Dave was from around the Chicago area, but I lost track of him about 1997. He owned many rare Pontiacs, including a 1969 Trans Am that ended up in books, posters, etc. back in the 1980's. He loaded that Trans Am with virtually every available option (using all NOS parts) back in the 1980's, including power windows, rear defog, 8-track, tilt wheel, cruise, power antenna, and the seldom seen AM/FM Stereo 4-speaker radio.

Dave Doern, have not heard that name in awhile. I met him in the 80's when he was president of ,I believe, the local POCI chapter. He sourced me, from butler autoparts, 2 htp rear quarters for my 71 lemans sport convertible. He took me to a storage building in Skokie where he had some COOL stuff. The 2 I remember most were a 1985 black trans am (think kitt) with a factory aquired SD 455 in the engine bay. It fit like factory right down to the stickers on the cowl. He said a connection at Pontiac got him the original block.He also said that car was stupid fast with a wicked top end because of the 5 speed in the modern TA.
The other car was an olds, that he said was built for the head of olds or his wife. Anyway it was a sweet factory 442...................wagon!
Neat guy, I would love to know what happened to him and his cars.
On the TA sounds like a good one. Get a fresh PHS and while other stuff would be great, that is all you need.
Hope you get it........I got one.
