1969 CAMARO JL-8

[jbsides]

A friend of mine, who lived in Wisconsin and worked at a Chevrolet dealer, ordered a hugger orange JL-8 Z/28 in October, 1968. He was informed, at least twice between October and January, that the car build was being delayed due to the JL-8 option, and he was given the opportunity to delete it from the order. He opted to continue to wait instead, and finally got the car in early March. While I'm reasonably sure his working for Chevrolet didn't have any influence at the factory, I think his situation indicates there were parts availability problems at least until January. I would be leary with any car that had a JL-8 rear before then, but that is just me, you never know for sure what slipped through.
