November's Theme is "Sticker Shock" . WTF?

I'm talking about the "sticker packages" or equivalents that were available either factory or through a dealer. Your "SS" models, 442, H/O, T-Type/GN (yes I know there weren't stickers on it.) etc. Dealer special editions like the Cutlass or Grand Prix GT, W-19, M-80, Choo-Choo etc. count, too.

Looking for legit examples, so go! I will run this until I have 8 entries to go from.

Did any of yous read this?

I hope I qualify for this one. These aren’t original stickers.

That is one sweet H/O! They get/ got no love for years, including from me, even though i am a G body guy, having owned four over the years (84 Regal, 81 Malibu wagon in the past), and two currently (79 Malibu since 97 and 83 Malibu wagon since this Spring.). I am still kicking myself for passing up the 79 (?) H/O I came across about 20 years ago. It was black and gold as well. The seller was only asking $500, but it was nowhere near as clean as yours and not running (no damage, just from sitting) It was a rust free Central Texas car, though. I went to look at it to see if it had an 8.5" rear to swap into my '79 Malibu, and since it didn't and I was a broke apprectice electrician at the time, I passed. I now realize that IMO, it would have been a lot cooler car than the baby blue malibu that originally came with a 267/ TH200 and 2.29 7.5" rear. I shoulda bought the H/O and sold the 'bu, but the 'bu was my daily driver at the time, and my backup was an 82 3/4 ton Suburban with a 6.2 diesel (Reliable and somewhat efficient tranportation and tow rig, but not exactly good for "spirited" driving... I remember when I first saw the Hurst Dazzler wheels like those on your car. I immediately thought "WOW, those would look great on a black/ gold H/O like the ne I passed on years ago..."
