Default 69 RS JL8 Z-28

First off, WOW what a great board! You guys seem to really know your stuff and I have really enjoyed reading everything.
That brings me to my question... Since you guys seem to know where rare cars are, I thought I would ask if you knew anything about this one.
It was a 1969 RS Z-28 that I have figured out was probably a very rare car. My father bought it new in '69 but it was too much for him to drive every day so he sold it.
Based on what he has said, I believe it to be one of the few factory racers out there. He described it as follows..
-4 wheel disc brakes
-NO spoilers on front or rear
-NO ducted hood
-Had "no mufflers" just "crimps every six inches or so"
-Ran so wicked it would barely idle and produced fumes that would cause people in parking lots to ask him to shut it off.
-Fathom green on deluxe green interior. Floor shift with no console or guages.
The car was bought new in Decatur, GA and wholesaled in Stone Mtn, GA... both suburbs of Atlanta.
I know this is like finding a needle in a haystack, but I figured based off of its uniqueness that if anyone had ever seen it they would remember it.
Thanks guys and I really appreciate the board!

There is an original picture attached as well. I could not figure out how to get it pictured in the post.
