Default '68 Verdoro Green Ram Air (I - II ?) with black vinyl top

Was having fun today with a newspaper archive I found and came across this ad from Sept. '68 in the Vancouver, BC newspaper for what might be a '68 RA II Firebird. Anyone know of this car now or maybe know of Pontiac guy named Don from Vancouver from way back? Seemed like he knew his Pontiacs options quite well. Not sure if the car is a RA II based on the options listed so would be interesting to know if this is a known car now and if it anyone can say from the ad if the combination of options listed were specific to a RA II.

Look 2 ads above it.
Bowel McClean Performance Center, Don Murphy 682-3333.

Wonder if it was sold or delivered to Canada when new?

PS - Firebird would be 340 HP but probably hyperbole.

not sure, in searching further I found this ad with the same same phone number in April 1969 in the Vancouver paper, seems selling the engine alone in this add?

Good eye! just now clicked in my mind that Don you referenced in the
ad above was the same daytime number.

thanks for posting that one, looks like his motor company was quick to figure out the '68 round ports were special
