1969 Trans Am Convert Clone

[sprchvy]

Thanks guys for the info. The car does have the steel RA hood and the stacked gauge assembly. The going price is right in the range that you specified. I have contact info for anybody that might be interested.

Well then they spent some money to make it a decent clone.

All 69' Trans Am's were RAIII or 1 of 55 RAIV's, so they all had ram air.
The standard gauge package is not the same as the vertical stacked gauge package, which was available on both birds & T/A's. 80% of T/A's have the vertical gauge set up. This was a transition gauge package between years 69-70. To buy one now complete is about $3500-$4000. I had 6 cyl 69' bird with a factory in dash tach! and it did not have vertical stacked gauges.
As far as GTO's there were 3 step up performance engines available the 400HO the 400RAIII and the 400RAIV. The 400HO is the same engine as the RAIII without ram air. Ratings were 360HP, 366HP, 370HP.
------------
I forgot about paint codes, Mike is right again as usual, paint codes on the trim tag is a good way as well. And of course PHS.

I have a PHS documented 69 T/A,it has std. interior,and no stcked guages.ALL T/As did not have the stacked guages.They were a option on all birds I believe.A friend has a set in his Sprint.

Gonzo, this is incorrect for the GTO. The only 400HO was the RAIII. It's correct for the Firebird but with different hp ratings.

The Trans Am should be thought of as being analogous to a Judge, for the most part.

I only have one of my Grandpa and Uncle on the showroom next to a 63 GP, it's posted somewhere and will see if I can find it.

Otherwise the building is still there, when I go down there next I'll try to remember to snap a shot.

Plenty of pics in my head of the place; inside and out, and back in the day with the hot cars all over the place. A shame we can't extract those memories!

LOL! I've often wished I had a USB port in the side of my head that could connect to a printer....

Thanks for posting -

This is the only one I have and the only one I know exist. There may be more from other relatives; but they have not admitted to having any.

[Steve_Hoog]

Never mind taking new pics.
