My old '73 TA came from that dealer. What's in Aberdeen, SD that drove the sales of these cars?

[johnta1]

HFR, do you know where 997 'dealer' is?

Did it sit there until it was shipped in 1970?

[Held for Ransom]

It was a zone car. Hard to say where it was sitting or what it was used for before being sold to the dealer.

I would rather have that one of one ra4 with the white deluxe. BTW how do you know these #'s? A local guy had one with white deluxe in the late 80's that was from New Mexico.

Is it possible that some of the original owners had the stripes added by the dealer? The reason I'm asking is because mine had the stripes under the three different coates of paint applied over the years. At one time my car was black, and another someone painted it red, but under all that paint was the original worn out paint. If someone saw that add and liked it, it is possible that is what started this stripe over the wing debate. When I restored my car in 1985 the stripes went back on the wing, right or wrong that's probably the way the original owner had it. By the way, mine has the standard parchment interior.

[Tellyshavilli]

No stripes on wing . Over the years when cars were repainted they were put over spoiler or whatever and then later owners will come up with whatever stories to justify their cars being original .

[azbirds]

I'm not saying it was original, and I know they didn't come that way. What I was saying is: If I was the original purchaser of a T/A and had seen the add, and liked the way it looked I could have asked the dealership to put it on the car for me, and for the right amount of money they would have. With that said, it would have been possible to see stripes on the wing as far back as 1969.

Muscle Collector has said a couple of times that he has owned two original paint cars with stripes over the wing.....not agreeing, just sayin.

I have one of the three black deluxe interior cars.
Does it really matter or affect value?
I could see where the "odd" colors (red, green, or gold) might.
Where are the blue vinyl top cars? And how were they optioned?

One of those was advertised on this forum (and I think elsewhere) a couple years ago.
