Ok after a closer reading of the ad, looks like this body matches the body of "a" Red JJ car driven by Pete Williams for Jungle (I should have read the ad closer).



From the site above, the PW JJ car does seem to me to match the same body type of the one for sale.


Quote:
In 1970 JJ's red Camaro was added to Fleer's AHRA Official Drag Champs series of baseball card sized trading cards. Back side of card stated "Jim Liberman earned the nickname "Jungle Jim" when he was handling the wild, early Funny Cars since driving them was like taming a wild animal... Always a showman, Jim puts down some of the best smoke filled burnouts around and performances to match." Amen to that!!! (Card courtesy of the Attic Collection, photo by Jon Asher)

So, it seems that the blue car was based on a 72 Camaro and the Red car a 70.
