1969 RAIV Bird converts

[StealthBird]

Yes, these are extremely rare! There was a a road test conducted (article appeared in the "portfolio" series of road tests on 67-72 Firebirds) that had a 69 Firebird RAIV convertible with auto trans. I remember reading this road test, and after reading all the text (no spec sheet or performance data chart was given), I realized this was one of the five RAIV ragtop automatics produced that year. Of course, the road testers at that time had no idea (nor did they care) about the rarity of that Firebird.

I have no idea how many of these cars have survived, but I would think that the original (and subsequent) owners wouldn't have used a 69 RAIV Firebird convertible as daily drivers too often.
