NICE color combo, this auction is strange..no reserve and not near enough description for such a rare car... column shift for a ram air iv? can't see any gauges or tach..matching #'s? all in all just strange but wow rare car indeed!

Why would it have a regular air cleaner on it? Seller notes it needs a Ram Air set up.

Good points Forrest - very intersting car. Wish seller had posted some photos of interior. Not sure how you restore a car with that pedigree and put that one nostril breather on it

I'm with BJ on the breather, at least a dual snorkel and a vent tube would be fairly decent - or even aftermarket chromie. Its had some miles put on it since rebuild going by exhaust port paint on the head. And they appear to be RoundPorts too ! Maybe just something he slapped on it to look more stock'ish for the pics. just weird lol
Has the right exhaust manifolds instead of headers. Would have been a poverty cap steel wheel car. Non-console bench seat is a trip. Pretty wild / unusual car. I like it. Thats an American PHS Invoice for a Canadian car. The GM of Canada history report would have been better document to buy. And would be a double cross check reference for engine block originality (EUN# vs. VIN#). Looks like a pretty strait up original car in most respects. Hope it has a lot of born with drivetrain intact. I didn't see any sign of an interior Ram Air cable pull / bracket. Would be an extra wild factor of craziness if it was an Induction delete car  Not that i've ever heard of or seen one ... just saying |

of course #s matching would help, very rare to have an original ram 4 in any case. Most eventually got a rod thru the side of the bock.

That is/was Dan McKinnon's car. It was in Hemmings maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Dan bought it out of Canada for a VERY reasonable sum. I was actually the first caller on the car at that time but the column shift automatic and the location killed it for me. I probably should have bought and sold that one.

What a strange way to get a deal. 25 grand for a ram IV ragtop is very nice. I don't know about the 65 k scenario profferred by some. Granted, rare options but I would think console shift, more vibrant color interior and darker paint would really wake up this car. Of course then you'd have to deal with 20 other other Starlight Black/red interior Ram Air IV convertibles which most likely are tribute cars! Maybe Midnight Green would be better? Just thinking out loud if it were my car.
