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
