I agree completely. There is no question that many folks drove away with what they thought was a new and complete 1969 TA from the dealership, but the car never really got all the approved and endorsed options prior to delivery. There were several TA packages offered. Much of that was based on folks making last-minute decisions at the dealership, as well as availibility of components.
