Is this real or someone's pipe dream?

I saw this on ebay and it says that this is a 1972 442 factory package...

Obviously, Olds never had this package for 1972 from the factory..

It is a K-code 350 (single exhaust) with a cut-out dual bumper..
Some kind of weird makeshift console with parts from a 4-speed console.
A early 80's Sun tach on the console with HURST scribed on it...

Any thoughts?

How about someone's nightmare if they buy this joke of a car.

The mounting bracket on that tack looks like one for clamping to a steering column. It doesn't even fit right. Who do they think they're fooling with that?

Tangentially related, but why do so many cars that are supposed to have head rests lose them along the way?
Car is a real oddity & IMO the stuff that makes it rare don't make it desirable and all the stuff he lists as a special order sound like BS to me.

Just like any other "one of none" car, it is all in the documentation. Without it, you have nothing. And this is a case in point. None of the outrageous claims are backed up. "Trust me.....".

Bing, bing, bingggg - ricochet rabbit!

Looks like the judges were well fooled of this "super rare" option. So rare that he had no problem hacking the dash for a cd player...
