The first 69 Camaro to get a ZL-2 hood is ZL-1 #1 built in Norwood although there is supposedly a documented Z-28 with a ZL-2 hood that was built in Los in late Dec.
There were no Pace Cars built with the 350/255 engine as all Pace Cars were SSs and would have had a 350/300 as the base engine.
And if you don't believe me, ask Tom Kasch to post some early pictures of Stockers and Super Stock 69 Camaros and you will notice that all of the 350/255 cars have flat hoods.

Thank you Billy ............It's my understanding that this entire matter was started by a racer who protested another racer - not the NHRA .
