I would say no, this is not a true claim.  Looking at the numbers on the 
website it would appear that there were 9320 four door hardtops built 
across the three lines with  4,714 of them being Crowns.  Both the 
Silvercrest and "contintental kit" as he calls it we hugely popular 
options.  I don't know how many there were but I would feel safe in 
guessing that at least a couple thousand were produced that way.
