Was that a round port RA or a D-port RA car? Mayfair Maize?

Default Ra ll

I can’t tell from the engine photo, although the “center” portion of the round port heads have a bigger boxed look opposed to a D port head.

It does look like Mayfair Maize against the snow.

Neat cars, i had a buddy buy a 68 RA Firebird from the original owner the summer before our senior year 1982, His was Autumn Bronze w/black viynl top and Keystone classics. Cars was wrapped around a tree by the end of 2nd day he owned it !! destroyed the Car and His full ride college football schoolership due to injurys sustained in the accident.
