TA's have air extractors in the front fenders.

GTA's do not have them.

This car is a TA, and I like it.

This seller isn't very creative. It is obvious he has asked himself questions and posted them on the auction. I am sure the shill bids will be placed before the auction ends.

The A/C system is a 70-73 style, never came on a 74 like that.

I think this car is a stretch to call a survivor, more like a typical driver for the miles it shows. The rebuilt and repainted engine pretty much kills it's survivor status as well.

Yes, it does look good on a red car.

I think Pontiac was right in not making the dash bright red, just too bright.
