Very rare color of a 1967 L78 Camaro

A 1967 Royal Plum with Beige/Light Fawn (off-white) top has surfaced. It was apparently made into a race car and painted different colors in 1969. The original drivetrain is gone but it may still be in the Orlando area.

Well I was initially very very suspect of this car, its tag authenticity and the original color.  Others thought the tag was fine. I guess they were right and I was wrong. 

This car is named Lightning. There was another car prepped in an almost identical manner, raced as Thunder. Thunder was not a big block car originally.

The cars were painted in this scheme by Bo Laws. They were lettered and raced by the Vincent brothers. If you know any race history on them or location of any of the original drivetrain components of the L78 car, please post here.

Mike Laws was apparently a previous owner (son of Bo Laws who raced a 1969 Camaro) but I am told the driver was Fred Kinney.

There might be some information on the race team in the October 1969 Car Craft Magazine.

I am in contact with the current owner and will post additional details as they become available. He is going to try to find black on the tail pan and will be sending for NCRS Shipping data tomorrow.

As cool as it would be original I feel it's best left alone as a race car. Bolaws was in all the magazines back then. Very good find for the owner.
