Doubt any JL8's were built in 68. They hadn't changed the wheels yet for more clearance.
They were only available for about 4 months....

[CROSSRAMJL8]

I READ THAT TOO, BUT THE AD WHEELS BOLT ON WITH NO CLEARENCE PROBLEMS AND ARE DATED CORRECTLY FOR THE CAR, THE SLOTS ARE BIGGER ON THE YH WHEELS IS THAT THE ONLY DIFFERENC ?

[Kurt S]

The AD wheels fit. But there wasn't sufficient clearance for Chevy, hence the YH's.
All data says: no JL8's in 68.

Kurt,

There is a special-order-paint 12B LOS JL8 car with 4-wheel discs and window sticker in my area. I think it's in the CRG database. I think I might have also sent you a copy of the window sticker, no?

Jon,
It's an 02C car.
The window sticker is a fake / repro, so I don't trust that datapoint much.

HI KURT
I HAVE SEE THE DEALER ORDER FORMS WITH A 06/68 REVISION THAT LISTED THE JL-8 OPTION. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY REASON THE JL-8 WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE START OF THE 69 PRODUCTION YEAR. IN HOOPERS BOOK ON PAGE 155 BOTTOM LEFT WINDOW STICKER THERE IS A LA CAR WITH A LOW PRODUCTION NUMBER THAT WOULD INDICATE A EARLY CAR?

The build sheet for that car is shown on page 76. April 7th appears to be the production date. Yet another Van Nuys built JL8!
