I believe it had a trailer hitch when discovered..therefore the JL-8 brakes.
I was at Carlisle many years ago and there was a green L-78 car for sale for 3800 bucks. All original drivetrain. M-22, cowl hood, center fuel guage and no console. Had rust around the back window.
The seller had all the paperwork including bus card of salesman that ordered the car. The car was ordered with JL-8, but arrived without that option. That must have been pretty common.
I only had $3500 on me that day, but seller would not even accept a deposit, so I went back the next day with all the cash, but it was sold.
Was wondering where that car is now.
I spoke to the brother of the original owner of my real JL-8 Z. He told me that they went to the dealer to buy an advertised 69Z with the xram in the trunk, but when they saw the added cost of the xram(500 bucks he said), they decided to by the JL-8 car that was on the lot instead. The first week they went and bought an edelbrock xram because it was way cheaper than the GM setup.
I imagine a vast majority of JL-8 cars were owner ordered and not sitting in dealer showrooms waiting for a buyer.
Back to this car... a REAL BEAUTY !!
