The Royal Ram Air Treatment, Hi Performance Cars May 1969

I wasn't going to include this article until I read about buying a 7049273 Ram Air carburetor for $78.00. Last I knew they were several thousand dollars.

1972 Pontiac Trans Am 455 HO 4 Speed Road Test, Hi Performance Cars September 1972

I've had 2 Lucy Blue 4 speeds over the years and think they're one of the most well rounded muscle cars I've ever driven. Not quite Super Duty fast though.

Nunzi Super Tunes The 1972 TA 455 HO, Hi Performance Cars October 1972

You are correct.

The conversation took place at a routinely scheduled engineering session/vehicle review at the Milford Proving Ground, which Wangers would not have been part of.

We still held those (every Friday morning) even during my generation.

And I would have said "uh - ahem - by the end of the day, sir".

This isn’t really Pontiac related but look at that wild Willie borsch section. He had narcolepsy and they’d have to tap the back of the car w the truck when the lights came down to wake him up and he’d go like hell!
