Default Steele TAs sold at auction.
Thought they needed another thread for discussion...

Lots of options, but it's sitting way too high, and those rear bumper guards look out of place.

Chris, I had a chance to see Lingenfelter 71LB TA 4 speed. Rarer would be LB/Ivory 4 speed ?

Does sit high and wrong tires don't help. That interior is too white should have pearl in it. But, it's rare for sure. Under the hood some issues as well. All fixable if someone desired for a more correct look.

Lots of cool cars there- we were commenting on the bumper guards as well. My 72 had them on it when bought it and the look much better in the right spot. These almost look like an add on you would see on an export car
