The $115 that you are missing is the base price increase.
The base Firebird had an increase to $2,781. I can’t find the sheet but I believe it was Jan. 1 1968.

Code 754 is related to that. The shoulder belts became std. equipment except conv’t . Again going off memory, but I think it was Jan. 1, 1968 for all Pontiacs. The option box would have remained in the billing card because of the conv't, but no cost was associated on the HT as it was std. equipment.

I ran the black conv’t in your link and it comes out right.
(talk about some options!)


I believe we have enough data on the RA2 GTO’s to atleast “assume” the 1-1-68 option price sheet is right. If we get more May sheets, we may actually be able to narrow the RA changeover date down.

Firebird is still messing me up. I ran my RA1 F/B and can’t get it right unless I charge $9.48 for the ride and handling package - which should have only been $4.21 with the 400 option?
If I use $9.48 then the exact $15.00 increase shows up? Maybe another increase?

Anybody else’s head hurt???
