[1969 Ram Air]

Please let me know if you have a '73 Formula with factory ram air, and if so, the drivetrain and color combo. I'd like to find out how many of the 533 cars exist.

My Formula has a 400, auto trans, navaho orange exterior and white custom interior.

Thank you.

I know of a 73 Formula Y code 455 with ram air that was sold in western NC earlier this year. The car was numbers match but was apart and needed quite a bit of work, but at least the ram air cleaner was very nice.

The exterior was red. It had a black dash pad, and I believe I was told the seats were white.

Thank you for your responses Poncho Mike and wizard 61.

In the February 2008 issue of Musclecar Enthusiast, they feature of '73 Formula 455 with an auto trans and ram air. It's Navaho Orange with saddle interior.

Want an air cleaner decal to compare to yours?

I used to have a '73 Ram Air 400 Automatic. It was a car that was originally sold to Switzerland. It was yellow with a vinyl top, black inside. Sold it to a guy from Austria, who repainted it in orange. Never knew they were that rare!

Nice one, Wild Kat.

Thanks Formulabruce,

All the major metal work is done now and it is looking good. Steve's engine guy can save the original block, so the car will be completely numbers matching. I am really looking forward to it.

Held for Ransom,

Is that air cleaner decal a reproduction? I might need one of those.

I have most of one. It is a 400/4 speed car with the Y99 package. Its color is whatever Lucerne blue was called in 73. (I can't remember the name of the color)

A repro of sorts. I made it at home, using my printer and label making material. It's paper instead of vinyl and I shot it with high temp clear. I don't know how long it will hold up under the hood.

Regatta Blue.

Please post some pictures of this one when it's done.

[wizard61]

1969 Ram Air,

I am hoping the car will be completed in June or July of next year. I will be happy to post some pictures when it is done. For in process photos, I will have to defer to Steve. He is taking some to document his progress.

Kind of yellowish, but not the same as '72's #56 yellow. Think Butterscotch pudding maybe. I'll attach a pic & see if it looks fairly accurate.

[Held for Ransom]

Ric, that almost looks like Sunlight Yellow.
