The AAR's were not really ordered by customers to dealers didn't want to have an expensive car sitting on thier lots they didn't know if they could sell.



..... but the bench seat was still an OPTION, with a $16.50 price tag.
Bucket seats with a column auto was "cheaper". The console was a $53.35 OPTION.

The only reason bench seat (non-AAR) 'Cudas are not seen today, is because the more mundane 4bbl (340, 383, 440) automatics w/bench seat interior were shuned & parted years ago as undesirables. Multiple carb cars have a higher survival rate because of multiple carbs.



Very good points. I agree, most of what we see today is not a good indication of what was built and sold. I didn't remember a bench seat was an extra cost option.

But even as multiple carb 440-6 and Hemi 'Cudas go, in your opinion does it seem to you a lot of AAR's are bench seat?

I realize you could order an AAR/TA, but most were not.
