A '68 Super Bee comes to mind.......
Remember that was over 40 years ago.I worked at a Dodge dealer then. You could walk in and order just about anything you wanted back then.You just had to have a salesman(usually the salesman was the owner) that would check off the right boxes. Their biggest fear was getting stuck with a car that nobody would want. That is why some people argue over things that weren't ever built. I always say "Never say never when it comes to Ma Mopar". Our dealer was well known for buying from the sales pool and we got in alot of cars that were factory screw ups that came down the assembly line.Things got worse in the mid 70's due to strikes and Chrysler almost going bellyup.Quality control was non-existant.Getting back to the 60's I'm sure you remember hearing and reading about 273 Hypo 4 door Darts and 4 door Coronets with Hemis to name a few.

I met an original owner of a 66 chevrolet belair. the man ordered the car with the l-72 option and nothing else. I saw this car in stock condition and it was totally stripped except for the big block 427 package and a four speed ,so chrysler surely wasn't he first one to do this. however , i feel that chysler did the best job of marketing the go-fast stripper !
