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".

By the way there are 2 not one 1968 GTO Royal Bobcat Ram Air II's in this test. The one coming at you has a front license plate of GA-0448 and only a white pin stripe over the fender back towards the Royal Bobcat emblem on the door. The side 68 Ram Air banner is hung higher on this car then the other. It's top edge of the banner is much higher then the mid belt line of the car. The banner on the other car has the top edge along the mid belt line of the car.
The GTO launching with the D/S in the rear quarter window and Dave Warren standing in the starters box with his back to you, has a Black rear deck, a white pin strip along the tops of the rear quarter panels up an around the top of the rear window and a dealer license plate. A dealer plate has three numbers (3) a small letter D than two (2) more numbers. Look very closely athe the details of the cars! ie 234 D 56
