Al Grinnan was driving an orange #00 Chevelle for Coleman Mann of Powhatan, Virginia around this time, but the other photo appears to show a North Carolina sponsor on the quarter panel.

According to the story at this Goggle link Al Grinnan began driving the car owned by Nelson Auto Parts (the sponsor on the pictured car) in the early 70s.So, this is an Al Grinnan Chevelle.

Our member Brian yezierski has a photo of one of the Coleman Mann owned #00 orange Chevelles being driven by Al Grinnan at Old Dominion Speedway - year unknown. Al won the 1973 NASCAR Virginia State Late Model Sportsman Championship in the Coleman Mann #00 Chevelle. Al Grinnan at speed at Old Dominion in the Coleman Mann #00 as posted by Brian Yezierski
