Default Ram Air 73 convertible

I need a definitive answer to the availability of RAM Air on the 1973. I have used the search function and looked everywhere on line I can think of. My early research showed that the RA option was available for the non-mach1 Q codes. But I have also found that no 73 model could get RA. I am looking for documentation prior to buying this car. If you can help I would be very appreciative.

Just a quick check - CJ Pony Parts sells the 71-73 Ram Air Hood.

Thanks for the info. The hoods are the same, I belive, and alot of the 71-72 stuff runs over to the 73 in the aftermarket. I need to know if it was a factory offering or dealer option available in 73.
The infoI had was that a Q code could get RA but not if it was a Mach 1, only the standard Mustang.

Only the 302 and 351-2v could get the Ram-Air package after '71. The 351-4v could get the hood, but it had the block off plates installed and had a regular air cleaner.
