I don't have the best quality pics of it right now, but I can snap some later when I get a chance. Here's a few, more are on page 2 of one of my websites, not sure which though.

Minotti Body Fresh off the truck.

TCI Chassis, just ran the brake lines and connected master, mounted rear end and assembled front end. Hard to see the meats back there but they're 29x18.5's.:D The color on the rear end is also going to be body color. Its house of color candy tangerine.

Currently driving a hunk of crap, but I'll have a 68/69 GTO/LeMans when the right project car comes along. My old man has a 1969 midnight black 4-speed GTO (second owner) and a 1974 454 Stingray that he custom ordered from the factory.

In the very slow process of restoration:) Last thing I finished was the rear suspension a few months back. All the BMR Tubular stuff with new bolts and bushings. (not installed in photos)

RA V was an over the counter parts engine. I thought they made more than 45.

i can't remember where i seen that at,i think only 45 are documented in GTO's i think

Hmm, AFAIK, the RAV's were never a Factory Option, but were installed at certain Performance Minded Dealers if you had the right connections....

I believe there were a little over 200 motors produced that were sold over the counter to bigtime racers and car builders, but only a few actually made it into the cars as a dealer installed item:think:

I think they called it the Bob Cat option or sumthin:dunno:


Definitely a badarse motor though:cool:

Bobcat was a tuned GTO from Royal Pontiac in Royal Oak MI. They milled heads, put in thinner head gaskets and did hop up tricks on the GTO. They are the ONLY ones that made Bobcats.

Before the GTO they raced Catalinas, Venturas, and Tempests.

Here are some pics of a friend of mine's 69 GTO with one of the few complete Ram Air V installed in a car.Its also the orginal Royal Bobcat prepaired test car that was used by Cars magazine on the late 60s.
