Only 7 of those 8 are accounted for, 1 is still out there or has been crushed.

It always pays to look behind barns.

4 4-speeds, 4-auto.....Matt, what's the breakdown on top colors again?

There are 3 convertible 69 ta's with the blue top and 2 of those were 4speeds . One is still out there and has not surfaced in any Pontiac circles yet ,but good sources say it is in firm hands and not going anywhere soon. The other 5 cars are white top.3 cars came out of Canada.

Was one of the verts originally shipped to/sold out of the Seattle, WA area?
