Absolute fairy tale.

Chevrolet never offered the cross-ram as an option. If it was in the trunk the dealer put it there.

Did Chevrolet only offer them as an over the counter mod? Did any of the CAN AM cars come with them on already? Like Penske Donahue or the one Smoky worked on? I know that Ricks has the original one off of the Penske Camaro and they have it on display! I know that Smoky took that one off and put his "modified" version on that car.

As already stated, the crossram was a dealer item. It was never installed at the assembly line on a factory delivered car. If it was in the trunk the dealer put it there.

By the way, did the guy know you were taping him and give his consent? Otherwise, you just committed a felony. PA is a 2-party consensual monitoring state. Unless you are a law enforcement officer, and conducting an investigation, you cannot record another person's conversation (in PA) without their permission.
