TTA VIN's

Tony,
I wouldn't fret about the subframe connectors. When I first bought my car I didn't want to change anything that couldn't be brought back to absolutely stock. Later on I came to the realization that the SFC would help keep the car straight (or straighter) for the rest of its life. I had some South Side Machine SFC installed, welded in. If someone really wants them out they can feel free to grind away. If you want to drive the car, leave 'em be. Just my $.02. :cheers:

I looked at the TTA today and it's hard to say if it's a 75 or a 76 behind where the plate goes. It looks more like 76 to me but has anyone claimed either number yet?
There's a plaque on the radiator support with the numbers 07 0556 does that mean anything? The build date on the door sticker is 12/88 if that helps place it in the run. I have some other questions but I'll try to find the appropriate forum to post them in. I haven't bought the car yet we're still haggling the price right now!

Tony Curtis was on my Aircraft B-767 several years ago. It was his 80th birthday that day. He does like Trans Ams, owned a couple over the years and he served in the US Navy as a signalman; name....Bernard Schwartz.

Chris,
No worry, PHS never had totally accurate TTA info in the first place. Only PAS kept accurate records as they were the Manufacturer of Origin. Hence the "5" in our Vin#. Not to mention the window sticker. PHS made money on minimal data, with minimal accuracy.

well considering that PHS is the only source that we currently have for everyone to be able to base their car number off of it's going to be the most accurate source the community has. If you'd like to share the PAS numbers that you have feel free to help us out, or send me a copy and I would be more than willing to help everyone out.

Jared,
I do offer a very complete package of information on each of the TTA Production Vehicles. It is most importantly accurate and does require significant time to research the records and find everything available for a particular VIN. You may PM me to arrange for research to be conducted on your vehicle.
Regards,
Rich

What does a package like this cost a guy?

we've gone over this before, I have no interest in spending $500 for copies of the information that you have. It would be nice if you were like the rest of us who openly share any information that we have with the community at either the cost to us or even free but I doubt that will ever happen.

Jared,
I paid a considerable amount of money for this very special documentation. I more than willing to share anything and everything about a respective owner's TTA. I'm simply simply trying to recoup some of the funds that were expended. Again, it does take quite a bit of time to dig out all the information from the records. It may serve you well to give me a call if you are in the Atlanta area, so you may personally view my efforts to preserve the build history of these unique TTA's. You are always welcome, it may brighten your perspective.
Best regards,
Rich
I know i helped out on that list back in 99 or 2000 when i first purchased my 340 TTA, once i was hooked on the TTA's, i asked Chris Rowe on tb.com to start a TTA section and look how that site has grown over the years.
I too would like to see the list complete with current owners attached, that would make me feel better that everyone here is working together to get it done...
Has the list been updated since you posted?

So you imported a new one Uffe?
The build number is correct and was shipped to "Mcnamara Buick-Pontiac Inc
5184 Route 347 Port Jefferson Stati, NY" Built on 13 Feb 1989 .... :yes:

How do you know the build date??? I've always wondered about the exact build dates on my cars.
Naaaa... not imported a new one, this car is the one i helped Rico to find back in -02 and i bought it from him for a few mounths ago, it has subframe connectors and is hard as i rock in the chassie with adjustable koni schocks and racing springs.
Uffe
Glad to see you came back from the "dark side".
You gotta get that new toy on a road course.

That's what I thought hence me having the information for you in a old e-mail trail wiht Rico and the former owner I beleive.
Enjoy the "new" ride!

Those numbers match the "schedule\job" number on the build sheet. Not related to the build number at all.
