One can pretty much divide them to pre-'72 and post '72.
The last, that I know of, NASCAR stocker built off of a body in white, was a 1972 Torino built for Bobby Unser to run at Riverside.
After that they slowly moved to full tube-frame imitations.
PS-- There was a genuine seventies Grand-Am Pontiac built. (I.e. Pontiac engine) I am not sure of the chassis though.
