Re: GTO Barn Find
SPIDERS ARE AWFUL.
Yes your interior looks EXACTLY like mine - 3 chrome gauges hung from bottom of dash and 8 track sitting on the console, everything - I thought I was looking at my own car.
I do find it hard to believe that there isn't an earlier ram air car than mine , but so far no. The Pontiac guys have not yet nailed down the point of availability for Ram Air motors for 1969 model year - it was a whole new system for '69 with the interior driver-operated pull cable and hood flappers and its availability may have been delayed.
But your engine - being a 4-speed car - is functionally equipped with the same engine as a Ram Air III - (does it have #48 heads?) just without all the induction paraphernalia and foam air cleaner stuff...the automatics had a different (tamer) cam, heads and gearing than 4-speeds so is considered more "sluggish"
