and judges . He says the car left his shop to have the motor put in and never heard from the owner again. I do not know all details however the guy I bought the motor from showed me pics of the car. He said the guy left the car there for a few years and never got him all the parts to put the motor in. At some point the owner came and got the car I am guessing in about 2001. He tried to take the motor but the guy kept it and told him he owed storage. Meanwhile I purchased the motor from him and kept trying to find the car. I finally found the car and bought it. I think I am the third owner. Im sure I will find more details,and I am still hoping to find the interior,although its been so long,I will give it some time. Any one out there know someone who may want a 1966 bonneville,convertable 421,tri power ,factory 4spd,air, tach and guages,buckets console,silver blue with white interior, it was driving when it was stored,I think original paint whats left of it ,az dry car, body in excellant shape. Its 20,000.00 but excellant restorable rare car. Rocketer |

That story sounds way too familiar, must be something with those RA IV convertibles.

69 RAIV convertible
Stoplight to stoplight and all those options for such a short ride. That has to be one of the most highly optioned RAIV convertible out there?
Any updates on it? |

When I look at PHS's for IV cars I notice there were two kinds of buyers, the drag guys with little or no options especially anything that back then was conceived as a "slow you down" option and then there are the "midlife crisis" and "rich kid" cars that tend to be optioned up like this one.
I think some people just wanted the "top" engine, I suspect most of the people in that second group ended up hating them as a RA IV is not the best daily driver with no bottom grunt and high spinning gears. There was a guy here in Montreal who bought a triple blue 69 RA IV convertible new (my friend knew him) and he sold it 6 months later after repeated trips to the dealer to "fix" the problem with the engine running rough and gutless.

Rocketer-
Very nice score! I'm sure you are very glad you found the body to go with the engine. Did you state how you found the body? I might have missed it. Were you just looking for a 69 to put the engine in originally, or were you dead set on reuniting the engine with the car? I hope you will continue on this thread as you restore your dream car. It should be an easy build due to the shape of the body. At least you have the most important parts if you cannot find the rest. Good luck and enjoy!!

Cuz68-
I went back thru the thread but all I see is that he found the car. I guess that could mean the guy he bought the engine from told him who the person was that brought the car to him and he seeked him out and found him, but I didn't get that from how I read it. Anyhow it's late and I'm cornfused so I'll read it again tomorrow.
