Default Wow.... Sleezbay sale on a 69 TA, or is it?

This is a trainwreck waiting to happen.....


Ebay Link

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> LISTED AT NO RESERVE. A 1969 trans am automatic, one of 114 made, very rare parts car. For parts only, no title, vin #, or drive train. Many good parts. Please look at pictures , they pretty much tell the story. Has rear spoiler, back glass, 4 correct rallies, original T headlights, valance, fender wells, and many more good one year only parts. Was told this is a ram air iv car but with out a vin there is no way to prove it. The Vin on door has the last 2 digits scratched off. The Vin tag is missing. The hidden vin under heater is cut out. </div></div>

Looks like someone rebodied a TA and now this person has the original shell for sale......

If the VIN can be figued out, there could be TWO TA's out there with the same VIN....

I agree with you. I wonder what 69 Firebird has the VINS on it?

Most likely one of the big dollar numbers matching cars from BJ or Mecum

Could also be car that goes to shows or collection, maybe even a member. Can't always blame the auction house.

I would have repaired the original bdy if i stripped it out,
I would have cut up the rest ....I stripped out and cut up some rare cars years ago.....

I think I saw a discussion on this car a while back on some forum or another. Performance years, maybe.

Wow. Car doesn't even look that bad at all. Very savable. Whoever rebodied that isn't very smart.

Tag on the door has all but the last two digits? Should be awful easy to find what the complete # is... Jim Mattison could figure it out in about half an hour...and then, the poor sucker with the clone...that poor SOB...

Do '69 firebirds have the partial VIN stamped in the cowl area similar to '69 Camaros?

It looks like someone ground down the convin on the cowl, notice the rusty area? I am assuming that's what he meant by &quot;removed&quot; vins.





Wonder about the heater box con-vin?
