I was going back through the RPO codes and look what I found. My "monochrome" TA isn't a monochrome TA at all, but an original, black and gold two-tone TA! Words cannot describe the ecstasy I am feeling at this instant in time. I wanted a black and gold WS6 optioned TA, I settled for a monochrome black Y99 optioned TA. Then I discover that the TA actually is a WS6 car and is wearing the wrong wheels and tires. Now I discover that the TA was originally a black and gold TA and one of the previous owners painted the gold rocker panels black (and removed the "TRANS AM" name on the front, the square-dot-fade stripe around the car and the "PONTAC" emblem from the front driver's side headlight. I guess they were trying to "build" a GTA (which didn't appear until 1987).
How's that for luck?
Unbelievable... I now own, through a very strange set of circumstances, the very car I was looking for in the first place. Some (re)assembly required.
