This is my 9th Mulletmobile. I owned a 95 1LE. You are correct. No air.

I wanted a 13 1SS in red. Chevrolet only built 76 of them. Was lucky to find what I wanted at the end of the model year.

It shouldn't make a difference. If you qualify for the rebate you get it. It shouldn't affect the dealer one way or another
