This is an unmolested, #s matching, highly documented T/A! It has
original invoice, 2 build sheets, window sticker, warranty papers,
owner's manual and original fender tags. Sold new at St Ann Motors
in Missouri 9/5/70. It has had the same owner the last 20 years.
All original except 1 repaint! Very well preserved, maintained as
needed.
Why is a T/A so special? They were a very limited production, high
performance car based on Dodge's Trans Am race car. Only 1,411
automatics and 989 4-speeds were ever made. It was only a 1 year
production. It's not just a 340 car with a 6 pack and fancy decals
slapped on it. The engine blocks were actually unique to this car,
built stronger. It also has special heads, modified valve train and
3 holley carbs. The burnt fuel is let out through a low restriction
exhaust that exits in front of each rear tire. The rear tires are
taller to give clearance to the side exhaust which also gives the
car a cool stance. Other features include a Sure Grip rear,
Upgraded brakes with disc in front, rallye suspension, quick ratio
steering and performance tires on 15x7 wheels. It also features a
lightweight fiberglass hood in flat black to eliminate glare to the
driver with an air intake scoop and racing pins. Special stripes,
emblems, pop up gas cap, racing mirror, blacked out grill and a
dove tail spoiler make it look the part.
EXTERIOR: It looks like it has its original body panels. Original
non glare, lightweight fiberglass hood with racing pins and it fits
really well. It has original chin and dovetail spoilers. Optional
racing mirrors on each door. Repainted only one time, original high
impact Top Banana Yellow. The jambs are mostly original with
original weatherstrips and VIN sticker. Original chrome including
the flip top gas cap. Even the vinyl top is original. The glass is
all original. Rolling on 15 inch rallye wheels with staggered size
reproduction tires. They are F70s in front, taller G60s in back to
raise the car for the exhaust.
INTERIOR: This is an all original interior in really great,
unabused condition. The dash pad is original which means the VIN
tag has never been removed! The dash pad has no splits and it has
stereo speakers for the 8-track. Rare original vinyl and cloth
upholstery. All of the plastic trim looks great including door
panels and console. The carpet was replaced. The headliner and
visors look original and in excellent shape. Optional rallye dash
includes gauges, a tachometer and woodgrain. Interior light and
reverse light indicator work. The highlight of the interior is the
pistol grip shifter!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Original vin # matching high performance 340 6
pack. 340TA is cast right on the block, it is a unique block made
stronger for the T/A. On top is the original Edelbrock intake with
Holley 6-pack carbs being force fed through the ram air system. The
original distributor is included. This one has optional power
steering and power brakes. Overall, it looks very proper. Both
fender tags are originals. The VIN on the core support and cowl
match the car.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Clean metal painted yellow, new mat. Original
weatherstrip. It still has it's original collapsible spare with air
bottle and the jack assembly.
UNDERSIDE: It is very clean original condition, maintained as
needed. Original rust free floors and frame rails. Very unique side
exhaust with correct chrome tips. The fuel tank has been replaced.
It has disc brakes in front, e-brake is hooked up. Looking up at
the motor it is clean the VIN number stamped by the oil pan matches
the car. That same exact VIN number is also stamped on it's
original 4-speed trans. In back is the original 3.91 Sure Grip rear
end with it's original tag.
SERVICE: Our shop inspected the car and we gave it an oil change,
lowered the idle, adjusted the carbs and timing, replaced the fuel
pump and the diaphragms in the secondary carbs, tightened the
belts, replaced the water pump, cleaned the blower switch, replaced
a brake light and lubed the rear window regulator.
Highly desirable and collectable. First off these were awesome
high-performance cars. This is one of the best survivors I've seen.
The fact that it's a 4-speed with a great color, nice list of
options and it's so heavily documented makes this a blue-chip
investment.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
