If the cars came off the production line, be it 5,000 cars or 1 car, it was still built on the production line. I am aware of two 1973 Pontiac Wagons that were "built" with 455 SD engines vs the production 455 engines. No build sheets for the cars but the line workers mistakenly built these two vehicles (for some other line workers on the same line) "by accident" apparently. These two guys were long time Pontiac Assembly Line workers, not Pontiac management "shooters".
Now that is not invoiced but the cars still got built and I saw one of the two of them in college driven by the son of one of the workers.
Rocky, my understanding is that there were many dynometer issues with the 73/74 SD engines due to aggressive dyno pulls by some employees.
