//No 1973 production “A” cars were produced with functional NASA
//scoops. However, one prototype, now in private hands, does exist.

//or 1986. The Norwood, Ohio plant built one on its own.
//The 1982 Firebird was designed to contain the Pontiac manufactured

//There was serious production design to use 1.8 liter, four- cylinder,
//non-turbo engine in 1984 Fiero to provide even higher fuel economy.
//1,229 1986-1/2 Grand Prix 2+2s were made. Despite original plans,
