'70 TA's are everywhere...?
 

I don't know what's up, but it seems like 1970 TA's are falling from trees recently. There was one at Mecum Indy last week that was an automatic which bid to $54k and no sale. There is the one posted on this forum that will be at Mecum Seattle that is also an auto.

There also is now one on ebay with a BIN of $65K. You guessed it, another auto car.

And then yet another '70 also on ebay that is a bit of a restomod done by Mascar and being sold at RK Motors. Yet another auto (yes that is 4), and listed on RK's site for $89K.

Any thoughts on the 2 ebay cars? How about the one that was a no sale at Mecum Indy? Did anyone get a chance to look at it?

I'll never get tired of 70 T/A's. I say let them continue to fall from the trees!

I was checking out that one RK has. The pictures make the color look funky.

Yeah, it looks a little aqua in all but a few pictures. I assume since Mascar did it the color is correct...., but who knows?

I think it's just the time of year for selling classic cars. Their are currently FIVE 73 Trans Am's on ebay. Typically their is just one or two.

Forget those flared out units lets look at the bare boned power houses ;)

Some of those cars have more time on eBay/Mecum auctions/ transports, then on own power torching roads where they belong. No one wants them?

I think they've reached that point Mike where they get tucked away like rare bottles of wine, only to be talked about & not touched. ;)

Hey Brewster!! Man I have always wanted that exact Formula. Too bad on the price :( (for me). Great for the Formula community lol. Back in the late 80s early 90s I worked at a Pontiac Dealership here in San Antonio while I was in high school. One of the mechanics had that exact car. Guy was in his early to mid 40s at the time had long hair etc... He drove it to work almost every day. The paint on his car was sunburnt and faded but the original factory stripe was still on it and it was as straight as an arrow. Car was just complete and great shape sans the badly faded paint. It was also a 455 HO car. I was in awe of it back then being a teenage kid that was already obsessed with Pontiacs. I tried to get him to sell it to me several times and he never would. I moved on to other jobs and never saw the car again but I hope its still in the area. If I ever find it....

Only a few years till the state takes away my license So I need to drive it NOW

I think that's the car that Motoexotica has been trying to sell for 6 months or so. Wrong fenders and the wrong color. If it's the same car it was originally Quoizel Gold.

Notwithstanding that, nice looking ride.

If that ever happens, please keep me in mind;
I'd like to think I would take superb care of it for you ;)

Hell, slow you drive it will be a few days. Go Hawks, and how about those Brewers??? Might sweep them Detroit bastards :whoo:

Jimmy, next time I come down to visit Featherland I'll give you a call. Maybe we can go find a cold beverage and some meal???Would love to see that 72 of yours.

Don't hold your breath, looks to me like Norwood may have already promised his car to someone else....

Bob,
I didn't think the Mecum car was that nice of a restoration. They didn't announce whether it was "born with" engine & drivetrain or not which usually indicates it's not. The seller wanted $60k

Doug - Thanks for getting us back on track. It seems like the shark tank is on vacation right now.

Thoughts on the Ebay cars? I kind of like the one in Birmingham. Strange there are no underhood pictures and the shaker has no call outs..

Bob, the Michigan car is pretty nice, you do wonder what they're hiding under the hood. There is not supposed to be call outs on shakers in 70 unless it's a RamAir IV.
The RK car doesn't do much for me, not my cup a tea.

I don't get it, are those the wrong wheels
