Default 1969 RAM AIR IV GTO CONV. 4 SPEED FOUND

I am very happy to tell you that after a long search for this car, the chase is over, stories of a fast RA GTO conv. had floated around for years and was never able to confirm it's existence,we got a good lead on a rust free GTO convert. with a 4 speed and went to take a gander at it and found that there was a ram air pan on the bottom of the hood along with a big block chevy between the fenders, the owner said he bought it in the early 70's and quickly squeaked the motor, had it rebuilt, squeaked it again, he said 400's are junk and had a 454 installed, also not being a big fan of green he had the car stripped and repainted black by earl himself, but the good part is he kept all of the original parts to the car including the engine and gears that he removed because it would only do 90 mph tops, after sending for the PHS and confirming all the suspicions, we talked at length with the owner,and made a deal on the car and brought it home, it will be on the back burner for a while but I thought I would give you guy's a peek, the car was originally verdoro green with a dark green top and gold bucket interior, the temptation to throw all aside and fix it is a killer, but it will have to wait!!!! so don't give up on the hunt guy's there is still some good stuff hidden out there...
