M&M, I don't pretend to know more than anyone about Pontiacs. I just like them. I respect everyone's opinion on this RA V question, and, I have the utmost respect for Jim M., and, his records. Being old enough [by a long shot] to have been around back then, I still maintain the "never say never" stance. Now, I don't believe a car with a RA V would have been built "on the line", and delivered via normal procedures. Could a car have been sent to a special area, and, a "special" engine or equipment installed? I wouldn't rule it out. If it DID happen, I know there is a dispute over whether this would constitute a "conversion" car, or, a car delivered from the factory.
As far as regulations, if the car was not being sold to the public, but, was a special promo pool car or something, wouldn't that avoid compliance issues?
I do agree that we won't solve this puzzle in this discussion, but, it's been fun trying.
