Prices
shown were introductory retail and included factory and dealer delivery
and handling. They did not include transportation, or state and local
taxes.

Not all
options shown were available at the start of production, and some were
deleted before year's end. For instance, RPO-MB1 and RPO-L89 were both
introduced after the start of the model year. The factory-supplied RPO Z28
packages with exhaust headers and plenum air intakes were discontinued
before the end of 1968 production.
-
When no
quantity is shown, it is generally included in other listings. For
instance, several variations of the RPO-Z28 option were available during
part of the year, but the 7,199 quantity is the total of all combinations
sold.

Chevrolet records also indicate the following sales: RPO-K05 Engine Block
Heater (507 sold).
