[Fot] Information request on old GT6 race car

[jason at multivintage.com]

Wherever it came from, a log book would be very nice, beyond that, much will be heresay. 
The fact that you say the roll cage looks good is a good sign, 
As well as much of the other stuff you mentioned sounds interesting
Except the lights as you allude.
A picture posted somewhere would tell volumes.

Subject: [Fot] Information request on old GT6 race car

Hi, folks--

I'm usually a lurker on this list, especially lately as our TR6
ChumpCar hasn't had any outings recently.  But a friend of mine has purchased
an old GT6 racecar that I'm hoping someone out there can help us identify.
The car is a 1970 GT6+.  Here's what we know for sure:

Commission number
KC80097L
Was originally maroon (Damson?)
Came to my friend with American
Racing "Silverstones", triple webers w/braided stainless lines for everything,
fuel cell, period (read '70's) racing seat and wheel, overdrive tranny,
stainless brake lines, oversized front anti-roll bar and a really nice rear
anti-roll bar.  
Fiberglass bonnet
Car was modified to have what look like
'70's Ford tailights (don't ask us why) horizontally across the back at some
point in time.  
Roll bar appears to be professionally constructed, car in
general is very "sanitary".
Old Koni shocks
Odometer shows less than 7k miles
Here's what we've heard, i.e. the rest is totally hearsay:
The car was bought
for racing use only and never titled
The car was raced in California
At some
point in time, probably in the last 10 years, the car was taken to Lanky
Foushee...don't know more than that other than that the car has supposedly
been in North Carolina for the past 10 years or so.

My friend is not
expecting this to be a "historically significant" car, but it would be nice to
know how to restore it.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?  Feel free to reply
off-list.

Thanks,

Jamie Palmer
Raleigh, NC
