This car was back last night. Unfortunately I got there late and was only able to stay a few minutes. Did not see the owner. Greg, I also sent the contact info to BVZ. BVZ, have you been able to reach the owner to confirm or deny?

So Kyle, did the owner actually claim RAII status or what?
Man, that is a tough looking car. Rally I's, Factory 8-track, straight shift and no console.. Sure would like to see that car. Wonder why he's never brought it to BOP?

Greg, I guess you missed the out of state plate. He has only recently moved to this area. In talking with him originally he said it was the real deal.

Hello everyone, a friend of mine told me about the Ram Air II Roll Call, and talked me into typing in.
I do have a 1968 1/2 Ram Air II GTO that I have owned since 1981. I bought it for myself on the day before my High School Graduation party. I have had PHS confirmed it, as I found the build sheet on top of the gas tank and in good shape. the color is Verdoro Green with a black vinyl top. It is a 4 spd car, as ordered with 4:33 gears and manual brakes with disc up front. Also manual steering, with a wood steering wheel and wood shift knob.Also an AM radio. It was raced by Johnson Speed shop in Lansing Michigan, as the lettering was on the car, under the paint when the guy bought it from, saved it as he bought it sitting in front of a junkyard on Dort Hwy in Flint Mi. He restored it, painted it and put a 455ci. engine in it as it did not have an engine or transmission in the body when he bought it. The odometer has only 24,332 miles on it. I am sure that were hard miles on it many times down the strip. It was my dream car as it looks exactly like that Pontiac ad that they used on Woodward, "you know the rest of the story". Seeing that I live just about 7 miles east of Royal Oak and Woodward Ave. it is my dream to complete it and drive it down the Woodard Cruise, while laying down some long black strips.

Thanks for telling us about your RamAir II GTO Rick .
Thats a very small club of ownership.

Could you please share a posted copy of your Buildsheet with us for archives ?
No one else has posted a Buildsheet to a Ram Air II car yet .
GTOwolf says he has his, but he must still be having problems posting.

PHS Billing History Cards are always welcomed too !
And of course any vintage pics.

Thanks again for adding yours to our list.
We are about to catch up with the PHS total.

What type of rally stripe would this have been ...the guy I bought the car from in 76 said it had that white stripe on the hood like the 69 cars had. He didn't like it so he had the hood painted

Welcome to PY and to the Ram Air II Roll Call - it's a VERY small club!

BTW was the brother's car in Florida an Alpine Blue automatic? I bought an XW motor out of Ocala back in 1990 or 1991.

The '68 Rally Stripe was a double pinstripe along the lower body style line running from front bumper to the rear bumper. Hardly noticeable at first glance. I don't know of any factory hood stripe.

In the past as we all know you could get about any option on any car that you wanted. My car being manufactured for the Pontiac factory retail store could have came with just about any option offered to the public or not

One would think a promo car or factory test car would be earlier than the release to public cars?

But, promo and RA II introduction/end wasn't Pontiacs best moments...
