Big project, but certainly a worthy candidate.

Here's a 69 Florida Hardtop at $1.5K NR. New floors, quarters and a lot of parts. This could be a really easy car.

Here's a strange one. Some #48 heads for $750 shipped, which is a great price, but it's way sketchy. The date casting is stamped... never saw that before? Not sure what caused the spring retainers to break? I'd definitely pass on them.

That number is cast not stamped. Spark plugs look legit too. Original A/C green tip

All of the heads I have ever seen have raised casting dates. This looks indented, like it was stamped.

Paint just makes it look weird. Look at the right side of the 8. The shadow from the lighting is only on that side also each of the four has a darker tint to that side. I'd bet my set of 48's that is a vast number and not stamped. Another point. The paint in the center of the eight looks "pooled". If it were stamped it would be the raised portion and the actual curves where the die sunk into the metal would have the paint pooled up

$750 shipped is a good deal. I'd sell mine for that but not shipped haha

Ok I agree with you about the date. What do you think would cause the spring retainers to crack?

[FASTASSBIRD]

I've busted lots of things in my time on this earth. That would not be one of em. I honestly don't have a clue. Maybe it hydralocked and broke that way?

This should get real interesting... a real 69 Trans Am 4-speed with no reserve. Currently $10K.

Why? This car is priced (MSRP) less than my 69 350HO, but it has all the options (outside of the stacked gauges) that make it the iconic 4-speed 69. It may not be perfect, but I'd say upwards of $60K easy.

[FASTASSBIRD]

Because he tells it off at such a highly done and well done car yet it doesn't have the correct spoiler on it that's why the spoiler drives me nuts

Wrong spoiler in the wrong spot on the wrong color stripes.

I don't like the Face Off poster either, but at $40K right now... that's pretty easy to ignore for a real 69 TA. You guys know what to look for to pick it apart, but it's a very cool car IMO.

[FASTASSBIRD]

It's a nice car not disputing that nor it's pedigree. And we all know it won't stay at 40k either.

[1969 Ram Air]

I'm guessing it will sell for $60k.

[FireJudge]

The mirrors are my focus point. Not sure what engine and transmission are.I really want one bad. Still following it. I will not let it sell for 46,500. I would go to 50K.

[RAJ7395]

Real 69 TA rear wings in decent shape are expensive and hard to come by so I understand why it doesn't have one. Still, I would've installed a correct looking reproduction at least.
