Thumbs up Shields

Thanks Lloyd for reminding me. Good reading and info. I failed miserably at my attempt back then to get them reproduced. Met the wrong people and lost a bunch of money. Thanks to Barry at Sonic for getting the job done.

I now own Joe's old 72 HO Formula.

I'd still sure like to see some GM factory photos of a folded 71-early 72 heat shield.

At least they kept the original A/C unit for the next owner.

This is correct and has been covered here before. Standard interior cars moved to a common (and probably less expensive) armrest with Camaro around Feb '71 through the end of the model year. Custom trim cars continued to use the soft '70 style armrests. There is no definitive date for the change as it appears different colors ran out of old stock earlier than others.

There are a few things wrong with it, but the stance is perfect. You should add it to your collection.

How could you not?

If it's an auto I'm pretty sure I've driven it.

Ebay is like a 70-72 TA smorgasbord lately. There are currently seven such TA's listed with 6 white and 1 LB. Not sure if that is a good or bad indicator for strength in pricing, but it doesn't seem like many are selling at the elevated pricing.

I like the white one parked with BG SD 455. Would like to see more of the Super Duty.

In '70 all blue interior cars got blue belts (an oddity) all other color interiors with "base belts" got black belts. If you ordered deluxe belts, then they matched the interior color.

In '71 base belts were black and deluxe belts were color keyed.

sad that it is a true Trans Am, but I would love it and drive it like I stole it.
