I can tell you this about the L88 Vette. They didn't make one. Reason I know; I know two folks that tried to buy one and they each recieved letter stating they were not going to do a production run. I did see one once, and later learned that the guy built it himself out of over the counter parts. This is just like the 1965 Nova with the 327-350HP engine option. They show it in the catalog, but it never went to production. But it did show up in 1966. Another one like that is the Ram Air V GTO as well as the other un-named one. But interestingly there was a bunch of dealers that got together and had a run of 396 Impalas built with two four barrels rated at 430hp. I've seen three or four of them setting on a couple dealer's lots.

Sounds to me more or less like the good ole boys got together and created their own car for their own class

plymouth.....1965 hemi car; second fasted car on the planet. But if I could just have one it would be a 343hp 1962 Fury
Merc......1951 chopped 3" and setting so low you gotta look up at man hole covers
Rambler (only I'd do this)....1969 superstock AMX they never made a Ford this fast
Chrysler......300F a muscle car before there ever was a term
Olds.....1957 J2
Pontiac......none
Buick.........1967 Riviera
Caddy........1957 Eldorado
Lincoln........four door convertable

Good list. I'd take a ride in any of them!

chevy....1962 Bel Air 2dr hardtop with very late in the year Z-11 engine (over the parts counter) upgrade package w/ aluminum fenders. No, I don't mean the '63 Z-11.
dodge.... Just to be different; 1960, 383 with (2) AFB's & long individual tube ram induction. I've rode in 3 of these, damn they make a bunch of torque, squall tires from zero to 80 and the AFB's moan like a bitch. That car is a behemoth though.
Ford.......1932 coupe. Simply the one and only street rod to me.
Dodge.... 1962 w/ 413 wedge, short crossram & 2 AFB carbs.
plymouth.....1963 Stage-3 Wedge with aluminum frontend.
Merc......1964 Comet A/FX with medium rise 427 wedge. A real stout running piece in '64.
Rambler....1969 superstock AMX. Agreed; Wheel toting, short wheelbase little dude. Actually a lot of fun to drive and they ran pretty damn good too.
Chrysler......300F a muscle car before there ever was a term -Agreed. The first factory car that had 1hp per cubic inch.
Olds.....1957 J2 - Agreed. Believe the 2dr HT actually had a 3 piece rear window. There's a little design trivia for ya.
Pontiac......'62 Grand Prix with 405 horse 421. A good & clean looking car to me. Couldn't run with a 409 though.
Buick.........1967 Riviera - Agreed. Kinda' classic looking then and now.
Caddy........1959 The biggest friggin' tail fins ever put on a car, that's probably the only reason anyone remembers it. That thing is a tank!
Lincoln........four door convertable - Yep, with rear suicide doors.
