According to the Production Figures table at the following link Dr Terry, they apparently manufactured some 258 Landau's in the months preceding October 1973. But I definitely agree with you that using the thing's brakes, but not its carb and manifold, was a case of questionable cashew-picking.

That cotton-pickin' Supercar Scare has got a lot to answer for...
