Several years back, I sold a WW out of a 70 T/A. The T/A was sold new in NC at a dealership in Asheboro. NC DMV did not show the title being transferred after about 1975, and the car was never registered again. The car was registered to a woman with a very common last name. I went by the last known address, and the houses had been torn down and replaced with a strip mall. The locals had all moved when the city began growing and commercial replaced residential. I wasn't able to find any information, other than the houses along there were mostly rental.
The car was taken off the road in the mid-70s, supposedly because it was wrecked. I bought the remaining parts from a guy in the late 80s. As best I could tell, the car was destroyed after the parts were salvaged.
Barry Martin at Sonic Motors also had a 70 T/A that I think was sold new in NC. I'm not sure what ever happened to that car.
There is a guy in western NC that has SD455 T/As and did a full restoration on a 70 Ram IV T/A.
That's about all of the Ram IV cars I personally know of.
Mike <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>The car that was restored in western NC. is originally from Watkins Glenn NY. It was at TA'nat. this summer and is a stunning restoration of a very original car . The 70 TA that Barry had was indeed from N.C. and after resto went to NY. it is also a very nice original car . I also know of 3 auto's that have just surfaced and I have documented each to be correct .. These cars have a great survival rate and I have now confirmed at least 35 to exist .
