Actually, they were not called RAI in 67. Just RA.

Options:... Rally II wheels,... Aren’t those Rally I wheels in the photos? The editors must have missed that one. Nice toys though.

Someone in the research department looked up the "JK" listed in the specs, which references as Rally II...remember this was back in the primitive days of film!

Yes, research tools were a lot more primitive back then. But JK code are for '69 14x7, unless they used the code in some other fashion I'm unaware of.

I like some of those comments. "Service Accessability-POOR"
I'm thinking; If you think that it's poor than wait until you see what is coming!

"Steering Effort-POOR" You can tell they were used to driving boats around. Must have gave them a manual box car to test.

Thanks for posting that, Jim. Makes me want to go down to the local Pontiac dealer and order one.

Thanks Jim great read. Do you have the continuation on page 81? Did you know it is the fastest muscle car. Yes faster than a Shelby Cobra. So I've read.
