AC and Ram Air

Short answer: No true Ram Air car ever got factory A/C — that means 1967–68 Ram Air I, 1968 Ram Air II, and 1969 Ram Air IV cars. But a 1969 400 H.O. (“Ram Air III”) could get A/C with any transmission.

The reason: the 1969 RA III (the 400 H.O. with cold-air induction) was essentially a standard 400 mechanically — no mandatory 3.90, no special heads, 2-bolt mains (the manual RA III did get the 068 cam) — so PMD allowed A/C. Note the year quirk: A/C wasn’t offered with a manual transmission in 1968, though it could be in 1967 and 1969.

  1. so if I got a ram are kit for my 68 400HO could I actually then class/advertise my car as a ram air III legaly

    1. Ram Air III Clone would be the ethical description if you are going to resell. Plus records from PHS will list original specs.
