There is a lot more detail documentation that you imply.

AC kept good records as to how each car was finished when it was shipped to SAI. The delivery invoice from SAI to the dealer/customer, as configured, is available for most all cars.

The production numbers were so small that records are quite detailed.

The only 427 cars painted by SAI were the Comp and S/C; virtually all 427 street cars came painted and preconfigured.

You are right about many cars being changed over the years; a lot of street cars were S/C-ized in subsequent years.
