I love the '69 TA's myself, but I doubt I'll ever be able to afford one. This car looks good but I'd have to agree that the red floor pans are rather ugly, I wonder if they were trying to make it look like red oxide primer? Also for a car over $60,000 they could at least put the heater wire grommet in the firewall and replace the PCV valve in the passenger valve cover with the correvt vent tube.

His note about 520 built with automatic is incorrect. I think it was 114 cars with M40 THM.

didnt really take the time to pick it over as the red belly did me in for further examination.
Glenn do you think this was one of the cars you saw many years ago in Ga? I think the guy had 3 of them at time and one was an auto a/c car.

That late of a build date also had the Formula wheel. The red oxide primer was only used on the 70 up Norwood cars.

I got blasted last time I picked a car apart - figured I'd let you guys do it this time.

Quite a bit for such a rare and no doubt expensive car.

Automatics had the 3.23 rear axle, which did NOT receive a PS cooler. Cooler was installed with 3.36 and numerically higher axle ratios.

Guy I went to see then (new years day 1986 I think) was in Savannah, only had ONE TA, but also had a nice 350 convert, Carousel/Parchment/White. I passed on the TA which was an AC 4-speed car with no engine, idiot lights & blue std interior. Price was $3500; I wanted a Custom trim gauge car then. Hood was wrinkled at the tip and he claimed the car had been running a Ram Air V. Don't even recall if he ran the car with the RAV or a previous owner had done so.

I did see an auto/AC car with idiot lights & std interior in southern new Jersey but we were not collecting VINs back then. I stopped to see it while driving to NY for Christmas one year, also mid 80s. Can't recall the guy's name.

The guy in Georgia you may be thinking of was a guy in Atlanta area who had three clone TA convertibles for sale in Hemmings around the mid-80s, one of which was the car built here in Orlando, Don Miller's car previously (which was a 40-B car with black std interior, but a real 400 car supposedly, maybe even a 400HO car). Never hooked up with him.

Don did 2 cars that were fakes made from a real hardtop that was rusty.Sad part was one of the cars was a true 400HO convertible.

Wife and I stopped in and saw this guys collection sometime back. If I recall I saw some paper signs by the roadside that said Musclecar shroom or something. I arrived and it was a buisness space that housed about 15 cars and 60's 70's period stuff. One thing I did notice that he had stacks of Year One catalogs that he was asking $5.00 for. I dont recall the guy being very friendly..I split pretty quick.

I stopped by about a year ago (saw the same roadside signs). Didn't have too much time to spend there, but there were about 30 cars (3 69 T/A's, 2-3 70-71's, few GTO's) nice mix of cars including including Yenko Camaro and GT 350.

As stated, didn't get to spend too much time in there, but he did give me 2 Year One catalogs for free!
