Backyard find, 1970 T/A RAIII

[scuncio]

Neat car - and definitely the coastal rust pattern I used to see when I lived in Santa Barbara.

Thanks for sharing the find with us.
Never knew California could do that to a car.
Terrible shame it had to happen.

The 70 TA's from VanNuys plant usually have a build sheet in the rear seat springs.
He can save himself the PHS money if he gets that.

These cars pretty much document themselves anyhow when found like this.
7040570 WN Cali emission carb
cast iron intake
#12 heads
big RA exhaust manifolds
VIN on block and trans
VanNuys may have stamped VIN up higher on the block face closer to the passenger head - than the typical area alongside timing cover.
Fremont did that - fwiw.

Never seen one with power locks that didn't have power windows also.

The JW's were probably stolen.
