Default Re: Ordering a new L78/L89 Camaro/Chevelle

Why Chevrolet marketed certain options and ignored others is a mystery. For example JL8 is mentioned in the Camaro showroom brochure twice but the L34/78/89, M21/22 are not. JL8 wasn't available much of the year and was exteremly expensive. But thousands of the unmentioned 396 engines were produced.

Speaking of brochures the Canadian version is strange. It is several pages shorter and nearly all of the text is slightly different. It refers to the VE3 bumper as the "Astro" bumper [US version calls it "Color-Matched" nowhere is it called "Endura"] and shows the Z/28 as having F70 x 15 tires.

Must have been some marketing reason.
