I painted one of those '74 Camaros in high school. ( Have hated the smell of Bondo ever since. )
At the time, I thought G.M. was just being cheap when I saw that the lower half of the grille was 'fake'.
Now I know why it was closed off.
Actually, Hot Rod modified a T/A in the mid '90s ( or was that late 80s ) to run at Bonneville. ( The red Gale Banks car ) They lowered the car and put on moon disks. The .Cd instantly dropped down to .25 - .28 or so.
It's been decades since I read the article, but I still remember that it dropped into the twenties, because I was confused about that blocky front end on the car.
( Then as now )
