Not uncommon at all . In fact, three of the neatest cars I have owned personally were all column shift auto's with bucket seats , and no fold down arm rest (buddy seat). 70 Charger R/T SE Sublime green ,dealer demonstrator, 1970 Challenger R/T , hemi orange, 440 six pack , lots of options , and 1971 GTX ,curious yellow . I was told once that it was a common configuration on dealer demos because it made the interior appear bigger . I don't know if that is true or not .

I remember looking at & driving a 71 Challenger R/T 383 that was for sale in Phoenix back in the mid-80's. It was buckets with column shift auto.
Shoulda bought that car too - it was all original but my business partner insulted the guy with a lowball offer that pissed the guy off.

Most C bodies of the 60's/70's that came standard with bucket seats (300,Monaco 500,Sport Fury) had column shift with buddy seat. ya want console,floor shift? you pony up the moulah to get that. I had seen 69 GTX/ Coronet R/T (bucket seats standard) without any buddy seat nor console. Both optional,but correct me if I am wrong.

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.
