'69 RAIV GTO Convertible

[Tracker1]

looks like Midnight Green was a Special Order color unless I am mis-interpreting SOLID SPECL @ 100.05 . I always associated it with big full size Pontiacs.

What's puzzling is 69 raiv firebirds only came with 390's you couldn't get 433. RA III Firebirds could be ordered with optional 433 ratio...Go figure the logic.

Im perplexed. If the RA IV's had to have a 3.90 gear as standard, why was it an option? And does the PHS spell out the RA IV? It just says ram air. Could this have been a RA III with the 3.90 option?

Yes the PHS does spell out raiv code 347

and what is 'SCLID SPECL'?

I'm assuming the engine isn't the original since the seller doesn't mention it.

Forgive me for "picking at nits" but, for $190,000 is it really that hard to get the shift ball straight on the stick?
