I bought this car about 1976-77. No one was cloning these cars then.

There was in '78.
I cloned my '69 Firebird convertible 350 into a RAIII. I added a Formula wheel, '70 T/A motor, a 400 hood w/ tach and a 400 front bumper & Ralleye wheels.
Len (the guy who founded Year One) cloned his '69 Firebird into a '69 T/A, complete with Formula wheel, home fabbed hood, extractors & spoiler.
My buddy Vance cloned his '70 Malibu into a SS396, complete with 396, cowl hood, SS wheels, and badging.
There were a few of us poor boys trying to fake until we could make it.
