The other thread is locked, but I think the production figures for RAIII/manual tranny/AC is too high. Alas, I don't have my numbers - someone else has mine - but considering about 4400 RAIII cars were built, the number &quot;452&quot; doesn't make sense. We can narrow it down and assume there were only 1500 or so GTOs with the RAIII/M20 combo, so the number 452 seems even more glaring.

Grant sent Don and me some statistics. The number he shows is the following:
All 1970 GTO's with L74(Ram Air III),PS,4spd, and A/C.totals 425 cars.

I would love to see where those stats are from because they just seem too high to my eyes.

Also, from my memory, I don't remember any combo as you've listed that would have included PS. . . oh well, nice car anyway!

Ironically, the guy who has my paperwork had a famous dad in the Pontiac world - I need to get 'em back!

I've got 2432 with RA III and M20 in my materials.

The only 425 number I have (or did the previous poster mean to type 452?) is RA III, M21, Judges in 1970.

Love to get my hands on any chart that breaks down by A/C and power steering with engine combo...

I may be all wet on the numbers,as I am new to Pontiacs. Maybe Grant will chime in.

Well, Rob sent me the docs and indeed this is the real deal. I stand corrected . . . and surprised that so many RAIII/stick cars were built with AC.

I believe the number 425 was counting GTO's and Judges. I thought the Judge count was 142cars or something in that range.Even though if your counting total GTO production at over 30,000 cars and 3600 judges I think either number is quite rare. Ive only seen a handful of them in over 25 years of collecting them. As for the deal I like to thank Rob with all his patience as it took a long time to get this deal done and would like to tell him here also that it was a pleasure meeting him and thanks for being a stand up guy. Good luck with the car as I know you will enjoy it for years to come...Don

There's a guy on the PY site that has a Grenada Gold Judge with a Sierra Yellow top.

Personally, I think I'd prefer the inverse.
