I'm pretty sure specialty cars like Challenger T/A's, Dodge Charger Daytona's, etc. were not sequential. But it would be interesting to find out how smaller runs of other special cars were done. (i.e.: '68 Hemi Cudas and Darts (they had VINs, didn't they?), the 383 Darts that Mr. Norm got and converted to 440s, aluminum-nosed cars from '64, etc.)
Who knows why and how as its been a long time ago. In 1962 (1963 model year) Chevrolet assembled 25 1963 Z-11 Impalas. Then they assembled 25 more on a second run. Then when the racing ban was put into effect they assembled 7 more with the left over parts to use them up and yes it was an RPO (Regular Production Option) assembly. Some of the other manufactures pulled the cars from the assembly line and had an outside contractor finish the cars. Can we say Thunder Bolts, 1968 Hemi Cudas and Darts, etc.
