69 TA spotted
Came across a 69 TA at a concours at Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys ,ca. Last weekend. At first I assumed it was a clone but after looking it over it seemed to be the real deal. Nice car. Good restoration. Parchment white std interior( probably pretty rare for a TA), 4sp, console, steel hood, built in Van Nys. 50/50 cowl tag. Stripes painted over the spoiler. Had the firebird emblem on the front fender and the Trans Am sticker below it( I couldn't remember if they had the cast emblem or not). Arrowhead on the front bumper.
The owner said he bought it at the BJ auction in Vegas 4 years ago. Anybody remember this one?

Dont think so for production.The early ads for them had both.Mine for sure did not and have never seen a real car in person with them.The car does look legit except for that unless it was a early engineering car?Tom

I didn't think so either. Whoever did the restoration was covering all the bases. I looked at the BJ page about the sale. It went for $99K, + the auction percentage, in 2016.
So they painted over the cowl tag when they painted the firewall at the factory, correct? This one in particular had been cleaned and was shiny. Looked odd to me.

The original fenders on my T/A have never been painted,one was drilled and filled from the factory the other was never drilled. Both sides only had decals. The drilled holes had brass or something like silicon bronze in them and then metal finished.
