How did the Ram Air cars run?
Ram Air cars? I don't remember driving Ram Air cars in '66 in the plant. I know that they had 'em, I don't remember driving 'em. I don't even remember seeing them pans on them cars. If they put them on, it was in plant 16 or someplace that I didn't see them. I don't remember a ram air car in , 67 either. I remember people talking about them. Something special on this car. I remember , 69, which was the first year they had the little hood flutters that worked. That was the first year I remember seeing something un*der the hood. At that time our opinion in the plant was that this is just something to attract the attention of the people. It gives the car fresh air, it doesn't force air in, it doesn't do anything, it
just opens it up so it gets more air. The people in the plant, as an overall opinion, weren't im*pressed with this. At that time I wasn't too much impressed with what I called "round-body" cars, the '68 and 69's, I had already gotten rid of my GTOs. I was a family man by now, but I still loved to drive 'em down there. The Ram Air IV cars in '69*every now and then you'd see the lettering on the hood that said "RAM AIR IV"- these cars hauled butt. I know that. They were fast.
