Pete, thanks for all the great info!!!
I checked with Lance back when I bought the car. He did not have the sales records. The salesperson was C. H. Niazi, per the Golden Mile dealer folder that included the key codes and original owner Hurst's insurance information. A photo of the folder is on page 1 of this thread. According to the NCRS report, the car's production date was June 24, 1969. The GM production records and the Vintage Vehicle Report state that the shipping date was June 30, 1969. It's plausible that the car is the blue one listed for sale in the July 26th Gorries Ad. The service records/Owner's Adjustment Card state(s) that the car had a bad oil leak before Hurst even took delivery. This new car problem along with the rarely ordered T400 automatic transmission may explain why the car didn't sell until September 29th? Last edited by JJR69COPO; 06-17-2025 at 02:26 AM.

Considering Build Date, the Blue car in the 07/69 Ad is likely your LB car but looking again, I found this below 09/26/69 Gorries/G’Mile Ad w/ 2x 427 Camaros. Way cool description also timeline fits so good chance the Royal Blue “Sleeper” is your car?  ~ Pete .

Last try searching w/ incorrect ‘Camero’ spelling yielded this 08/69 Gorries Ad. Not the Blue 9561 but looks like the Green car was a Demo, Frost Green M40 w/ D80, does Special Instrumentation = 140 Speedo/9737? Sadly, the Frost Green car sounds like N660749, real car MIA and fake built/sold as this linked thread… https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=104704 ~ Pete .

Pete, thanks for taking the time to post the Gorries newspaper ads. I'm thinking the "Sleeper" ad dated 9-26-69, three days before Hurst took delivery, is probably the same car.
On a related note, I am happy to report that we did not find any Frost Green paint when we stripped my car's underside. I must admit that I paused for a moment when I read the ad for the Frost Green Demo car because the options on both cars are nearly identical. Still looking for a Gorries Golden Mile key fob or any other dealer items. Thanks again to everyone who posted and or called me. Jim

Back from paint.
Still looking to buy an AC A212CW Air Filter and an IO/CH - UZ radiator tag before the car goes to MCACN in November. Thanks to everyone who called me and shared info about this car.
