So all that leaves is some cars listed in early 70s for sale w 4.33 which could have easily been swapped in so. I’ll concede that there hasn’t been one known to exists yet .

But I still was pretty sure that that language ( & special order axle ) meant a 4.33 axle at least if it was on the PHS .
Which I’d agree is better to go with than the window sticker.. plus different things were done at different times of year . No idea what build date your car is.

I just thought we may be looking at a really super rare example in Matt’s car which would have been even more amazing.

Which means our repros are likely worded incorrectly

So the next interesting thing is that my RAIV car doesn’t list the decor group but had everything on the decor group. Wheel molding, drip edge bright work, pedal trim, rocker moldings wheel opening chrome,” north” had said something. About it being changed on March 17th and that many cars had all of it even though only part part was listed on the PHS . Seemed like maybe those pieces were added automatically w the ram air IV option as I can’t think of one I’ve seen without it.

Those trim packages are definitely not part of the raiv option. As far as I know wheel opening molding and rocker panel molding were standard issue on 69 Firebird, except for Trans Am.

Where was this car originally sold? Like the yellow Porsche I had a red 911s wish I’d kept that too. Mine was a 70 .

I think the silver car came out of a dealership in Iowa but maybe Ross will chime in with a PHS I have it somewhere also.

That Bird LOOKS Great! I'm a big fan to Lettered Cars with a history!
And the Ram Air V takes the cake, My 64 had a ram air IV (Nunzi built) in it since 1970,(has HO WJ 421 tripower in it for quite Awhile) contemplating putting the RA back in!
