From everything I've read over the years the '66-'71 street Hemis were considered normal production cars built on the line along side everything else. These weren't specialty cars like the Hemi Darts, Superbirds, Daytona Chargers, or Charger 500's. When you think of it, there are really very few parts that were Hemi only.
That is the way it was. The only batching that would go on other then the special cars that were already noted was in the paint area and convt's, if possible. Even today convt's go into a unique cell because of the time it takes to install the top mechanism and general complexity of the configuration.
Then why bother with the "SPECIAL HANDLING" instructions on the broadcast?

As a vehicle is built even a non special limited or special car line a bird or Hemi Dart a car could go on and off the main assembly line multiple times during the build. Including in plant quality control at various stages, out of plant quality control (ride test, ride control, customer prep), dealer pick-up as opposed to delivery by Nu-Car haul away or rail service etc... Any one of these scenarios could prompt a code being applied to the build by the programmer and it would automatically apply special handling feature to the car and a notation would appear on the bottome of all the broadcast sheets.
