yup, that looks like Dave the dentist's car.   I saw it briefly in 2002 when passing through London, he let me take a look at it.   I didn't know it was originally a 350 car.   I remember noting at the time that it had a Corvette passenger side exhaust manifold.  I've seen the air option a couple times, and would really like to take a good look to see how it works.    I think Dave got this car along with the yellow/black 2+2 hardtop from BC in the mid 90's, he sold the yellow/black one in 2002 to a buddy of mine from New Jersey.

Did this car get  the engine and tranny from the famous red Safari that was the Fire Chief's car out west and parted out by a couple of our members here in Ontario ?

 I think so.

I believe this car belongs to member Pont427.  Love the "air" option! How many had that one??

Good looking car and a fun cruiser for someone at a reasonable price.

That air system is very unusual, is it something other than conventional air conditioning, sort of a powerful fan with extra floor vents?

Anyone know the story on this, and how many cars came with it?

---

Like I said above, I've seen it a couple times, including an NOS switch on ebay a number of years ago.   I think it is just a fan within the vent area that blows oustide air (from the cowl) through either the astro vents or the kick panel vents.   It is pretty rare.
