Always nice to see these cars getting the respect they deserve .

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

As I recall , that wheel was an Option on the trans am. I’m
Mainly more info RAIV birds myself because of the colors but have seen that wheel in other 69 trans ams

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.

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.
