Thanks Guys
I was planning to just clean up and make safe like you suggested. Showing 43k on the odometer, ?? Steering wheel and door panels are nice, crack in dash, drivers seat torn and headliner hanging down. If I address those interior will be nice. Got some 8 tracks with it, seller said it works.
When I finally started looking hard at the car it was dark out and I had the lights on, I sprayed the underside liberally with Raid and a minute later all these black and brown widows started coming the down from the car slowly dying and then I spot sprayed of course. Spiders don't usually bother me but it was night and I was alone in shop and I started feeling them in my mind landing on me. Does that ever happen to you. I fogged the car last night. Cleaned them out pretty good.
Learning a lot of Pontiac info here, thanks, so if the earliest Ram Air car was 12D, does that mean the highest HP engine before that was 350 hp, or was it just the hood option added?? Also, Tracker1 Des, your Black car is so similar to this one, crazy...

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 &quot;sluggish&quot;
