Milt Robson Collection going to auction

[njsteve]

That 69 Firebird RAIV ragtop has to be the only one in existance. I recall they only made a few hardtops, I have no idea on the ragtop nummbers. That's a rare car...and a black four speed car to boot! DAMN!

Looks Liberty Blue to me.

They made 17 of them, and there's more than 1 that exists.

Looks like production was 157 total RAIV's for '69, 55 of which were T/As.

I can't tell the color from looking at the photos on my POS laptop. Blue would be just as cool as black. Love that parchment interior.

I don't remember if the engine is the original or not, I think it may be. There was an article done on it back in 87 or 88 in one of the muscle car magazines and it may have stated it in there.

I don't remember if it does or not as it has been a while since I last looked at the car.

Yes this car is blue. Milt at one time has owned some other rare convertible Ponchos: the only 69 Trans Am with a blue top, Gold 69 FB 400 &quot;show car&quot; that was loaded, 57 Fuelie Bonneville, and a red on red RA IV Judge (either 1 of 1 or 1 of 2 in that color combo). Most of his rarest cars were always convertibles: 68 Z-28, 70 Hemi Cuda, 71 Hemi Cuda, a bunch of Chrysler letter cars, a 68 L89 Camaro, 68 or 69 L88 Corvette just to mention a few.

I believe Phil S. owns 69 TA Conv, with a blue top, so I believe there was another one.

At the Pontiac Nationals in Greenville a few years ago he had the Triple Black RA IV 69 Judge Conv, and the Red, white top, Red int RA IV 70 Judge Conv very nice cars from Milts collection.

Steve I remember Jake (JT) and Milton stating it was the only blue top Trans Am produced in a convertible and it was an automatic. The one he owns now is the only triple white one and it is a 4spd. Maybe there were two built I don't know. No matter what they are the rarest of all Trans Ams.

My old TA vert that Phil now has is a blue top 4 speed with blue deluxe interior. Jorge also has a blue top auto I think.
