Thanks 4 sharing! ;)
I was also looking at the ad.
"Driver-condition" EB5/EB5/H6X9 AAR Cuda! I like it! :yes:
She's purdy!
Ticks a lot of the right boxes :bigthumb:
That'll be a fun one, to keep an eye on, for sure.
cool car !! :bigthumb:
Practically almost in my backyard
Where in California is it? Might be interested in a drive to check it out.
Nice, a lot better than the average AAR with a cyclops dash and fluid drive.
San Leandro is right next to Oakland.
On the other side of the Bridge is this AAR...

My apologies in advance for deviating from the discussion . I have a question for the AAR / TA experts.
Any Idea as to why the factory used 2 types of fender installation hardware on these models ?
Reason I ask is ...over the years I have seen many with fenders that've been attached using studs and nuts . Seems like this is a J-code phenomena.
I'm thinking regular fender bolts were in short supply at time of manufacture.
There actually was a recent thread or someone adding to an existing thread on the fender hardware. I searched, but I can't find it. I might be forgetting, because my memory is fading, but I thought the studs were used to somewhat align the fenders, when they installed them. I might be wrong.
I think the discussion included that the studs are found toward the rear and then near the front, with the center attaching hardware being bolts with captive washers. My T/A is consistent with this.

That makes sense! Too bad they weren't all installed that way . They look pretty cool. Mine has regular bolts . Thx for your input.
I bet it had something to do with production, and paint of the Flat black on the inner fender. But My original AAR has standard bolts and the Challenger T/A 0B304007 has standard bolts as well and this car is an original.
Well, my memory was bad, as to the location of the studs and bolts. Here is the thread:

I've heard many a wild idea over the years for use of studs and variations, some none, some one, two, or even 3. Try hanging a fender without making a mistake on your own by placing a stud or two prior, one can easily "hang" the fender while installing the remaining hardware.
Read your car, don't change history
Meanwhile, the reserve has been met, at just over 51k.
That seems like a decent, low, reserve. It's a beautiful car.
Man that is close by and I know someone who will probably pick it up to add to their collection. That is if he can fit it in.
Wish the B5 guy put all the numbers on the site in regards to "numbers matching".
Anyway, the orange one has been for sale quite awhile.
Reserve met. Looks like the hammer will drop.

Here is another one to add to the list : A group of line-rats on swing shift figured out hanging a fender using studs was much easier. So they started doing it ....until they got busted. : )
Gotta admit J-code cars are pretty peculiar ! Glad they were allowed to be built . probably wasn't a popular idea in the accounting department at the time....
It would have been even more unpopular with the accounting department if the original plans for the Trans Am cars had been approved. Bigger tires, 4 wheel disc brakes, I think even a fiberglass front end was planned. The car would have been as unique an E body as the Daytona and Superbird were to B bodies.

I knew they were slated for 4-discs . Didn't know about the fiberglass front clip . That would've been awesome.
I think (and I'm going off my fading memory) that many of the styling cues on the Diamanté show car came from design proposals for how the T/A was originally proposed to be. And the fiberglass front end was going to be a one piece assembly that tilted forward to access the engine compartment?
15x8 wheels, H60 tires, and a 305 cubic inch engine!
