Nice to find something like that, especially one you really wanted.
Uncle Judge, one reason why so many TAs show the 06A Time Built code on the Norwood Data Plates is because Norwood did not advance the week for some reason for many of the months. So all June codes are 06A, all July 07A. Another reason to see so many from June and fewer after, they didn't sell so well. PMD may have scaled back production of the TA waiting for the early ones to be sold. I have an Invoice record for one June built TA that PMD didn't sell until Feb. '70, and it appears to have been a straight Zone Stock unit, not a Company Car. But in reality, I think the 677 built at Norwood were fairly well spread out in production between May and early Nov. From the discussion we had awhile back: http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=581658 it seems the earliest TAs show 05A. The VIN may give a clue as to when in June this one rolled out, N103XXX being early, N107XXX being late. Body nos. will be all over the map. The PHS Invoice record will reveal if it was originally produced for a Dealer order or for Zone Stock Inventory. Fbirdinconcord, I keep a log of '69 'bird nos. for the purpose of revealing some of these little bits of trivia. If you are ever interested in getting yours added to the list, let me know. I don't connect cars with Owners but I do record the VIN (data isn't so useful without VIN associations). |

When I lived in S.Calif. '83-'87, there was a survivor '69 T/A (RAIII-Auto) in Tustin area. Talked to the orig. owner several times when I'd see him around town. Not interested in selling it. Orig. paint then. Friend who still lives in the area says he still see's the car once in awhile when the garage door is open. Not driven in a LONG time. They are still out there

I think the owner got tired of moving it with him since he quit driving it in 82. It has lived in garages, carports, barn, and canopy cover. He had planned on restoring it someday but something always came up. I think it actually bothered him to see it deteriorate.
I need a Panasonic CX-601EU 8 track player. The mounting plate is still mounted under the dash where it was installed in 1972. I just need a working unit. Here are a few more random pics. |

I'm going to ask the obvious question that's on everyone's mind...don't mean to be nosy but...
What did you pay for it? Ballpark is ok...

Is the metal vacuum line, that runs on the drivers side of the carburetor, for the vacuum advance? Does the vacuum fitting in the rear of the carburetor only have the one outlet for the power brakes? Keep the photos coming. Thanks.

74SDFormula: I will get more photos of that area later today.
67blackcherry: I think I got it for a fair price but my wife thinks its where two fools met. Him for asking it and me for paying it gregsgtos2: Being a car dealer I can never say nothing is for sale, but I think I will be keeping this one for quite awhile. I want to get it running and driving and leave it in its current condition. My PM box filled up the first day I posted the car with some very interesting offers. I showed my wife some pictures of some of the fully restored cars plus cash I was offered for this car and now she really thinks I am nuts.

Very nice find indeed.
I know of a 1969 TA RAIII 4-speed all numbers matching, never been apart, always garaged, in very very nice condition, and has been on blocks since the 80's. Guy loves to talk about it but has no intention of parting with it. What a shame.

There were definitely a few enticing cash offers. I didn't mention those in case my wife might read this, she would have that money spent in a day. If I ever give it up it will be a trade plus cash. That way I can hand her the cash and go cruising in whatever car I get in the deal. I definitely want to get it running and cruise it as is for awhile.
I think I have a set of 14x7 Jk Ralleys in my warehouse that I can restore. I will order a set of F70 14 Polyglas tires for it next week. I will also place an order for all of the repro hoses and clamps as well as a new gas tank. I will order the PHS tomorrow and get that info to JOHN V when it shows up. Here are a few more pics |

I'd pick up a Gardners concours exhaust system for it as well.

I probably don't need to say this, but you need brake and fuel lines too.
