Default World Famous CATALOG CAR --- 1969 Trans Am for sale on HEMMINGS

https://www.hemmings.com/listing/196...ans-am-880644?

Jim Madison, President of the Pontiac Historical Society, put it best: “This car is, without a doubt, the best known, most photographed 1969 Trans Am in the world.” (this is documented in a letter from Mr. Madison himself to the owner of the car at the time)

Nice car. I now need to take a million photos of my cars and email them to Jim so he can write me a letter ;-)

Pretty pathetic that the Hemmings author can't even spell Jim's last name correctly.

This car should bring at least 200K. Usually 50K can be added by Providence ...

It has a '1' instead of '2', but have a record of that happening.
I figure the guy stamping didn't change it from chevy to Pontiac.
