One of the 8 convertibles, or more likely a clone?

Are clones worth this much?

My bet is a clone. The last REAL Trans Am convertible I saw sold was in excess of $100,000.

Looks like you could probably save that flasher and plug it into a new GTO and call it restored!

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
