Has to be one of the more unmolested '72 TA survivors out there - still owned by the guy who bought it new. The aftermarket air is a bit of a bummer but shouldn't be terribly tough to remove. Sounds like there is plenty of paperwork including 1970s-era receipts for new GM parts.

Being as how the TA is in NM -- A/C isn't a bad idea if you want to enjoy the car year round ...

That build sheet is beautiful.

That's a pretty cool T/A. Too bad somebody attacked the underside with a black rattle can and changed so much underhood; that eats into its "survivor" status. The two flares per wheel was a semi-popular (if ill-advised) modification on 70s Trans Ams unfortunately. Car was obviously loved though, so kudos to the family.

I like the body number mistake on the build sheet, assembly line caught the error.

Might have been "cut out/cut in", meaning removed from the line during it's original sequence and reinserted later, for some reason (extended repair, missing major component or something).

I like the trailer hitch. A matching Glastron Carlson would look great behind the car.

At 69k I think they are dreaming though.

Under the Bonnet has been Raped. Who de-snorkels an air cleaner?
I get the AC, I got a buddy with a 70, he gets out with pit stains when he drives it. Lol.

Nice car , but Survivor?
Paint didn’t survive ( molded wheel flares ruined that )
Interior didn’t survive ( dash cracked , seat split)
Engine parts changed but still there so maybe
Tranny bellhousing painted black
Still a nice car that can be made right but will need painted and original interior parts

They need to drop the opening bid down to 35k and hope it gets to 40.
