I can tell you how some of them came that way. I bought a 69RR in 72 from a neighbor who ordered it new in 69. He ordered it with bucket seats, auto with console. Salesman goofed up on the order form and it came in as Bucket seat/column auto/no console/no buddy seat. He was mightily PO'd, but they discounted the car $200, which was almost 3 months car payment back then, so he took it. I am sure that more than one salesman screwed up checking off the boxes on the order forms and is possibly why so many of them exist. Could be that's why many of them came that way, but not my GTS. It was a sales bank car. That and being sold new in Detroit are probably why it didn't sell until May 1969 (Aug 1967 SPD).

Many many years ago I had a 70RR that was a pretty stripped down car.
Manual steering & brakes.
Did have an AM radio and vinyl roof though.
Buckets, no console, auto on the column.
My 68 Satellite....... also manual steering and brakes....... is kind of the opposite of buckets and a column auto.
It’s a 4 speed with a bench(383 4bbl).
68 Satellite, 383 with stock 906’s, 3550lbs, 11.18@123

I don't think it was all the rare when these cars were new.
The floor shifter, especially with console, cost a bit extra.
Just seem like it today.
I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.

I looked at a 67 Barracuda fastback a few years ago, 273, 3 on the tree with buckets. Completely different thing. The OP was working with the assumption that a console would be standard with buckets for an auto-tranny car. In most cases, this wasn't the case. I am not aware of Mopar having console-mounted 3-speeds but it's possible there's a rare example out there. I know Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered it.
