Default 72 TA Survivor

I have lurked on this forum for a long time, thought you guys would like to see some pictures of a 72 survivor TA from Texas. * 38k original miles * two owner in one family.
Parts replaced are the A/C compressor, alternator, master cylinder, muffler, and the bird on the nose. The drive train has never been out of the car; it runs and stops great, all *original* interior, paint, and decals. I found this car about 3 years ago, my heart almost stopped when the guy raised the garage door and I realized it was a real survivor in great shape!!!

Enjoy

more pics to come (wish i could upload higher rez pics)

Wow, great looking car - nice find!

Looks like you've got the cloth interior option (with the cloth inserts on the seats and door panels)? That's something you don't see too often on these.

blue71ta - yes it has an interior like i've never seen. the inserts in the seats and doors are a very soft cloth. i did some research and found that the cloth is called "potomac", it must be a very rare option.

The Potomac Cloth seat inserts and door panels are VERY rare indeed. Don't have access to the numbers, but VERY few T/A's were so ordered.

i have noticed throughout my various cars dealings that the black seats hold up better that blue, white....etc. and yours look real nice. you must have the YB block if equipped with unit dist. can you take any pics of the carb area showing the various surrounding vacuum lines, this has to be done with the air cleaner off of course. thanks

yes i do - i had heard about the car and went looking for it, took some asking around but i found it. the guy that owned it was not a "pontiac guy", the car was his father-in-law's car so his wife wanted to keep it. she had died about a year before i found the car and the guy was ready to let it go.
