If there was any participation by Pontiac in any Trans-Am racing program, then there should be firsthand accounts and factory ledgers or invoices somewhere. I do not believe there is any truth at all in the tale of "Canadian Firebirds" that were not truly modified Camaros or US Firebirds, simply because "Canadian Firebirds" don't exist! All North American Camaros and Firebirds were US-built.

If it was a wildcat operation by racers, without factory support, why did Pontiac not quash the rumors? Is it because the racing program boosted sales?

Of the Who's Who of Pontiac, who should have the answers? I'll be happy to present the question.
