Question for Mr mojo
When I picked up my 96 collector edition in june of 96 at the museum I saw a 96 collector edition parked toward the side of the factory. This car if it was for real was a LT4 automatic, I couldn't see under the hood so it could be a automatic with LT4 stickers on it. Any thoughts on what could be the only LT4 automatic in existance (out of the factory that is not LT4 with a swapted tranny)

From what I know, which is very little...
LT4 and LT5 had manual transmissions out of the factory.
I think I read some where because of the tork...

LT4 never came with at Auto, if it has an auto, it didnt come with it. Or maybe the owner put an LT4 hotcam and heads/intake in there and decided to call it an a LT4.

The fact that I saw it parked in the exec area of the factory lead me to believe it might be a one of a kind built special for a high level GM factory exec

Re: Question for Mr mojo (Scoob)
The car was parked in front of the big shot parking area, I was able to see the interior, which was auto, I saw the LT-4 emblem on the car but I couldn't see under the hood. It was either an LT-4 auto or a LT1 with a LT4 emblem. I've always wondered if it was a real LT4 auto. The only reason I heard it wasn't made in a auto was that GM had to go through a separate emissions, certification and didn't want to incur the extra expense, sombody high up enough in the GM orginization may have put in a special order and been important enough to have them bend the rules for him.

One giveaway is to look at the tach, if it had an 8000 rpm tach, probably an LT4 unless he went to the trouble of changing that also.
There is a guy here on the forum with an LT4 automatic, but I don't remember if he had it done or if it came that way.
Supposedly none were released from the factory, but GM does have a lot of secret and experimental cars, like the V-12 Impala SS.
