I have a book that lists all the options you could get on your new first Gen when ordering it back in the day. Its weird to see how the options were priced back then. Some of them seemed very strange. Most glaring to me was the cost of A/C as an option back then.
For example: In model year 1967 Air Conditioning was a $356 option..a lot of money back then for sure. What i found bizarre was that the L35 option (the 396 engine with 325HP was only $263...less than the A/C option. Thats really weird for me for some reason. In fact the whole SS option with the 350 was only $210...much less than A/C.
By 1969 air conditioning on a 69 Camaro would cost you $376....while the L78 396/375hp option cost you less than that at $316.
I understand that none of those options were cheap in that day..but does it seem strange to anyone else that you paid more for A/C than you did for the L78 option..or any SS package for that matter??
