Agree 100% IIRC some of the early 1st editions were misprinted and had duplicate yr coverage of some yrs, at same time other yrs info was missing...publisher offered free exchange replacement. Wouldn't be good if someone paid $650+ for one of of those!

Exactly. IIRC The original intention was to have a pocket reference guide for use "in the field" to verify OEM equipment, etc. when it was originally published in the '90s there was no such thing as portable "tablets" smartphones, etc.

Yeah, but I'm partial and I like that "4,112" W72 4-spd #

Anyone else have one of those old Trans Am production numbers posters like I do?

I had it professionally mounted and framed before all of the "expert" number crunching said it 'twas incorrect.
(It's right under a mounted and framed "Traveler in Time" T/A poster)

Can't wait until someone comes out with "official" revision of 1979 W72 4-spd Y84s that says more than 1,107 of those were made...
Guess that'll be time to scrap it or "LS it" like all the current hipsters?

No worries. Just having some fun "with the numbers"

Nope. I do have a Corvette poster though.
