So what you're saying is that a dealership ordered its race car without frills?
That's an anomoly. 99.9% of GTOs ordered were not like that.
I just think people (not necessarily you) are too quick to say things about cars in the era that aren't really true, such as "they'll build it any way you want" or "that 426-S Polara 4-door was ordered by the FBI".
