I drove the car and it was extremely nice; but Dave is a compulsive liar, and I hope he never gets his flea ridden perverted *** out of jail.

Something never added up on the story Dave was giving even back at that point; I could smell a rat. Approximately 10 years later he was buying cars up here in Tulsa at the dealership I work at; and he started to tell the story of the 69 TA to a salesman, as I overheard the story some key points had changed in 10 years and I was like WTH. It shouldn’t have been a surprise to me; but I was shocked to now hear the blatant proof of his compulsive lying.

So the bottom line is; it’s a very nice car but God only knows what the truth is about it. It has been told that the engine was restamped; and that was probably passed along by the person that did it, no names will be mentioned on my part.
Good info. The guy sounds like a real piece of s it. Anyway if that motor was out and restamped then thats the best stamper made to look original motor I have seen. As for the paint on the car, I'm not suprised its had some paint work and I dont think anyone has claimed that its 100% original paint. I would agree with you that its a very nice car and probable the best RA4 ta out there.
