I was really ready to hit the 'Buy it now' button because I thought it said $55,000 at first glance. Then my eyes bugged out.
Nice car. I'll have to keep an eye on it to see what happens.
Wonder what the reserve is?

This is the rarest of all Trans Ams in the world being a Ram Air 5 wouldnt a 69 TA convertible be more "valuable" ? only 8 made...agreed the RAV is rare ,but with the combo of a coupe? guess its "rare" vs "Valuable"...?

Probably $500. The crossram parts are easily worth 20k

Probably just a RA III from the factory. He says they put the V in at the proving grounds. Which would be very hard to document. Without documentation it's just a 'non original' TA. I think you could knock off a zero(50k). Then add for whatever drive train that's in it.....

I don't know, with the extra Bias Ply tires I think it's a bargain.
Hope he's got the distributor to go with the cross ram intake, useless without it. Some guy on PY is looking for one, I think all those post and listings are related.
Lots of bids on the intake.
Only thing I see from these type listings is it lets the public know when a rare car is on the market. No way does he think he'll sell it on E-bay, just fishing for a buyer. Obviously doesn't want to go to auction for some reason.

I saw a feature on a '69 GTO Ram V on 'American Muscle Cars (W. Dennis Gage) -Only it was installed by the owner.. -and had the only-ever-made tach w. shift light (green-Yellow-Red)..
Maybe it was fake.. -don't know -don't care .. -it was a very nice car.. -And so is this one going to be..

You'd think that for a $.5M car they could use a camera that would take a close up.

If I hadn't blown all my money in Naples FLA this past weekend I'd make an offer!

Hmmm. Why E-pay? I'm with Vikki, if there wasn't something to hide, this would have been a hallmark car at a BJ auction.
2012 Mustang Boss 302 #1918, Competition Orange. FGF replacement
2006 Mustang V6 Pony, Vista Blue. Factory ordered.
2019 BMW X3 (Titled to the wife, but I'm always driving it for her. So I'm claiming it)
Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.
1980 Turbo Trans Am
1970 Mustang fastback, 351C 4Bbl, auto
1988 Mustang GT, 5 speed
1983 F-150 4x4, built 302
1994 Chevy K2500 HD 4x4, 454 TBI

Sure is a trivial ad for a $1/2 million car.

I don't think he's trying to sell it on e-pay, but it's a fairly cheap way to get national exposure for a high end car going on the market. If someone is interested, for that much coin they don't care what pics are shown, they're going to go look at it. He doesn't have to put much effort into the ebay ad, so why bother? BJ cost to much and is no reserve, Mecum or Steele would take some effort to get it ready, if he can sell for his price without effort, why wouldn't you? Besides, no matter how much he showed or documented, someone will always put it down as incorrect, not this, not that. Only way to know is go look at it and see his documentation, and at 1/2 mil you bet I would.

I believe that the car would be worth more with it's original drive train.... And that would be about $100-150K depending on the quality of the restoration. The only way he's going to come close to his objective of half a mill is exactly where it's at. In a vacuum of dis-information without formal documentation and objective opinions presented.. So he's got it in the right place..  He wouldn't get away with all the BS at BJ...

Jim, that car is in Geneva per the E-bay ad. It'd be fun to take a peak at it.
