 Check the vin located on the front of the block by the timing cover, if it matches the car's vin & it is YS code your looking at a base GTO/auto car. Good luck! |

Is there any type of charge (cost) listed on the "window sticker" applying to an engine option ? YS with 13 heads would be the base 400cid/350hp for automatic, and a no-cost inclusion on a GTO.
Maybe it has RAM AIR IV decals on the hood. |

shouldn't a Ram Air car have a underdash switch to open and close the flaps on a 70, this car doesn't have one?

I see no switch and no hoses..... Just decals.....
I still do not understand the reason the radiator tank is brass and why the scoopes are black..... |

Most older cars had copper tanks, nothing to worry about there. It wasn't until the 80's that plastic tank/aluminum cores became the normal radiator type. Whoever built/painted the car probably thought the black scoops looked good & finished them that way. Are the scoops metal or plastic? Original RA scoops were a plastic/fiberglass material. Non-RA scoops were pot metal but could be cut open with a dremel tool & some time. Does the underside of the hood have the RA plate bolted to it? Without the RA cable under the dash I would guess that they added the RA carb plate but no hood plate or the flapper doors/cables for the scoops either. If the carb plate is fiberglass that is a cheaper repro part that will warp from engine heat after a short time of driving. To buy the parts to complete the RA system correctly will cost you a few $$$$. |

I think that the true Ram Air 4 cars stated that on the scoop decals as "RAM AIR IV".

Ram Air = RA III
Ram Air IV = Ram Air IV In the other thread regarding this the msrp shows no ram air or ram air IV option. No correct engine codes for it. It is a basic GTO. Nice car. Yes if it were a RA car it would have the cables/knobs in the center under the dash with the words Ram Air.
