I found that picture in an old magazine about 20 years ago and posted it on a few web sites looking for info on it.
I got a reply on a drag racing site from a guy who knew Tony Pizzi. He didn't remember the 67 Z but remembered Tony's 68 Camaro 302 drag car. He said it ran very well and Tony had more success with the 68 I think the 67 Z with the "Yenko Sportscar Dealers" sponsorship was part of the early 1967 Yenko Camaro program before Yenko teamed up with Dick Harrell and expanded the 67 drag racing program.

Yenko was very busy in 1967 with racing and sponsorship
Don ran a 1967 L88 Corvette that was a twin of the Dana L88 that went to LeMans Jerry Thompson won the D/P National Championship in a Yenko Stinger and ran the 67 Camaro Yenko sponsored 3 Dick Harrell drag cars with the Yenko Super Camaro Dealers sponsorship an AHRA Super Stock 427 Camaro and 2 funny cars

the Stinger site lists the YS 005 Jerry Thompson Stinger as "distroyed"
I heard the 67 Yenko/Harrell Camaro FC was found but not sure The 67 L88 Yenko Corvette and the twin Dana Corvette have both been shown as restored I don't recall if any others have been found
