I know a few...
Friend had a plain-jane 72-ish Firebird that had a green paint and a red interior. Supposedly shipped to them by Pontiac as dealer stock. His uncle owned Kole Pontiac, so he got the "unsaleable" car for cheap.

1973 A-body: Conventional wisdom says none were built with an X in the VIN.
Production records indicate otherwise, and show ONE SD-455 A-body was built with functional Ram Air. Looks like it was a Grand Am according to the production totals. I assume it was a factory engineering car and is long gone.

Regarding the 455 HO 4-dr, order forms say the 455 HO was only available in 2 door cars, but never say never. Back then a phone call could get things done. No idea what they would have done for an exhaust system though.

For the 73 4 speed LeMans wagons: how did you get the production numbers for manual transmissions? Were they D35 2 seat or D45 3 seat models?
