There were after markets made and sometimes sold in the dealer****ps, but
they were conversions and wouldn't count.

THAT sounds more like it. :)
I drove black Trans Ams for close to a decade. Switched to a Firestorm
red Dodge Stealth and . . . Knight Rider 2000 (the first movie to take
place in the 21st Century!*) came out, and damn Hasseldorf if he wasn't
driving a Firestorm red Dodge Stealth. At least it was heavily enough
modified (into a Trans Am concept car clone) to be unrecognizable to the
casual observer.
