Default 1969 GTO red Royal Bobcat

Here is Royal Pontiac's 1968 "Red" Royal Bobcat no longer with a 428 as in "Car and Driver" but now sporting a Ram Air II engine for two "Cars Magazine" tests.

In the June 1968 issue look closely at the photo shot with the GTO at the line. There are two men standing there. The one on the right with a white hat and sun glasses is Jim Wangers. He got caught at a test. Shhh don't tell any one. Some other Pontiac Dealership may get upset.LOL

The second article is from "Cars" magazine November '68 issue with "Motion" doing their "Top Cat" set up on the "red' GTO Bobcat Ram Air II.

That's Dave Warren at the drag strips starters post. Dave would continue to tune the car until it ran at it's full potential!

I'm hoping your beginning to understand who was really responsible for building and tuned these Bobcats......

The last words have to go on next "reply".
