Thanks a bunch!! The car in the ad very well might be his car.... The NCRS cert states that the official GM production date was 4/14/1969, so that fits the date of the newspaper ad as well.

Too cool Marl and everything does seem a perfect fit, black hat included!
Gotta love the NCRS reports and how well they help connect dots that would otherwise be missed.
Note the L78 car in the ad below the Z-28, does Really Green actually mean Rally Green?:hmmm:
:beers:
