You are right. I had a senior moment. I should have said it was NOT a GTO panel.
Thanks for the correction

It is a Tempest tail panel - they had more ribs than the LeMans / GTO tail panel.

Would you pay 45K for a 66 Tempest? https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/c...820826377.html

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.

A clone done nicely is worth that, especially a convertible.

A real one will sell for $1M+ fully restored.

I have a 69 clone hardtop that is just in okay shape and have been offered pretty decent money for it. They are attractive cars that even non pontiac people like.

Side note- I have always been torn on the hood tach on this hood. I love the hood tach and have them on all of my GTO’s but for some reason I don’t think a 69 TA hood leaves enough room for it

I have seen a lot of real '69 Trans Ams and I have not seen a hood tach on any of them. All that I have seen have the in-dash tach with the stacked gauges.
