Funny little tid bit w this car is that Jim hayter had the lace taken off the car according to an interview w him and Ive seen pics of it later w/o the lace and a brighter red.

He also raced a 69 firebird before this car

I guess he was a lace paint "hayter" LMAO. Gotta keep up those dad jokes for my kid. :)

Pic of #27 with Lace over the Fathom Green when Dick Tutino owned/raced the ZL-1

#27 Had Quite a few Paint Schemes as Dick was Service Mgr at Alan Green Chev
and I believe his son painted in the body shop

Hayter was hired and moved to La Harpe for a year, He spent his time building the car, changing it, upgrading it from the fancy 1969 ZL1 show car that raced the previous years. At Hayter's request, the gold lace came off and the car was painted a bright red. Jim Hayter's name was painted across the back in large letters in place of Dick Harrell and Harrell's name was moved below using smaller lettering. Fred Gibb Chevrolet's name remained center stage on the car door

Bad pic
 

1969 pic

Is this the configuration you speak of? Rear wheel wells were opened up and an RS nose installed.

Paul,

Given that there is some wording about "Nostalgia"-something under the Fred Gibb logo on the door in the picture you posted, I don't imagine that the picture is from 1969.
