If its a true convertible trans am theres alot of
trans am experts that maybe proven wrong...

Is it the same person selling it as last time?
It would also be interesting to see what documentation
they have on the car making them think its a real trans am convertible.

Not one of the 8, quite a few mistakes.

Just a cleverly worded ad. Does not state it is one of the convertibles just that “Only 8 Convertibles Made In 1969”.

Even the hood is one of the older glass ones.

just checking, the ad is worded in a way that is really misleading but without really coming out and claiming it is a real one

Not really understanding on how a set of 40 year old technology brakes, 20 year old technology tires, and polygraphite bushings qualifies it as "pro touring style."

1969 Pontiac Trans Am Recreation.
I think the title gives it away as being a fake or has he changed the ad.

Is it worth 46K? You cant buy a real one under one million.

About 2.5 years ago, I believe one changed hands quietly in the mid 300's needing restoration to be perfect on a nice driver quality car. Thats all I know, which isnt much. It was a good deal compared to what others have sold for.
