Well one just sold and appeared at mcacn idk if anyone wants to share details?


I’m also looking for info on a car I looked at in the 80s 69 TA w a sun roof . Owner at that time (Canadian ) living in CT told me it was a IV. I was 14 or 15 so wouldn’t have known a IV from a III from a V at the time. ( Trust me I lost a V because of I that) anyway trying to track down info on this 69 TA just for nostalgias sake. Wondered where it went for many years. I’ve been told it’s a III and known but not sure if that correct. This particular predominantly Canadian neighborhood in CT had a lot of yenkos and super high ended super cars . Was a hot bed for gear heads.

That must be the Bird that Transamric sold to Telly - many years ago.

And now another owner has possession and displayed it at MCACN ?
Or is that assuming too much ?

Thanks for sharing your pictures with us.
Was the PHS on display also ?

Not assuming too much.
At least now it's a bit closer to "home"!

Yes, that is the one. Yes, the new owner (me) displayed it at MCACN. I didn't display the PHS but I did display the original window sticker.

I didn’t want to let the Cat out of the bag, just a light nudge w that post in case someone wanted to share.

Great car.

You’ll really enjoy it I’m sure .
Can’t get much (if any) better than a RAIV bird in my opinion
But I’m kinda partial to them for obvious reasons.

There aren't many around. It has been a long time bucket list car for me. I am very blessed to have the opportunity to be the caretaker of such a rare car.

Wow, that's pretty cool. I've often thought about that car over the years. I spent 1 year in Ft Wayne as a college freshman.

Looked at this one in Knoxville about 10/12 years ago. I believe it was bought by Tom S. here in the Atlanta area. Sorry for the awful photos.

[74SDformula]

A few more photos.

My original window sticker shows no 611 as it was included with the ra iv package. I'd say the dealer that added it to a ra iv car double dipped for a few extra bucks.
