My F455 L75/4sp has 24 options including Y99, and nearly all the performance and
appearance options. It came with a RA Hood, but the PHS confirmed Ram Air
was not among the options. I was rather disappointed in this, but still a special
Car in my mind, especially Admiralty Blue with Deluxe Saddle Interior as I have never
seen this combo on any other Bird. I did find a standard 73 4bbl Air cleaner, but
other than the one I found, have never seen another for sale. Had to find a non
RA hood as well.

Does it have the decal on the side of it still?

No decal just the remains of the sticky stuff. Found it on ebay, and needed
to inform the guy to ship what is pictured. he did not send the adapter for the
4 inch hose. I had one already, so no big deal. I also have the Original Air
cleaner from my Car (no decal) but it's very rusty so I only used it to verify the
one I got was correct. Likely could be restored, but beyond my basic welding
skills. I know the RA units are pricey, but at least their available repro. The
early non RA 4 Barrel units seem very difficult to find.

Just picked up another '73 Formula 400, that might be a RAM AIR car. It is an export version for Germany. Bought new in '73 by a female dentist. It has a open Ram Air hood on it, but the engine is gone. Paint is not original, I will have to check when I have it home. Paint of the hood is Brewster Green. So might be the whole car.
