Selling a Ram Air III convertible, of 175 produced with a manual transmission. This one was factory equipped with the M-21 close ratio transmission and 3.90 posi rear. Making it even more scarce.
Most of the hard work already done.Frame off started and 99% of all metal work done. Couple spots in trunk, hat were supposed to be done but sheet metal guy but he is going through divorce. It is ready for paint and I had it at paint shop, ut finances changed. This is not a desperation sale. There's too much to list but I've got all of the hard to parts. A brief description but it's best to call or email for additional information.
Car comes with a complete, ate correct Ram Air III (WS code) short block. The block has 65,000 mile and it is standard. It was in great runningconditionwhen it wasremovedfrom a wrecked 1969 Judge. I do the havedocumentationthat motor came from 1969 Carousel red Judge coincidentally. In 1974, he ram air motor was put into a '65 GTO convertible and used as a weekend cruiser. In 1992 the same owner decided to repair the original '65 motor. Since then the ram air block has been wrapped in a heated garage ever since. The block is very clean and spinseffortlessly. Because it was in great running condition when puled, was told it doesn't need rebuilding. When the block was removed from the Judge, new timing chain was installed at 60K miles and only diven 5000 miles until 1992. My thought was to take it to my machine shop and have them inspect it, lean and reassemble it. The number 48 Ram Air heads were crack checked and cleaned. Car comes with the rare and high dollar #8273 carb, 970 distributor, int factory manifolds, ate correct alternator etc., o name a few. All the original ram air parts are in excellent condition and are 1969 GM. The factory Ram Air hood is perfect shape. The M-21 transmission and 3.90 rear have both been rebuilt. Comes with a very nice shifter, hifter rods and lock out. There is not exhaust for car other than manifolds.Interior is driver quality. Dash has small crack but is still soft. I was told it could be repaired and doesn't need to be restored. T center console has already been restored and perfect. The car dose not come with carpet or new top. Rear bumper is the original and good for re-chrome.
Originally the car did not come with hideaway headlights, achometer or rally gauges but I have them now. Comes with a new gas tank, traps and sending unit. New metal tail light bezels, ew engine harness, ew hood hinges, ew core support, ew ram air cables,new z-bar etc, OS dated voltage regulator, OS idle stop. No Wheel well moldings or rocker moldings.

The frame was sand blasted and primed. It needs to come back out to be painted and have new control arm bushings installed.I have an extra set of front and rear control arms come for car. I also have new rear bushings already. New body bushings are already in place. A complete one piece floor with floor braces was installed. Also new fender patches. Half of the passenger 1/4 panel was replaced as well as the outer wheel house. The driver's 1/4 was an NOS convertible panel, nstalled back in the day. All welding was butt welded and not overlapped. The deck lid is solid and original with nice trunk stainless.
