The reason you see that a few cars were equipped with the bucket seats sans console is that a lot of people assumed that if you ordered bucket seats, the console was included. Obviously, this was not the case. The center console was RPO D55.

I agree, they kinda are, but not. However, it would be great to actually find one of these cars, and look at the PHS for it. It should have the WW3 option code. In theory, one could take the spoiler, shaker, and the stripes and add them to one of these cars, and have a PHS documented Can Am, even though the car spent it first 33 years as a very plain white LeMans. How do we know that this hasn't happened a few times already?
