One of a kind is often overused, but in this case it is entirely appropriate. In 1969, only 8 - factory Trans Am convertibles were produced. This car began life as a 1969 Firebird convertible before being transformed by a highly skilled builder into something truly special. Today, all 8 - original factory cars are believed to still exist and, when rarely offered, command prices in the $1-1.5 million dollar range.
This car is best described as number 9, built to capture the spirit and appearance of the original cars while incorporating modern performance and reliability. Power comes from a 2006 Pontiac GTO sourced 6.0 litre LS2 engine, a proven and highly respected platform. Paired with it is a Tremec T56 six speed manual transmission from the same donor vehicle, delivering a refined and engaging driving experience that blends classic muscle car character with modern capability. Close the hood, this 69’ Trans Am looks like one of the 8 rarest convertibles on the planet. Additional upgrades include headers and a K & N carbon fiber air intake system. Late model factory air conditioning components are present, though not connected, as the previous owner chose to not use, considering the convertible nature of the car.
The interior presents as factory correct and stock in appearance. It looks and feels new, including the convertible top, which shows beautifully. The original AM radio remains in the dash, preserving the authentic 1969 look and feel.
The body and paint are exceptional and central to the uniqueness of this build. Finished to accurately replicate a 1969 Trans Am convertible, the fit, finish, and overall presentation are outstanding. It captures the visual presence of the legendary factory cars while benefiting from a far more modern and reliable drivetrain.
For the enthusiast who has always admired the ultra rare 1969 Trans Am convertibles, this represents a rare opportunity to own a faithful tribute with enhanced drivability and performance. Opportunities like this do not come along often, and this example stands ready for a discerning new owner. Canadian tax is not applicable.
