Is slapstick a lie?

I too have a 1974 Challenger that I ordered in December of 1973. It had a 318 / 904 originally. The shifter is not labeled "Slap Stick" on the console plate. It works exactly as you described. I don't know if the slap stick was an option. I have the build sheet if anyone can decode it.

Welcome to the site , the slap stick should still ratchet through the gears & lock out reverse if it is pulled fully into 1st gear

Mine was labeled "slap stick" but likely never slap sticked!

I was watching the video this morning about how the slap stick wasn't working properly and the wife walked by and asked what is that.   I explained the non working issue and she said....well, your slap stick doesn't work either!  I thought that was kind of rude!
