Actually there were around 20- 69 ta's that came with the parchment interior and 2 of them were built at the Van Nuys plant ,one being a 4 speed and 1 a auto. Stripes over the spoiler and fender emblems are very common resto mistakes . Why are we so quick to criticize and doubt without knowing what we're talking about?

I would agree I was quick to criticize. But considering this was 1 of 14 from the VN plants I would have thought the people restoring it would have done their homework. Stripes over the spoiler I can understand. But the Fender Emblems really are a mistake no one should be making.

I can understand that but I have seen way to many that have the same mistake with the emblems ,so it isn't a big deal to me .I remember welding up the emblem holes on nos fenders I was putting on my ta convertible back in the early 80's
Installing the fender emblems and painting stripes over the spoiler is a common mistake thats made usally due to people looking at the adverisement pics from that era and also because of lack of research .
This still could be a great car and I like looking at it that way giving people the benefit of the doubt . But I could be wrong , its hard to say with the limited info and pics from the ad .

Personally, I wasn't criticizing the practice.... Just the debate I knew it would start. I'm sure this one will go over the block without even being noticed by the SPEED "experts" . Later they will do a full on conversation on a validity of a Yenko "Re-Creation Car".
