The most important part of the 69 Trans Am was the its road gripping suspension. the special 1" sway bar on the front, mated to special springs and shocks front and rear. A 3:55 HD 10 bolt Posi, rounded out the back end and a special varible ratio steering box, enabled it to turn like on rails. These were truely a blast to drive. The Camaro doesn't even come close in the ride and handleing dept. There were also a few built with a Blue vinyl top, and even more wierd, one with a green interior, and a couple in red, . Black was also avaiable, so they are not all blue inside. This summer I looked at a yellow 69 bird race car for sale , it had a real rear spoiler, a aftermarket hotrod hood on the out side. Upon closer inspection it had disc, A/C P/S multileaf, and what was originally a blue interior dyed black. It was a 50 50 blue int car with real spoiler. PHS docs confirmed it was a very optioned Firebird in the right colors, so the Hunt goes on!.
