See here
There were also the Baldwin Motion cars that came with an 11 sec. GUARANTEE. The '68 Phase III Camaro was guaranteed to run 11.50 with an appropriately licensed driver at the wheel. The cars were pretty far from factory cars, but they were sold as new cars with invoice and a warranty. Some info here.

Maybe this one was too modded?
The best 69 Camaro they list is ZL-1 427, 425 HP/460#', 12.76 @107, tested by MCR in 1987.
