A clone done nicely is worth that, especially a convertible.

A real one will sell for $1M+ fully restored.

I have a 69 clone hardtop that is just in okay shape and have been offered pretty decent money for it. They are attractive cars that even non pontiac people like.

Side note- I have always been torn on the hood tach on this hood. I love the hood tach and have them on all of my GTO’s but for some reason I don’t think a 69 TA hood leaves enough room for it

The way it is listed "69 firebird w/Trans Am" pretty much tells me it is a clone. That and the neighborhood.
I read it as '69 Firebird with TransAm parts added.

I have seen a lot of real '69 Trans Ams and I have not seen a hood tach on any of them. All that I have seen have the in-dash tach with the stacked gauges.

Formula steering wheel, gauges, snowflake rims, spoiler, mean 77-78 nose, how can one go too wrong at this price? You MUST like Sky Blue! Different drummer car, or a great base for a build car, which to you? This is 2 hours south of me.

I went to college with a guy who bought one of those Skybirds new when we graduated. He always was different.
