just too cool. just wait until you take it out and run the living daylights out of it. nothing like a ra2. i like the picture of the cat stalking it. i told my wife, just look at that cat eyeing that nice new paint job and thinking i bet i could leave some nice scratches in that paint.

Definitely my favorite color combo out of the 9 Ram Air II Hardtops we know of so far.
I agree with 65WJ on the striking quality of the dash - the whole interior - heck the whole damm Car is outstanding.

Best looking 68 i've ever seen was Aegena Blue, White Interior, White decals, Rally One wheels with some RWL's - and HideAways.

Been so long since i've laid real eyes on a 1 piece 68 - the double window cranks took me by surprise. Thats really awesome. Was thinking all the older vent window cars just had flip out vent wings. Been too damd long.
Would look funky to have power windows and then still have manual cranks for the vent wings.

Same here! Dih! The haters.

Voodoo green for me damnit! But of course being able to drive his car definitely has it's advantages.

So nice to see a beautiful Deluxe wheel in there instead of the usual aftermarket wood wheel or even the factory simulated wood wheel. Of course, I understand why. They are so tough to find in nice restorable condition.

Dang cat is a great mouser, She lives on the top of my Ram Air I car in the front garage It has a cover and old paint, I about dropped my camera when she came out there, I had a to shoe her away. We would have mice around here if she would have jumped on that car LOL

Very nice! One to be proud of.

More pictures when you get a chance. I think that car may just be my screen background.

Hi Mark I've been driving the ram air I car this past summer it still has the 428 in it. I took the ram air I engine apart last week and dropped it off at the machine shop. All very nice just going to take a freshen up, plan on putting it in the car this winter. John I will get some more pictures of the II posted, are you getting close on yours?

So what's the plan Rick, will you be selling the car now that it's done or are you planning on keeping it?

Chris I plan on keeping it so I can take it to the GTO and Pontiac convention next summer. After that if someone wants to give it a good home I will probably let it go.
