Greg, I had to stop by Summit Racing to pick-up some parts last Monday night. As you probably know, they have a cruise night on Mondays during the summer. Amazingly enough the car was at the show. I was impressed to say the least. It sounds like the owner has a few other neat Pontiacs also.

I might have to make that cruise some time. It's just so far for me, especially on a MONDAY night!

From what I remember it is black. I looked at the trim tag briefly. Does '68 use letters for the paint codes?

You sure it's not Black?

Yes, letters for paint and numbers for vinyl or convertible top.
Black RAII with a gold interior would make it like that RAII convert everyone knows about. I'm guessing this one is a hardtop? I like the 'no console' look.

i thought it was Dark Green
... or maybe Black Gold interior swayed me to Green thats why i was comparing it to the VooDoo Green / Ivy example we already have listed. Interesting car hope we knew more about it someday. |

I think it might be the car/owner that Brian and i were trying to track down from a past HighPerformancePontiac Website posting.
He just joined here with the same screen name (GTOWolf) that had posted on HPP , and sent me a PM. And said he would share some info with us about his TripleBlack GTO. If same car , he has owned since 1976 ! |

Our new member and Ram Air II GTO owner is having difficulty getting a post through.
But he is trying. They have new requirements for new members of PY now - i think they have to approve posts first. A lil bit more info - it IS the Car / Owner that Brian and i were trying to track down from the old post i found on HPP website. Some prelim briefings from owner - " build date is 5/29/68 out of Pontiac...what is cool about that is my birthday is 5/28 . I have build sheet that was found under carpet by drivers seat. Also paper work from PHS. ... 38 yrs I have owned this car. Heck I was 22 yrs old when I picked it up long haired hippie blowing off big block Chevys and Ford's or what ever else was around back then...lol " This is going to be pretty damd Kool - - i do believe |

Not a high survivor ratio but no stripes & no wings so nobody knew they were special.
He should trade me - mine was invoiced on his birthday.

By any chance is this one accounted for? I sent him an email and he claims its a real RAII with a RAIV top end.

Kyle suggested that I call the guy who was at the Summit show but I'm kinda shy about calling folks I've never met and asking about their rare automobiles...
If I ever get to one of those cruises, I'll certainly try to meet him though.
