Having owned a complete numbers matching 69 Trans Am 4 speed car I would like to make a few comments. The 69 T/A did not come standard with a Rally Gauge package and clock, these were options. Rally Gauges did not become standard until 1970.What did come standard was power steering and brakes.They also had a power steering oil cooler that mounted on top of the core support just in front of the fan shroud which was notched to acommodate the mounting clips. The standard engine was the RA III. The TA had functional air extractors on the fenders as well as a unique hood and ram air pan set up. They also came standard with a wood wheel in the early cars and the formula wheel superceded this later in the production run. Ram Air birds and TA's had long branch ram air exhaust manifolds.If you ordered an indash tach and gauges the tach took the place of the Rally gauges and you then got the stack gauge set up. My TA was in building T at last years GM Carlisle event. These cars run and handle very well.
