Yes, you’re missing the destination charge and the power brake charge.

Here is one with manual front disc brakes. In this case it would only be the $63.19 for disc brakes.
The math on this one works out to exactly $473.94 for the RA option. This is exactly the MSRP price in the sales sheets.


Either way Boss, it’s a RA car. To me any 68 R/A F/B or GTO is cool!



Couple thoughts,
What I still don’t understand is when or how the cut-off took place?
There had to be an exact date that the option changed for orders?

The car distribution sheet is dated May 7, 1968 and the Blueprint is dated May 16, 1968. Being that the same option code is used, when would the dealer charge the new price? If a guy ordered a RA car on May 6th, what did he get?

If we were to take the May 7 date as the start and the June 12th date as the last date, it’s amazing that as many of the RA2 cars were actually built. That is just 5 weeks to order a car so very late in the model year and it cost over $100 more. To me it sounds like it might have been a tough sale.
