Why would you bother this man again his quote below is from a previous post. If this car was real I believe he would be one of the first to talk it up.

"Guys Pontiac "never" built a Ram Air V GTO at the factory!!!"

The RA V horse is starting to look like road kill it has been beatin so badly.

I don't see how you can look at it that way. According to Chevrolet records, they never built a 68 Z28 convertible either. And we know that car went to Engineering to have the crossram and rear disc brakes put on. I think the research that has been done regarding this GTO has been very informative. Even if it can be proven that this car arrived at Knafel with a RA IV engine, then what's the story behind the RA V engine that is in the car now? It has the correct engine code and production stampings. Were they stamped after the fact? We'll probably never really know for sure, but why call it a dead issue when there are still questions worth finding answers to.
