I noticed the PHS does not bill the 455-HO engine on the invoice. Was this because it was standard on the T/A option?

Interesting, thanks for heads up!
added pertinent details to my monster list.

Just an oddity, but the VIN # '72 Bird one digit lower, is also a:
white T/A,
auto,
blue cstm interior,
a/c,
unit ignition

The Last digit (0) of the engine vin number looks funky.

My 72 TA was built a week before this one and the two 0's stamped on the original block look like little o's on mine too. One is up top like it was a 9 and one is down low like it was a 6. Not sure why this happened but it's not the first time I've seen it either.

Default $55HO Banner - Thanks PB

Pat - I finally got my banner up on the wall and I gave it a place of prominence. It looks great (in fact it looks a lot like your demo photo art below) and the quality is fantastic. Thanks for your efforts and dedication to the cause.

Ill post up a pic when I get them in. Ill have some for sale if anyone is interested. Let e know what ya think.

Beautiful car! Probably one of the last '72 blue T/A's built before the strike and it has 2 build sheets! Looks like it shipped out on April 4th.

2 things, 1 a question and 1 a statment.
weren't the screens inside the side vents suppose to be black, or was there a change along the line?
i would have fixed the missing sway bar bolt and put the rubber back in. only thing that really jumps out at me.

I spotted the rear sway bar bolt out.....

This car SHOULD have trim rings...but I understand wanting to show off those expensive wheels....

Also,notice the later style front seatbelts with retractors......and plastic covers over the shoulder straps...(thought that was an "after strike" deal?)

Yes...black. Based on my observations, these screens were originally black phosphate. I believe the screening itself was plated prior to being cut for these vents. Original, untouched 70-71 TAs I have observed seem to have had these vent screens dip painted black over the black phosphate prior to being glued in as the paint looked thick a gloppy on the screens. Mine were like that as well. I actually separated the screens from my vents to paint them and where the glue took that thick paint off, it was easy to see the phosphate plating. Original 73-74 cars I have seen did not have the thick black paint, just the black phosphate. I have not seen an original 72 so I don't know when this process changed. Late 70s TAs had body colored screens. Not sure what year they started that.

FWIW, that screening is the same screening used for the formula ram air hoods. Again, I believe the screening was plated prior to being cut and bent into shape for the scoop openings. I don't think it was ever painted for this application however.
