- 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).
