That's a loaded up build sheet.

Nice car! no reserve!! Grannie options aside it is loaded with body guard features. Very unique, and a good candidate for a pure stock racing. Early production and Posi too!!

This does look like a nice car.
So the 455 HO option in a GTO/T41 Lemans did not automatically get Ram Air included?

Correct Steve, I think Ram Air is a rare option in a 455 HO GTO. Even 71 455 HO Formula's could be ordered sans RA.

I don't recall seeing that many options selected on a car and it not have A/C. Very nice car. Still has the open frame alternator, too.

Pretty sure this is the same car that was advertised on Cars-on-line for quite a while. I was talking to him about the original Non-Ram Air cleaner..........

Nice car. In 1971 ram air was a option on the 455HO. In 1972 the endura front end and ram air were mandtory options with the 455HO option.

Don at DCI Motorsports had one very similar to this one back when I bought my car from Mike. I'm pretty sure his had the granny seat and column shift. I'm going to check when I get home. Agree with all, very nice, loaded car.

dont recall if it was from fremont also but this aint the 1st 71 I have seen that still had the un-notched rad. shroud as orig. equiptment. would have been neat to be at the showroom when this puppy was ordered. "I will take the drive in movie front seat option along with the smokem tires "X" in the vin option".

This is the same car I looked at back in 2007. Don Johnson, DCI Motorsports in Ohio had it for sale at $28,000 OBO when I first saw it. My notes show it had a service carb and HEI, was 1 of 224. Here are some pictures Don sent me.

IIRC the chrome mirror remote bezels are oval, and the sport mirror bezels are square.

The hood looks like it has had a RA pan on it.

Yep, sure does. Has a lot of screw holes in it. Maybe some P.O. put an aftermarket pan and breather on it.
