I thought 96 was the bastard year. My son had one of those, and almost nothing he got for it was right on the first try.
The last of the '96's, the Classic model, are the oddballs to which you may be referring. We have one, build date of 9/96, well after the new '97's should have been on sale. I've seen build dates as late as October '96 in the junkyard. As they ran out of Gen l parts, Gen ll parts started to be substituted, especially under the hood. These are referred to in the salvage yards as 'Police Prep Package, at least in Harry's, in Hazleton, PA, where there's plenty of them. They were dolled-up Sports, to try to push the old iron off the dealer lots, when the 'new' '97s were due.
