My take on this:

The folks ar PHS compiled this info. Don't think of it as a combo of options (RAIV and gears) because option combos cannot be determined without going through all the invoices....

I don't have that info. But IMHO, I feel the 400 4-speed is desirable enough that the T41 nose is a non-issue. The car deserves to be restored, but only you can determine whether this is the car that...

I bet either white or black, depending on the trim. What color's the interior?

I have production figures for those cars. Perhaps this is a 428 3-speed car? Or maybe it was 1 of 6 cars that toured the country at new car shows?

Hey, no worries. We're all here to discuss cars and figure out what is and isn't. There's plenty of room for everyone in the hobby, so welcome!

I think others here would be better qualified to answer the question, but I will say that there are others who are probably as good.

I think a 4-door car would be rare with this engine. Funny thing is, they made more '69s than '68s with this engine, although they made more sticks in '68. I believe the introduction of the 428 as...

You won't find them on the Net. I've managed to get a copy of a list tabulated by Fred Simmonds, who most recently was a big guy at Pontiac Motorsports. I don't know if he still works in that...

My source shows 726 YK engines built. I believe this is the engine production and not car production, but I am not sure. Still, it gives you an idea of the rarity.

In contrast, an HO with a 3- or...

1458 ragtops had the T41 nose. That's just over 42% of ragtops.

Everyone I know who has these cars are regular joes like you and me.

BTW, you never emailed me last month for that stuff I had for you. However, I forgot what it was. Canadian stuff from POCI?

Here's a better idea: try to find a real car and see what equipment it has.

Sawruk's 1 of 100 estimate was nothing more than that - an estimate. As it was made about 20 years ago, when little was...

Just because I feel Sawruk is wrong does not mean I have a dislike for him. As a matter of fact, I spoke with him at the POCI show in CA.

I even managed to get my friend to ask Jim Mattison about the silver Temptest that Sawruk likes to wax poetic. It could not be found.

Either way, a GT ragtop is extremely rare. The Endura nose is a nice feature but I don't think it's as important as the GT package. There is some literature that says the GT and the T41 nose were not...

Ragtops were MUCH rarer than the hardtops. You better get proof that it's a real GT first. What engine do you have?

I don't think we have the info for the cornering lamps. Even though the sheets go back to the previous year's for comparison, as there were no cornering lamps for 1970, there is nothing to compare.
