I'd really love to hear the definitive answer on WHY these 6 cars were built. Also, why did they use the Q-jet and Iron intake when the Vette and Chevelle L-79 still used the Holley in '67?

It's a huge mystery to me as to why they'd produce this handful of cars at the end of a model year when the '68 Chevy II was going to be an all-new design. Especially when you consider that the '67 Chevy II 327 L-79 had several unique features (block, oil pump, pan, windage tray, intake, carb, etc) that made it completely different from other L-79s being produced that year. It wasn't like they could just stab in an L-79 destined for a Vette or Chevelle. I've heard several theories and none make sense to me.
