I guess I'm wondering if I'm sitting in front of my salesperson in 1972 and say "I want black bucket seats on my D37 LeMans ", he circles 761 for black buckets, what triggers that option code 734 LeMans Sport/W70 be added? And additionally, if I sat down and ordered a D37 LeMans and wanted the 334 Gto option and then said "I want black bucket seats" he would also circle 761 and apparently that would automatically trigger the 654 "Custom trim" (same price as the 734 sport option). I'm just curious who/how those different options got added to the order going to the factory? Guess we may never know.
A build sheet or broadcast sheet for a bucket seat '72 LeMans would tell the tale. I'll see if I can scrounge one up . . .
