I agree. Also, original engine RAIV T/A! Can't be more than a handful of those still around.

I can't imagine that steering wheel is correct for that car. I assume it is but it sure doesn't look right to me.


Edit again: I stand corrected, it has come to my attention that the steering wheel was definitely an option/available on a '69 Trans Am. Thank you to those who brought this to my attention

Per Rocky Rotella’s “Definitive Firebird and Trans Am Guide 1967-1969” the Forumula steering wheel was in development all during 1969 but not released until September ‘69.

Idk but I know there’s only 1 of these . :-)
And I love her ! Me and this baby been through a ton of racing together at tracks all over the place.
So happy I was one of the few people to get to drag race one of these before they went to full on trailer queen status

Edit: just did a Google search and that is definitely not the correct wheel.
You and Google are incorrect.

I had a 69 RA4 TA automatic, matching #'s very rare, i still have a copy of my NY regi and original build sheet, it states formula wheel, and the rarest part of the wheel was the horn emblem! it was a amfm / deluxe interior. Sold it after a bad resto, plus when it was media blasted it looked like the quarters were in a machine gun fight! sold about 2006, who knows but every car I bought I drove and purchased because I wanted it and knew they were special, not as an investment, now i am much older and still crazy!!

YES, That was the first car the Formula Wheel was available on. Not available on any TA until September is correct.
The early 2 page advertisement showed a car with the MOMO wheel on it while they were still developing this wheel. Lots of history in the wheel development.
