Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
 

I talked to a Swedish Pontiac guru a week ago about our RAII engine, and he mentioned that a guy with the name of Lawrienco (not sure about the spelling) used to dragrace a RAV engine in Sweden in the seventies. He has been searching for it for years. No one seems to know what happened with it when Lawrienco quit racing.

This proof sheet shows both cars staged and/or running at Miami Dragway in Feb. of 1969.

You may want to go here for more information as this was discussed earlier and some of the pics you are showing were either in mag's back in the day and in 1 case they were in a Pontiac book put out by Motion in Baldwin, NY. I think I sent someone (Jeff?) or Steved the pic's I have.

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
 

I have all those pics and more, but not from anyone in Yenko.

Keith... I also have engine shots. The Judge has what appears to be a 68 RAII motor; also if I'm not mistaken without my material in front of me, it is the one with the prototype Judge spoiler that isn't quite like production.

I have heard several people claim it is a Wangers conversion from a Limelight green regular 69. Does that fall in line with what you have been told?

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
 

I have three or four different sets of pics, different race sessions. The Judge in the set you posted definitely has a pic from the rear showing the prototype spoiler.

From another session; again with the blue car and prototype spoiler, an engine shot clearly shows what would turn out to be a RAII if the codes could be read.

Nothing of significance, just interesting how they swapped engines in and out of those cars like running water.

I take it you haven't seen the engine pic that I have with the RAII and "definite" prototype Ramair system, I'll post it tonight. Very interesting stuff.

They may have had one or more of these proto Judges that ran in the Wangers/Royal circles, that is the only thing I have never figured out from the pictures.

The Firebird being the only car to have the V in it, that is what I have heard too.

You know of course this will bring the fury of the Shultz's down on you?

Re: TUNNEL PORT RA V
 

I'm new to the site and I just started following this thread...interesting info here.... That car has always interested me... So, are you saying the Schultz car never had a RA-V when it was in Miami and all the data was faked or invented ?

I came home at lunch and was about to scan the pics, when upon looking closer I noticed a battery cable going to the right side. This is an article spear headed by Milt; at least that is who is credited, on the blue car and Judge's performance. In the mix of photos, they have one proto Ramair system, and one full engine shot. Then several of the blue car and Judge, the engine is for sure a RAII but now I believe it's a dumped in the article Firebird compartment shot. For what purpose to mock up an engine shot, I have no clue. Looks like the Ramair shot may indeed be the Judge (clone), maybe?

Geez in light of Dave's question, conflicting things I've already heard, and what you said...... one could only imagine if the truth will ever be known.
