Has anyone done a 68 GTO Ram Air I roll call or registry? Any interest in one?

Try this:

RA II Roll Call



OOPS, that was for RA II.

[johnta1]

I could set something up, but the problem is the people owning them.

[1oldgoat]

What is the problem with the owners? I just thought it would be a good way to share information with other owners. The Ram Air II roll call is what I had in mind but for the Ram Air I cars.

With 808 of them being built there should still be a bunch around - I've owned 2 of them - 1 each auto/stick.

68's have long been looked down upon by the 69/70 owners as the red headed step child.

I love my red headed step child! Lol.

I also have a red headed step child to add to the registry. LOL. Mine happens to be for sale.

Mine is a black with blue interior automatic survivor, 56,000 miles.

My BHC.

Anyone else willing to post their 68 Ram Air GTO description?

My 68 Ram Air I convertible is awaiting restoration. It is Solar Red, white top, parchment interior, 4 speed, tach and rally gauges, poverty caps. One of only 92 Ram Air I and II convertible 4-speed cars built in 68. It was sold from Union Park Pontiac.

Really? My mom bought her wagon there when I was a kid. Trying to jog my memory if I knew of any red ragtops, but I only recall a maroon one.

Anyway, here's a related RAI question: Why would Pontiac offer 3.90s for the Firebird but restrict the GTO to 4.33s?

[1969 Ram Air]

Here's a picture of Gary Cave's 68 ram air I convertible. Burgundy, parchment interior, white top, automatic, hideaways, hood tach, ps, pdb, wood wheel and a bunch of other options I forgot about. He's restoring it now.

Thanks for adding it to the list! Looks like it will be a beautiful car when it's restored.

I think it was the other way around?

The Birds were restricted to 3.90 gears while the GTO's got the 4.33.

The RA I & II made their power at High RPM, and GM (Pontiac) probably didn't want the Firebird to show more power than the GTO?
(like the carb limiter)

All conjecture on my part.

In that thread I posted, in there is a couple other links I think.

In the other threads there are a few RA I's being talked about.

It will look a lot like this.....as long as you don't open the hood
