beautiful car big moe. (like all your others ) I might have missed it, but did it still have the hood on it when you got it? if not where did you find one that didn't have the removeable scoops (if that's what I remember correctly wasn't it a fiberglass one piece ???? )

Not surprised. All 69 TA's came with white wall F70 X 14 Wide Oval tires as it was part of the TA package.

Harold,
here is a pic from the show. Not the best as there were a lot of people around, but you get the idea.

What a truly awesome weekend! The car was a star! I couldn't be happier. Thanks to all you guys that stopped by to stay hello it always is great to put a face to a name. This show is the best and Bob Ashton and his crew do a fantastic job. Lots of magazines and TV shows came by to get a look at the car. This just one....I will post pics. too

Amazing piece of Pontiac history right there - I'll post up a few pics later from the show.

Great meeting you Curt and with all that you had going on - thank you for being such a wonderful host and for showing me so much of the work and the details - I appreciate the time you spent with me on it! Chris

Got a priceless piece of Pontiac history too!

Unless you got a big offer this weekend. Lots of the million dollar spenders go there to collect some trophies for their collections.

Another car you had to see to believe - I was stunned by it as I approached. It sets the bar in 1st-Gen restorations.

Gorgeous. I now wish it had been possible to get a '69 T/A from the factory in silver with white wall tires and no stripes
