<< The afterburner switch was optional. According to AOSP (Adrian's Original

for the years 1975-1979. It was actually a type of turbo, and basically it
worked by using the front rubber bumper as a ram, forcing air up the
clothes-dryer-vent-hose and into the heater, where it was installed. The
heater fan double-dutied to give extra oomph
The ejection seats were also an option, >>
Adrian!! My '70 RB has both these options!! I swear it does! And a dryer
tub installed into the heater, which is useful for drying my shirts after a
rainstorm! Thanks for clarifying that as a factory option and not a DPO
addition!
