Came upon a Ewing Bros. '69 sponsored by Schmidt's too but looks to be a different car?

I'm good friends with Gary and Wayne Ewing; older brother Ken passed away a few years ago. The "Schmidt's" sponsored car they campaigned was originally an Olympic Gold Z/28 That Gary and Wayne STILL race in Super Stock. Funny thing, their car and my car ("Anderson Olds W-31") ran each other when new in F/S. Their Z/28 only saw street use for a few weeks before becoming a dedicated race car; my car started racing the weekend after it hit the dealership.
The Schmidt's sponsorship paid for race entry fees, support costs, and the guys were paid $10.00 an hour if attending a car show promoting the beer.
