Default L71 options

Were you able to get a 69 L71 with power steering and power brakes. I talked to two people with L71's for sale and said you couldn't get p/s p/b with the L71. I think that's wrong.

That is wrong. Both were available on an L71 equipped car. Either they're BS'ing you to get you to buy their cars or they simply don't know the facts.

the only option you could not get with a L-71 was RPO C60 AC

If one of them is red with lots of options, be very careful. There was a red one for sale a few months back on eBay stating power steering was not an option. The car had lots of paperwork, all fake. I have it saved, I'll try to find it later and post the fake tank sticker.

They were an option. My tank sticker listed power brakes, power windows and rear defrost
