The air cleaner in the pic has "snorkels". It s not a "Ram Air' system.
Still not worthless, but not the "diamond in the rough".

Ok so after talking to them about it a little more I've figured out the whole story and it kind of puts me into a depression but what are you going to do right.
This gto was originally her brothers car, the guy was an abbid car collector from around your time P-body I was actually curious as to if you guys know eachother cause same area, same time frame.
Anyway he bought this GTO and the shell of a gto same year, also convertible that was trashed, he told them it was was one of less then 200 made they assumed it was the nicer one so after he passed away they sold the shell and frame(what was left of a shell) for 2500 to a guy on the east coast then he had them run the numbers on the engines and found the original ram air engine from the car paid another couple grand for it ( which made me made cause I wanted that damn engine) anyway long story short it was the nicer GTO that was intended to be the parts car for the shell not the other way around like they thought so they sold the rare one.
Hope that made sense as to why I thought it was a ram air :P
