Default 1969 Camaro JL8 option question

Could it be possible that the JL8 option was ever ordered/installed on a standard 1969 Camaro that is factory equipped with a 307ci engine and a Saginaw 4 speed transmission? Thanks in advance!

Yes, it could be ordered with any 1969 Camaro regardless of options.

Yes, Gregg found that very set up. I saw it when he brought it home after pulling it out of a California field.

The option was more expensive by a significant amount if it was not a Z28 or SS I believe... ~$625.00 sticks in my head? ~

Mine was ordered with 307, 4 speed, factory air, blue light stereo, vinyl top and of course the JL8 option. It had June of 1969 dated Delco air shocks and trailer wiring still present when I found it. It was delivered new to a dealer about 30 miles from the Van Nuys plant but was built in Norwood due to the JL8 option.

Good memory! Per CRG Options list:
$623.50 for non-SS, non-Z/28
$500.30 for SS and Z/28

Does that mean no JL8-optioned cars were assembled at LOS, or just in the timeframe yours was built?
