Default Anyone know this ‘74 SD455 TA?

Does anyone know this ‘74 SD455 TA? It was buccaneer red with red deluxe interior if I remember correctly. Numbers matching 455SD and auto. It had a 10th anniversary hood bird and t-tops. Paint on the roof was gray. It was for sale in San Diego back in the mid 90’s if I remember correctly. I’m curious if anyone here purchased it. It was for sale for 5k. I think guys name was Rick? Oh and I’m pretty sure it was originally a Canadian SD car. I don’t remember if we pulled PHS for it. I don’t think we did.

He also had a 1969 Z-28 black with white stripes, black interior, 4 speed car in his garage. All original and absolutely beautiful car. The cross-ram and headers came in the trunk. The headers were on the car but the cross-ram was still there and not installed.

As far as I know, it was in Cal. in 2016/17 last I heard, owner was doing some work on it, asking about 80-100k for it at one time, believed Ttops were factory options. may still be there.

T-Tops were not an option on the 1974 TA.

There were a few companies that did add them to the Firebirds though back then.

Actually, I think the T-Top businesses were later.
The sunroofs were popular for a few years, then the aftermarket T-Tops became available. (after the 'Smoky' film)

He believed that it was an early Ttop test car? why? who knows? he was told by some that it was not possible, not sure where it all went from there.
