It’s funny how they just plop the hood on top of the roof not knowing that that car would be so valuable.

Great pics and both appear to be the probable ZL1 early car.
No hood stripes as pic before York shot above also looks like the 9 on driver's windshield so possibly the same day?

Is that a modified cowl hood or a modified "stinger" hood, or neither?

I think neither. Looks to be a production standard hood that had a fiberglass stinger glassed in; then the tunnel-ram scoop added later.

Note that the top car says Strip Blazer Jr.
The bottom car says Strip Blazer Jr., but has the Jr up higher and something under it. To?

I think SS/E would be a 396/375hp. But he probably changed classes for AHRA and NHRA tracks.

they classified the cars by weight/horsepower so the car can go up or down a class depending on the weight and the NHRA-factored horsepower changed over the years so you will see them running in different classes

looking at old pictures for examples ,

the 1967 Jenkin's L78 Camaro ran in SS/C

the Strickler 1968 Z/28 ran in SS/E or SS/F
