It's my understanding that the carb is different between the two. Plus, the heads and cam were different in the beginning of the year, but eventually the RAIII was downgraded to feature the same cam and heads as the 400/350 MT. </div></div> Don't forgot about the RA headers too. Thats another difference </div></div> See last post, pg. 4 flyingn Dana, any more pics?

Re: GTO Barn Find
Looked at the spare wheel closer today. Dated 11/68 just like the car with JA disc brake 14x6 Rally II like the 68 Yenko got. Tire on it is a Mickey Thompson Indy Profile J70-14. Jack and Handle are in there too. Picked up a set of Rally II's with patina from CL for $75 yesterday. Pure luck.

Re: GTO Barn Find
Is the underside undercoated? Being from CA probably not? I have had good luck soaking the underside of none undercoated cars with Simple Green then pressure washing. Amazing the cool old stuff that comes up. I would guess your car still has a lot of original marks/stencils underneath. Very cool car. Congrats!

Re: GTO Barn Find
Undercoating, what is that? Just kidding, no undercoating on this one. Wheels are a patina match.
