A total of 689 L74 Ram Air III Formulas were made, according to the published figures I've seen (your numbers appear to be for the standard 400).

Congrats on finding something.
These are among the few things I have yet to track down for the future restoration of my 4-speed T/A. (It has a 5/8" rear bar on it, though)

Springs do not lose "rate" with time. They only lose load capability. So if your car is riding really low, that might be a problem. But if the ride height is near stock, don't waste your time...

Interesting.
Is it called out on the invoice? Or was it an accessory installed at the dealer?
I'm not sure I've ever seen one with a factory installed hood lamp.

That's what I was thinking as well.
Look really closely at the exhaust especially.

You might also try setting your shocks on full soft (or removing them if that's not enough), and just get the...

GM did sell Trans Ams as an export offering in Europe for a few years in the early '90s, although I'm not sure how to identify one now. In the summer of 1990 I was part of a team that conducted...

Nope. Over many years of experience with these cars and talking to other owners, I have heard of no issues with the '70 hoods breaking like that, either.

It's been my observation that the braced hoods are more often bowed. It's possible those braces were added for some other reason than preventing bowing.
And for the record, my '70 Formula's...

I've also been a POCI member since the '80s, and was disappointed to read of the changes. I would have paid 25% more for 12 months of print, rather than get only 9 at the current rate.
