Gotcha, Bob!
I have your numbers for some reason, so I just thought maybe you had mine. Anyway, you have mail.

HO Question, I know the experts will know....
What is a rectangular heat shield looking part? Starter shield? I went to get the exhaust manifold heat riser shield from the seller of the HO top end I just got and he couldn't find that part, but he did give me this rectangular heat shield looking part, he wasn't sure what it did, he thought maybe a starter shield?

sounds like the inner preheat shroud that goes under the drivers side exhaust manifold on RA manifold cars. Tried to post a pic but can't so here is an eBay link with a pic:

I was watching that 133 for the Formula but that got out of hand real quick! I'll get by with a points distributor for now!

Yeah, wow....... something, umm, fishy about that ad...... The car isn't moved, does it even start? Two pics? Why pics of other dirty cars???? To make you drool for future dirty unmoved car auctions? There is something pschotic or fraudulent going on..... BUT, am I seeing 14 honeycombs on the Formula?

The Judge is owned by a member here and those are Orange (As in University ofTennessee, Go Big Orange!, I wish I was on top of Old Rocky Top!) fuzzy dice. As a former student of that fine higher education facility, I think those dice are a very nice touch, thank you very much!! Hint: Note the colors of my two vehicles shown herein!
And, I'm with you fellers on the dusty cars - I hate to see cars stored like that! But a column-shift T/A would be a nice addition to a collection. BJ

Yes, it seems the column-shift oddity has become a "desirable rarity" of late. I am not sure how anyone could document the number of column-shift TAs built other than estimating based on option percentages.....
The first time I saw an early second-gen column-shift car was in about '77. It was a White 71 TA for sale (painted black, and rusty already) with blue interior. I saw the column shift and about fell over! I have always assumed that no one ordering a TA or Formula ever intended to get a column-shift, rather someone just screwed up and forgot to order a console too! I should rephrase that...most never intended to get a column-shift. I met a gentleman at the TA Nats last year with an original-owner '71 TA 0-option car. He had the blank PHS proudly displayed. If I recall the story correctly he ordered the car to be a drag car, and he preferred a column-shift to floor mounted automatic. |

If I remember right, that factory red '72 TA is a column shift automatic.
