Hey man were there any T/As in 95 with the 1le suspension? Because I could have swore that my car had that option on it. It was loaded with suspension pieces, much more than my hawk.

Get your friend to take pictures of the car inside and out and I'd be happy to feature it on my website with an article written by him (and edited by me to fit the format of how I want it) telling how he went about getting the car and the history of it. I don't particularly care about a mod list if he has modified it, but if he wants it on there, then he can send that too. Tell him to make sure to take a picture of the RPO code sticker, otherwise there's no proof it's the 1 of 1, and I won't feature it without proof.

A picture from the day he bought it would be very good if he can provide that in addition to some of his favorite more current pictures.

He's the original owner, so it's his story about buying it. Feel free to make it personal.

NO '95 T/A 1LEs...Formula ONLY...and ONLY 2, total...


"Camaro SS 1LE with Automatic 1 Unit!

That's an OPTION (MX0) bias, NOT a total 1LE option COUNT...

The 99 will have 1LE in the RPOs. In 00 or 01 it became an SLP option and no longer an RPO.

I like your style.

1969 Production Numbers

Style Qty. Built
2-dr Coupe 74,673
2-dr Convertible 11,641
Trans AM Coupe 689
Trans AM Convertible 8

I would love to have one of the 8 1969 Trans Am converts.

1LE indeed stopped being as special in 2000. In '99, it was still a special Z28/SS.

Gotta love that crank window and stripper stereo (no tweeter in the door). Is that a non-tilting steering column in the 1LE? Glad to see it still has the SOTL.

It was 3, 2 of them have been accounted for and still exist. If your talking rare TTA's the rarest is the Turbo TA with the GM notchback fiberglass rear hatch that only came on '88 GTAs. They were going to offer it for 89 but scrapped it. There are pics floating around of one of the early TTAs with this hatch on it. Nobody knows were it went though.

Had a friend just return from Pigeon Forge TN. He says in a car museum around there was a 1stGen Z28 - all aluminum panels (hood, fenders, doors, tunk etc..) and an all aluminum 302 motor. 1 of 3 built for Penske but never raced.

Anyone have any information about these?
