Looks like it's been at the bottom of a river.

WOW, I live in the Northeast and have never seen a car rust like that. It looks like it came out of a swamp.

I had an auto TA like that in 1994, rear fell out when we yanked it out of resting place. No WQ, or #9273 carb either.... on this one listed
There are a few wanted ads for a real 69 TA, have at it guys.....

For some reason I like it?
Does not look any worse then the old Ranger I had.



Patch it up and drive it.

“Oh this old thing? It is my Dad’s old winter beater that he bought new. My Prius is in the shop so I had to drive this wreck. I keep telling him to just scrap it”



Or some spray foam and Bondo – will fix anything

A true basket case. Best parts are gone or destroyed. Looks like the springs and shocks have gone through the trunk. This is where a body from Dynacorn would come in handy.

I am always amazed what people will pay for a tag and title... Did anyone see the passenger side door jam?

Amazing the door is even on the car. I added this to my watch list. Interested to see how much it goes for.

There were four of them near me that were rustier than this one. All four were sold to the same person, no idea who. Only one had it's original engine block. All four of those will need new bodies, no way to repair what was left. This is not one of them.

If you found a donor car and sunk $30K into it, it would probably be worth it. True it is a pile of junk, but if it comes back to life there will be one more 69 TA on the road.
