71 E Body Driver's Side Fresh Air Vent

That's pretty much what I figured. I'm guessing between that and what appears to be a Shaker cable hole, it was assembly line screw up.

Unless maybe the shaker meant no driver air box? And the shaker option was removed mid-build? Just wild *** guessing, I don't know enough about some of those fancy E-body options to know for sure.

Putting the wrong inner cowl on a car seems like a pretty significant Friday screw up, but I'm sure worse happened.
