Old Newspaper Classified Ads

I tried for some 1969 Clippinger ads Tim but seems little available, do you know if Bob Wingate was your car's salesman?
CA Plate #'s posted in old ads is a really great thing, hopefully it helps bring a few more car's histories to light!
Here's a '77 Auction piece w/ comments by Richard Buxbaum of Classic Motors below also a few more old ads...

Pete thank you for having a look, much appreciated! Not sure about the salesman, car's original owner is still around but couldn't confirm. I've heard that Bob W was the top salesman at Clippinger, and the go-to guy for ordering performance cars, especially 'vettes, so maybe? Seems the car was a dealer stock order rather than a customer order, so someone there knew what options to tick off that would appeal.
Aren't these ads such a great snapshot in time of an era when all that used iron was kicking around for not much $?
