Aren't you coming off a bit too defensive?

Why is that so hard for you to believe? Were you there when this particular Camaro was built on the GM line.

I wasn't even BORN yet! But I must ask . . . were you there? Because the way you're asking me, you must have!

Think about it - why would Chevrolet make it a thing to add a black panel to all SS396 cars like the Chevelle, yet exempt a Camaro if it was black (or Fathom Green, for that matter)? Doesn't that sound like a logical question?

Maybe the person/dealer ordering this car decided they didnt want a blacked out rear panel.

Then that should be backed up with documentation; however, according to the article, some experts are in disagreement whether these cars were exempt from the black.

The car did not have a black out panel when and it came to us, but all the signs indicated it was a L78. And here is clue we built the car the way the customer wanted.

Bravo for the owner getting what he wanted! But it still doesn't answer the question.
