They wouldn't be "Holy Grail" to me though. :)
“Fast
N’ Loud” host Richard Rawlings has found what he calls the car
industry’s “Holy Grail” — the first two Pontiac Firebirds ever built, the New York Post reports.
Called
simply “#1” and “#2,” the prototypes were manufactured by Pontiac
engineers and were used as models for the 1967 Firebird, which
revolutionized the world of sporty “muscle cars” when it rolled off the
assembly line.
“We
found the cars in a garage in Connecticut,” says Rawlings. “They were
in a dilapidated barn and are the very first Firebirds . . . they were
hand-made . . . and were used by GM to decide if they wanted to build
the Firebird.”

My holy grail would be the very first 1968 Hemi Road Runner. Now that would be fun to put back on the road.......;)
