The CRG db has a number of Van Nuys built JL8 cars.

Lee, that is my car. I'll get some updated pics when it stops raining!
William, I don't know why the car was built in Norwood but it's a good chance it had to do with the JL8 option. Maybe the unusual gear ratio for a JL8? |

Nope. The NCRS date for the car is June 3. Van Nuys was on strike at the time.

Just when you thought you've seen it all. A 307 stick car no less.
Would love to hear the story of the original owner's reasoning of such a expensive option on a base car.

My guess would be for towing. I wonder if the extra cost is because the non Z28 cars had 14" wheels and the JL8 required 15" wheels/tires.

Plus the multi-leaf springs, if the car wouldn't already have had them?

Any known L-78 or pacer JL-8's?
I almost bought a fathom green L-78 at carlisle many years ago. The car came with original paperwork, window sticker, etc. Even had a form with the listed options that the salesman ordered for the buyer. One option was JL-8, but when delivered. the car came without the rear discs (because the option apparently was cancelled I assume). Anyone remember that car? If my memory is correct, it had Deluxe interior, no console, center tach and cowl hood, 4.10 rear. I believe m-22 also. Came with window sticker. Had rust around the rear window. Was 3800 bucks. I offered 3500 which was all I had on me. Guy would not even take a deposit. I left that day and drove two hours home and went back the next day with full 3800, but it was sold. |

Was that about 1987-ish? I remember a similar car - pretty rusty too. As I recall the guy left all the paperwork including the title on the dashboard overnight and the paperwork was stolen. |

Could have been.. car needed sheetmetal in the rear yes. Back then that scared everyone away. They did not make any repo parts yet or that rear panel between the rear window. But it ran real nice!
....the car and the guy were gone the next day when I went back. Never heard about car again. |
