Hi Kurt! I have one of these parade cars with Canadian documentation currently undergoing restoration. Those are the exact options. There is another in western Canada and another was a no sale at a RM Auction in 2022. They were shipped as GM of Canada Company. There is a black and white picture circulating the net with 6 of them loaded on a transport hauler with one car having a headlight door open and the other closed.

I have come across some cool color film footage on Youtube that shows that multiple yellow 1969 Camaro RS/SS Convertibles with Endura bumpers were used to parade some of the race drivers around the track prior to the Labatt's 50 SCCA Can-Am event held at Le Cirquit Mont-Tremblant, St. Jovite, Quebec, Canada on June 15, 1969.  The other drivers were chauffeured around in multiple orange 1969 Firebird 400(?) convertibles and multiple green 1969 GTO convertibles.  See the footage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_-3wo6uiAw  The title is mislabeled "1968" but it is definitely 1969.

There were 12 or more 1969 Camaro RS SS yellow convertibles that GM of Canada used as promotion to parade drivers for 1969 Can-Am series. They were all identical with 396-325 hp, auto, standard white interior, remote mirror, deluxe belts, endura, cowl hood, chambered exhaust and all of them were shipped to Canada on May 7, 1969.
