Fred Gibb order for 50 COPO ‘68 L78/TH400 Novas falls in that category. Ford’s initial build of 50 identical 1968 428CJ Mustang fastbacks to allow the cars to compete in the Winternationals is another example. The difference to me in that era is that Ford and Chrysler were generating these builds internally to meet specific competition goals, while GM after the 1963 Racing Ban seemed to need advocate dealers to make these kinds of limited builds happen.
