Interesting car - 1969 GTO 4-speed RAM AIR 4 at $132K BIN in Illinois. The brown and poverty caps take it as far away as possible from something that pops, like a 69 red Judge. Front bench seat in a 4-speed GTO is uncommon. Beautiful car.

Not that I think that something is suspicious, but interesting to note the build sheet says 'Russell Pontiac', the window sticker says 'Russ Pontiac' and the owner's manual envelope says 'Giant Russ Pontiac'. Weird.

The PHS says Russell Pontiac also.
Probably the window sticker was misprint? Was this owned by a PY'er before?

The pic with the owner manual also shows Russell Pontiac along with the Giant Russ Pontiac
(in the Free Tow decal)

I'm showing a dealer code change in '68-69 for Russell - maybe they were toying with different names (tho both I list are under 'Russell'). Never saw 'Giant Russ' before.

Yeah, the Mayfair Maize car could be corrected fairly easily but the insane price makes it a non starter.
That Expresso Brown car is another story. Very, very nice looking car.

You may not like it, but I do.
Unfortunately it does look like a one-shot wonder. |

Back to the 69 RAIV GTO, I noticed it doesn't have PS or PFDB. Would it be better to leave the car with all its born-with parts, or is upgrading the brakes and steering OK?

Manual drum brakes, manual transmission, manual steering, bench seat, non hideaways, steel wheels. This guy was just about going fast. All the money was put into the drivetrain. I wouldn't change a thing.
As for the color, I wouldn't have chosen it but it's really pretty with those redlines... I would even say it 'pops'.

Regarding post#3221, That hood on the blue cat looks like an Oldsmobile 442 piece.

68 GTO 4-speed with a 71 engine and added RAM AIR in Georgia at NR $18.1K. Royal Bobcat paintjob. The car looks like it's in nice shape. Not a fan of the two-tone paintjob. I don't know anything about Royal Bobcat, but the trunk paint is fairly abstract. Also has inner fenders painted red. Pretty sure that was a 67 GTO thing, but not a 68.

Close , but no cigar. ha
66-67 had optional red plastic liners that fit inside the steel wheel wells on the exterior front and rear. 442's had optional full front wheel wells in red plastic. (no steel - entirely plastic) I think it was a weight saver idea/option by Olds |
