The trunk torsion rods are reproduced. So that is no longer a valid "test".
That car was built in October 1968 in Lordstown Ohio, 6 months before Trans Ams could be ordered. That alone ensures the car is not a T/A, but it was built in the same timeframe as Jim's, mine, and Tom D's cars.
Quote:
As it turns out, not all of the special equipment listed became part of the RPO Trans AM package. Some ended up as separate RPO's and others as service options. The spoiler equipment was listed as a separate option (RPO D80) and referred to in the handout as auxiliary "aerodynamic" body panels. For 1969, it appeared in the Firebird brochure as optional equipment available on all Firebird models and, later in the year became a part of the Trans Am package.
Very interesting...is there more info available from this source?
