But this is heavy duty stuff for some of us, if you are able.
Martys NL, Magnificent Five, he told me it was coined by Pontiac promotions on early Birds. I had never heard of it before. He explained, I might have it half right - base 6cyl/ Sprint6/ base V8/ 400/ Ram Air. How close was that ?

It was 350HO(326) not the RA that was the other of the "Five"
the RA was an option on top of the 400,whereas the others were
separate engine/drivetrain options.
Billing historys have been modified to exclude prices.I believe that was at PMD/GMs request.
I honestly believe that if too much flack is taken by GM for providing this info it will simply evaporate.GM is not in the business of restoring old cars or info for them they are building and selling new cars.All else is just icing.
Im pretty sure that the document showing updated changes in the price schedules is enough proof as to the exact date of the RAI-RAII transition.That document dated 6/5/68 shows the 4/29/68 date as the rollover.
Prices posted do not concur with a document I just rediscovered dated 11/67 which showed a L67 price of 342.29 for A body and 616.12 for F body. The Fbody included the 345 option in that pricing.
Whats odd is the June 1968 document states the option price(stricken thru to reflect the increase) for the L67 was 357.29. Im going to dig some more and see if there was a $15 increase between 11/67 and 4/68.I SERIOUSLY doubt that someone got a RAII at the RAI price but learned long ago to never say "never" or "always".Stay tuned more to come.
