A friend in our local Pontiac club may sell me his 1969 Trans Am. It has good documentation, but I have noticed there are a few small items that will need to be corrected in order to be of concours quality for judging, which is what I'd want to do. I'm a former NCRS guy, so go figure lol.

Anyway, we've discussed a price and I'm not looking to lower it based on the nitpicky details. BUT what I must do, simply out of due diligence, is go through it and verify all of the numbers and date codes on literally everything I can.

Where does one buy a 1969 Trans Am judging guide so that I can not only cross-reference all of the numbers, but also later use it to correct the inaccuracies, markings, etc.?

I've never played in the Pontiac arena at the concours level like I did in NCRS with my 56 Vette, so I'm not sure who the organizing body that judges these at big national events is to buy a guide from, or if it even exists in a similar form to NCRS.

FWIW, I'm far from a Pontiac novice and currently have a 1969 Firebird. But a car that's already been restored and at the price point of a real 69 Trans Am requires significant due diligence. I was, for a time, an NCRS judge for the 56/57 MY Corvettes, so I'm familiar with how top-flight judging works as well.

Thanks!
