All the 67 RamAir cars came with 4.33 gears standard.
No way that thing wouldn't have tore your head off.

RamAir pans were also available over-the-counter items.
67 H/O cars are fast runners, i have one.

But, some peoples cars just won't do the boogy when its time to dance.

Boy I don't think I've heard a statement more true. More often than not, they look better than they run. A lot of people talk, but they never show up at the track.

I like my stuff to run as good or better than they look.

So very true.

Ya NO WAY uncles car had 4.33. He said it was a factory 360Hp car but the gears were changed to 3.55 years ago for driveability. Wasn't a bad car by any means. Purple-ish with black roof and interior. I have always liked the '65 GTO's. Thought of one of them with a 455HO would be nice too.

H/O's were rated 360hp and 3.55 was standard issue
RamAir were under-rated @ 360hp and 4.33

More than likely he would have been bragging more about the whopperjack exhaust manifolds more than anything, if he had a real H/O or RamAir car.
And knew the car.
A lot of guys will pick the highest horse as being theirs.

But who knows, it might have been a 326 Lemans with a GTO hood and emblems.
Shame it wasn't impressive, regardless.
