69 trans am

A few grand. It would be a cool restore project though.
Maybe. If the storage yard manager hadn't let it sit outside the past 10 years...
oke: ;-)
Might want to see if it's a real or made first.

My dad had one of those 600 made its a anniversary addition, fully restored they will be worth 100k, that car is worth at least 10k the way it sits as long its a matching #s.
WOW:beer:

LOL.......i just started...lol..and this is one of the reasons im here is to
get this place back on its feet:beer:
R u gona sell that car?
^ True story. 1969 was the first year the Trams Am package was available on the Firebird, it didn't sell well at all and thus there was an extremely limited production run. Hopefully its not a clone and has the original motor and trans, if it does you're one lucky sob lol :banana:
Where in FL Godfather?
If that's a true Trans Am and not a clone, even in it's condition it's worth at least $10,000.
Quite a bit more depending on it's option package. If that hood tach is factory, that may be a RAIV car in which case if it's still got motor/transmission that car is RARE with a huge capital R.
A restored RAIII TA just went for 90K at Mecum in Florida this past week. If that gives you some kind of idea on the potential value of that car.
I know you probably can't do this, but if you get a hold of the owner I would be highly interested in this vehicle.
I don't generally like factory restorations, but this would be something hard to pass up.
EDIT: After carefully reviewing the photos I think this car is clone. The blue although severely decayed is the wrong color and the taillight panel is white. Although it's hard to confirm, the vast majority of Trans AM's had the tail panel color matched to the stripes on the car from the factory.
Can you verify if that hood is steel?

wow i bet the rag tops are a kings ransom
yeah i was bored as hell and this caught my attention. so google it was.
FACT: While the hood tach was available as a dealer installed option, these were not offered from the factory, mostly I believe due to lack of room to the left of the large T/A scoops. (SIDE NOTE: A hood tach will fit to the side of the scoop but one of the mounting bolts will actually be under the hood hinge making it necessary to remove the hood from the hinge for installation
here's the link to the website it was on.
