The dual quad 465 Wildcat was also available on full-size Buicks.

I know one SD Pontiac that was built with AC even though it wasn't available.

From the internet....so take it for what it's worth...348 Chevy

Yep Bruce. The hydraulic lifter tri-power 348s were available with A/C. But only with a TurboGlide or Powerglide. No 2x4s though.

As I recall, 56 and 57 Chevrolet 2x4's with a/c used different pods on the bat wing air cleaner than non a/c equipped 2x4's cars.

64 and 65 wildcat converts could have a/c and dual quads..and a few where 4 speeds..

possible 63 had them too...but boy they would be low production cars

Prefacing this with my knowledge doesn't go back any older than '67, and sorry for delay in jumping back in -- had to go grab another vintage pinball machine today to add to the cave [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

I knew the 7.0L 'Hemi pony cars didn't offer factory AC.
In addition to the 426 'Hemi Mopars, the only make of car that I know of that came with a 7.0L engine topped with 2x4bbl from the factory was the '67 Shelby G.T. 500 (428 cu.in. Interceptor).

I vaguely remembered the Chrysler 300 letter cars and thought they might have had the A/C option. Reading between the lines of Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysl..._letter_series , it does appear these convertibles were offered with AC.

Regarding the '65 Buick Riveria GS - was this model offered in a convertible body style? Perhaps the Buick Wildcat with the &quot;Super Wildcat&quot; engine option -- if this engine could be added to a ragtop?

Same question for the mid 50's Cadillac - I know they made these with 'functional tops,' so I'm looking for a confirmation on whether there was a convertible with dual quads and A/C.

Thanks in advance for the continued help.

Yes.

On the Chrysler letter cars. The early 60s you could get the cross ram with ac in convertibles. Seems to be just a handful. 63 there wasn't a convertible and 64 they brought it back but dual fours were an option.

61 300g with ac. Air was $510 option. I am thinking 15 or less had it.
