/\ IIRC in a recent issue of HMM a 1972 440 Charger(?) was covered;
A car which even Dodge denied as being built...
the story went something like this:
apparently the order was placed early enough that it was built as a carry over from 1971 model year options;
but right around the time it was built the 440 didn't pass emissions, so as a matter of liability, Dodge denied it ever being built.
seriously neat story/read...
I am actually surprised how little press the defunct 1970 SD/RAIV for the Firebird gets;
I really believe that the intended 1970 Firebird 'LS1' which eventually led to the GTO's 'L67' getting installed in Firebirds was why production numbers of RAIV-T/A's are so low - and why no RAIV-Formulas exist...
