The PO didn’t know much but his history on the car stated he was the 3rd owner. The original owner had it built and used it for racing in the Poconnos. There are some SCCA badges on it but those could be bought anywhere. So I assume that the original owner may have made upgrades for racing. The PO did know that the gas tank was replaced with an extra large aluminum tank (32 or 36 gallons).

Pat,

Pocono area was my old neck of the woods, PM me some details on the history, and an email address so I can send you scans of the Contemporary sales documentation and order/option/pricelists of the time period.

Bill S.
