That does not seem likely to me.

There are rules about how many "high content" vehicles can be built in a row, due to workload on the line. In other words, you can't build too many tripowers in a row, you can't build too many manual trans in a row, you can't build too many A/C cars in a row, and - I suspect - you can't build too many convertibles in a row.

It could be different during model change over, and I could imagine a plant building a short run of all convertibles but at a reduced line rate or with empty carriers between builds.

But -I am speculating, and that perhaps makes me no better than the ebay seller.
