1983 Trans AM 5.0 H.O. Question
Were there ever any Recaros or Daytonas built with this engine?
I have never heard of any, thinking that there ,maybe, was a production gap, from when the S/E cars were made, till the time this engine option was made available.
Would have made for a cool combo
Let's hear your thoughts!

No Daytona's were made with the L69. I'm pretty sure no '83 Recaro's were either.
