Re: Value question - 1969 Trans Am
Dave's car was used during the 1980's whenever someone needed a photo of a 69 Trans Am. Unfortunately, Dave mistakenly had the white rubber gaskets, that go behind the headlight surrounds, painted white instead of leaving them black. Other than the incorrect white rubber gaskets behind the headlights, Dave's car used to be easily identified because he had those short-lived Goodyear Wingfoot tires (from around 1980) that had a white pinstripe.
I took photos of his car at a cruise night a long time ago, I'll see if I can dig them up. I believe he also had a 3-spoke Trans Am style steering wheel (but not factory), and a 1970 style dome light that used double switches/target style lights.
His car appeared in some books back in the 1980's, and on this poster (attached). You can see the Chicago skyline behind Dave's car...
Dave also had a 1989 Turbo Trans Am Pace Car, one of the cars that actually paced the Indy 500, with strobe lights, etc. He also had a 1994 Trans Am 25th Anniversary Firehawk Convertible, I believe the only one made.
