Pretty Sure Y88's were available to order much later than February. I know the End of January (February) was the cutoff for the W72 Automatic transmission combo, so maybe that date started some confusion with the Y88?
IIRC, there are Y88s with build dates into late 1978. I know they started to fizzle after August, but I recall many mid & fairly late W72/4-speed & L78/Auto cars.
Did some of these orders take 6 months to build? I Guess that's possible, but seems a little unlikely.
