Homewrecker,
Isn't that one the Greenwood Vettes?
I remember the Paul Revere 250 IMSA race in 73 or 74 at Daytona where John Greenwood was running one of his cars and I was running a Camaro that looked about as much like a Camaro as your car looks like a Vette. (The Camaro was a tube frame car and I think that John's was as well.)
The Camaro was able to run over 200 down the back straight and Greenwood drove right by me in practice.
We were both faster than the Monzas at that race. (They were driven by one of the Unser brothers and M. Andretti) (They also protested both Johns car and ours for not "meeting the spirit of the rules". I bet that they would not of done this if they were quicker.)
My Co-driver broke the gearbox in the warmup for the race so we did not run. (Bummer, I was really looking forward to having a go with the boys that day.) But that happens when you downshift into 1st instead of 3rd entering the infield.
One thing, the IMSA cars in those days were very serious pieces.
Congrats on getting that piece, you should a lot of fun with it. (I wish I had that old Camaro now, It would be great sport in vintage racing.)
