Not saying this is the case at all here, but there were a few cases where dealers/racers did not use an actual Z car. For a variety of reasons, they took what was available and made it look like a Z. Even in 1968, some dealers took drivetrain, doors and grill and taillights and made their 67 into a 68 !!

Some race cars were built from wrecked, or salvaged cars

I was told Tony's 68 was not a real Z

the Yenko/Thompson 67 road race car also with the Yenko Sportscar sponsorship was said to be built from a salvaged car


The 67 Z drag car with the "Yenko Sportscar Dealers" sponsorship may have been a real Z but don't know

The blue road race car was originally a 6-cylinder car Don bought at a dealer auction. It was prepared for Don to race by RST Engineering in MI.

The drag car with Yenko Sportscar Dealers on the quarter was a real '67 Z and was ordered/bought by Ollie Volpe.

I don't know any background on Tony Pizzi's white car.

Cool updates and love to hear more about any of these cars.
Here's another pic of the road race car w/ different # also a slightly clearer shot same as Joe posted above.
