This a 69 ta convertible that I dragged back from New Orleans in 1982 . Here it is in the garage in New Orleans , before we bolted it back together and loaded it on the trailer . The engine in the car is a 1973 SD 455 ZJ complete motor with long branch ra iv ex. manifolds on it . The next picture is a couple months later with the ra iii back in it and then took it to the POCI meet in Niagara Falls .

So is that a real 69 t/a convertible ?

Those exhaust manifolds were a pretty darn rare bit of kit all by themselves....

Hard to believe at the time to . A 4 speed 73 SD engine in a orig. ta convertible with the round port long branch manifolds . It was a nice trip !
