"How do the numbers fall out? 54 built, approximately half are known to exist including 8 of the 9 automatics. So out of 27 (approx) cars, 19 4spds, maybe half of which are running/driving cars and maybe half again that are numbers matching? Does anybody (Matt?) know the actual numbers?

I don't think this car still sits at the top of what is a very small heap. JMHO"

Good question/point Boss. I'm not sure we know for certain. This is what I am aware of...

My IV TA has its matching drivetrain and I believe roundportponcho's IV is matching as well. Both are fully restored.

I believe Garys D's and Rob L's examples are matching too. I also know of another in the NE that is matching.

All 5 of these 69 RA IV TAs are 4speeds.

I also know of 10 other 69 RA IV TA's scattered about (ie 15 in all). A few are autos and the rest are 4speeds. Each of these 10 have either SR blocks or some other replacement motor.

To my knowledge, I am only aware of two fully restored matching numbers 69 RA IV TA 4speeds.

And before the Pontiac/PY police flips out.... I am -sure- a few other matching numbers, restored 4speed examples -out of the ~35 4speeds not specifically accounted for above- exist (and may even be identified later here in this thread). I'm just listing what I know.

In any case, Bosssman is right. The list is a very short one especially when it comes to matching numbers examples that still exist...
