I always found that to be a bizarre stance for him to take - the proof of their effectiveness was there.
Anyways, the '69 Trans Am convertible's low production numbers are due to the same reasons as Hemi Cuda convertibles' low production numbers: they were both expensive and unnecessary niche exercises. Basically, a product created for a market that was not there.
