Agreed that is a good example . Although idk if that car was a dealer car w factory back door support or not I didn’t read the whole story of the car
Many of the dealer cars were special ordered and supported even with the racing ban in effect.

Sox and Martin was a different story as were most of the hemi cars because they had full factory support as they didn’t adhere to any racing ban. It pretty much was just GM w handcuffs on pretending not to okay that game while some at the factory were supporting the cars “on their own time” these guys back sorted alot of engineering pats out to dealer owned race cars. In the Pontiac world these were royal, knafel, Stephen , towne , garber, and a host of others. I’d imagine the olds world brainbeau and others were supported much the same way chevys were through copo and motion, Berger, yenko

Here’s where the racing ban came from :
