Default Has anyone ever found a factory mistake?

Has anyone ever found some original documentation on a car that was wrong? Maybe a typo from the factory on a build sheet or a trim tag that had options that could not be ordered together. I haven't found any yet and was just wondering if any one knows of any that exist.

Does your gas pedal count for a mistake because my Toyota has a very sticky pedal.

a real cool factory mistake is a fellow that lives near me that has an X-11 on the cowl tag real 69 Z-28. Most likely the only one.

i'm sure if that happened, anything could have happened on the buildsheet/docs.

A friend of mine has a 70 6BBL RoadRunner that is a post car with a fender tag that indicates it is a hardtop.

Yes...My POP states that my car is an auto powerglide and the Tag states that it is a 4-speed. I have known the car since 73 and was always a 4-speed. 67 Nova SS 327/4-speed
Found TWO broadcast sheets in the seats...One in the rear upper seat states auto and the one in the back of the upper Bucket seat states 4-speed?? Very weird.

Our 427 car didn't have it's own build sheet but did have the right half from an SS396, in the rear seat back, that was built 75 before ours. Probably a set out on the cushion line. All the tags on the car were normal.
