We could post them all in the same thread and really confuse the hell out of everybody!

Always some photo of a GS I've never seen. The white and black 427 I've seen but not the color one with the hood scoop, Looks like Webers or injectors but ran previously with two cross-ram 4 bbls. Any info on that pic (color) believe ran by Dave Greenblat. Jaques Coutre ran the #629 at Mosport or Mt. Tremblant, Canada in 65.

These pictures are from VIR racetrack, Sept 1968 SCCA Nationals Owner/Driver: Bob Adams, Driver Dick Boo The pictures are in the VIR history website, but the car is not listed in the ASR entry list for the event. There is another picture of it in 1971 at Daytona wearing the number 122. www.virhistory.com/vir/68-sept/scca.htmNotice the high tech tape numbers and letters. Thanks, Ismael

I absolutely admire your production line style of projects. Not sure if I can do that but you have inspired me to think about it for 3 C5R projects.
Thanks, Ismael
