None of the Nova brochures 68-70 mentioned the "RAT"....you had to know to ask for it. There were occasional factory print ads that mentioned the BB, but not very many...it was also a topic of several magazine test drive articles...eg; "13 second grocery getter"...lack of up front marketing really added to the sleeper reputation of these cars
