History

(Names have been deleted but a complete history of this car and all cars built by Norcorss Tabin Manufacturing is available.)
N.T.M. Chassis #5 (S.C.C.A. roll bar designation 007 294) was completed on May 30, 1972 and sold to a customer in Chicago. He resold the car
without racing it to Owner #2, then powered by a Cosworth 1800 BDE. Again, after never racing it, Owner #2 sold it to Owner #3 in April 1975.
Owner #3 raced the car with the Cosworth 1800 BDE and a Hart BDF engine in S.C.C.A. out of the Detroit Region. Owner #3 determined the major
shortcomings of the car were braking, not getting the tires up to racing temperature and engine cooling. In an attempt to solve these problems
he replaced the rear mounted radiator with two side mounted V.W. radiators, ducting the hot air onto the rear tires, a successful attempt to
get the tires up to racing temperature and provide the additional cooling. Owner #3 also determined the front brakes were "marginal, only
lasting 15 laps at Elkhart Lake". He later determined the brakes were wearing because of the brake pads did not pull back from the rotors
due to spindle flex. The car was crashed heavily at Nelson Ledges in the fall of 1977 destroying the body, breaking the front suspension off
at the outboard hiems joints and damaging the rear uprights. With all this damage the monocoque tub and Owner #3 remained unhurt.
Owner #3 sold the car, after the wreck, to Owner #4 who removed the FT200 and the Ford, reconfiguring it with a 1000 cc Suzuki engine for
D/SR. Owner #4 also fitted the car with a Mark II body, purchased from Steve Norcross. In this configuration it held a lap record at
Waterford Hills. Owner #4 sold the car to an unknown subsequent owner who sold it to Chrysler Corporation of Detroit. Chrysler Design
[Styling to the old fashioned guys] Office was investigating various low cost sporty concepts to rev up the Plymouth image. With budgets
being extremely tight in the early 80's they bought the NTM tub as an appropriately sized, ready made, drivable buck for styling mock-ups.
The Design team bought the tub and a standard KZ1000 engine. The previous owner kept the racing engine. A member of the Chrysler design
team bought the Mk2 body and mated it to a Lola T440 FF. Chrysler moved the car to their Chrysler Pacifica operation in Encinitas,
California in 1986. Chrysler Pacifica removed the engine and used it in some developmental work. Owner #6 bought the car from Chrysler Pacifica
in 1987. Owner #7 bought the car from Owner #6 in 1993 and immediately sold it to the present owner.
