As a sidenote, I believe it was a devastating UAW strike in 1972 that resulted in a very short run (only 1,286 Trans Ams produced), and over 2100 Camaros and Firebirds were left in various stages of production on the assembly lines. When the strike ended, these 1972 cars would not meet the new 1973 Federal standards, so the 1972 models that were in process were all scrapped.
