Re: Found it,the needle in the haystack after 30 years.
My history teacher Mr. Wehbey had one of the 600 or so built.
I can still remember that he'd park that 69 right outside the class room window to keep an eye on it. I drooled when I first saw it.

The allure of the old muscle cars is still strong.

Re: Found it,the needle in the haystack after 30 years.
697 built of which 8 were convertibles. 55 Ram Air IV engines, 642 Ram Air III engines. So...if you have a 69 Trans Am Convertible Ram Air IV...your car would be a clone...because all of the convertibles had Ram Air III engines.
