There are several sites out there with info on Trans Am cars, Barry's and Jeff's seem to be the most comprehensive but they do not have all built just all discovered. I think the count is up to around 1300 of each and includes what they know about the cars except private info but they will assist in putting people in touch when needed. Everyone that knows about them shares anything they find but there are some who do not know them so there is no doubt plenty more info yet to be discovered. Many of us take pictures of cars and tags across the country at every opportunity and send it in. There has also been several reunions that brings new information.
Careful, your character's showing!

I have heard of 5 JS23V0Bs with a scheduled production date of 730 so far.
I am sure more will surface with time. Were most of them N96 cars?

Keep in mind these cars where made for a very short period as just said. I think from mid March until mid April. mopargem... Another H4 bench seat AAR. My AAR is also a H4 bench seat car, but what is strange here is that your tag also has the bench seat code C65 and my tag does not. I had always thought that the fender tag on theses cars never got a bench seat tag code other than the H4. No C65 on my bench T/A either. Canadian car, SPD of 415.

Talk about fender tags and numbers. Does anybody here have any idea as to why there are only 3 T/A cars in the registry with the V02 two tone paint option and how that option came to be. Seems the same option was not available on the AAR cars which is strange because the V02 option was available on a plain jane 70 barracuda?? I have a story right from one of the men who worked a the Autodynamics shop that built the suspension for the T/A cars. Just curious if anyone else heard about this. I was trying to get hold of Sam Posey to verify my source from Autodynamics, but I know he is difficult to get hold of. My guess would be cost. You could get the same look for less money. The painted top was $31.05 and the vinyl top was $83.95 We had a famous 71 hemicuda that was out here that was black with painted white roof and a bench seat. Rumor is that it was ordered by a CHP officer Would like to hear your story.

My story is based on Autodynamics in Marblehead, Massachusetts who built the Sam Posey 77 car, which if you notice has a black painted top?? No AAR cars have painted tops or the option for it? My car appears to be a local bought car originally. Maybe the same dealer that handled the Sam Posey, body in white car sent from mother mopar to autodynamics to be built for Sam Posey.... There is nothing keeping an AAR from having a two tone paint job that I know of and it is listed as an option for Barracudas / 'cudas http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/SalesmansPocketGuides/1970/Pg%20032.jpgThe 77 car or a replica is over at Sears Point Raceway

When they did this, they sent a separate order request sheet to every dealer in the country that was eligible to pre-order an AAR or a T/A car. It was that sheet that called out which options the car could be ordered with. My understanding is that the T/A sheet had a V02 option code but the AAR sheet did not have the V02 option code, not to be confused with the option book which was for the general car lines, which is what you are looking at. It is also my understanding that in order to be elegible as a dealer to order these cars, you had to already have a certain sales volume, and higher volume dealers could order more units than the lower volume dealers, as the whole point was to get these cars out there. Now, the sales Pre-order sheets I am talking about were sent out to the dealers and they actually gave the dealers a cut off date in which they would not be able to place an order after that date. That was due to the fact that they planned on building these cars all within a few months. This is my understanding. Maybe Barry knows otherwise. Oh, I happen to have one of those T/A dealer pre-order sheets.

Story I read recently in one of the car mags states the reason for the black top. Posey's team got caught with an an acid-dipped roof. They had to hurry up and cut a roof off another Challenger and weld it on to theirs. Wasn't time to color-match the roof, so they painted it black.
