Default Re: 1970 gto judge ram air IV

I had a long conversation with Jim on the phone concerning this thread last night, he indicated to me that he was aware of this very car in Tulsa Ok., and that it was not assembled at the factory with the V engine. I see today from the one article that the car is in Tulsa(or was) so I am certain he knows which car this is. I am not saying one way or the other on this, only what I was told. Jim is very busy at the moment or more input may have already been posted, but in my opinion if the owner of the company called Pontiac Historical Services makes a statement concerning a vintage Pontiac, and I might add a very adamant statement, I would have to go with what he knows. Jim is a walking history book on these cars, I cant see a opinion coming from him in A public forum concerning any car unless he was absolutly certain. Pontiac is not the only division who had "Memo" on their build sheets, that could mean about anything in the way of special equip. These rarities are explained by the experts in the field, Jim being that person for Pontiac, even what was done in engineering is no secret to the experts in the field. Example; the one and only 68 Z ragtop, yes it was built into a Z on the assembly line, however, the cross ram and rear disc was done in engineering. This is knowledge that Jim and his friends and coworkers shared with all the cars owners, including the present. he would know if the car was assembled in engineering, which even if it was that is not a factory built assembly line car, it really would make it no different then a dealer assembled car, as with the one in question.
Thanks,
