OP sounds like so many stories that used to float around. We have all heard them.
"My brother-in-law's nephew bought a new XXX that got 40 mpg. Until the factory security people came and took back the carburetor. It was an experimental model that wasn't supposed to get on the assembly line. The oil companies paid to get it back because they didn't want to lose fuel sales if that model went into production."
Or you are at a cruise night with yourold darksider and somebody starts talking another story. "My cousin bought a Bonneville in 59 with a 421. Fastest thing in the county. Nobody could touch him stop light to stop light."
Great story in a one stop light town. And you never got the story from the guy who had the car. And there is no way to back check the facts and see who started the story. Factory 326 in a GTO. Never happened.
