Special runs must include a run of 50 units of an already accepted body style, need not be showroom available.

That is what it was changed to include ZL 1 cars and at that time they already knew the cj's were being built so its was dropped to 50 from 500 actual production cars. nhra did not even want a AA class at first, only after talk of new mustangs did they change their tune. If there had not been a AA class all the new cars would be in SS. Why is that so hard to understand, ford sealed the deal before the cars were done so they could also run Stock.
