History

As the 5th owner the car was traced to the Detroit area SCCA where it was run by the 2nd owner, Dennis Moothart. It moved to Canada and it's 3rd owner Bill Patrick in Windsor Ontario. Around 1986 it was imported back and run with the RCCA with Eric Colesante. I purchased it in 1996 and slow restoration had the car completed about 2 years ago. The car has seen very little use.
