This was in the days before the internet (Hemings ads days ).

They made a lot of test pieces All kinds of variations. There’s crazy (sometimes little) anomalies from the norm out there floating around .

I I grew up next to a performance dealer so I’d seen or heard of some cool stuff and that was in CT, imagine what’s floating around that got back doored out of the factory.
Dimitri Toth's dad is the guy that made all the experimental cast parts.

Dimitri is still kicking around and has well over 50 years seniority at the Pontiac Michigan home plant.
