[Fot] Group 44 car found

		Use what’s salvageable, document via “truth is in the photo” during the restoration and you have an honest car. Or preserve as is and hang it from the rafters. Either choice would be good and appreciated by fans. MHO
PS - or restore the left side (left half) and leave the right half as is - right down the middle. Cool display as the life of a race car. 😀

Answers-

1- Anything can be saved

2- YES!

3- That's the tough one to answer, with no original parts remaining, it would pretty much be a "recreation".

And on another note, two more TR3s have just come into my life. Bill Emery has passed his late father’s two cars on to me, thinking I might be a good caretaker for them.




After talking to Bill and Bob Tullius, and reading through his dad’s correspondence I am convinced one of the cars, (the very rough yellow one) is the Group 44 car that Bob Tullius built for Donna Mae Mims to race in the 1965. I have also found the original red paint and pink paint on the car.





So this brings up some interesting ethical and technical conversations… (also lots to write about in Classic Motorsports). Can this car be saved? Should it be saved? If you re-body some, or all of it, have you really saved it? While I know, from correspondence that some of the Group 44 parts are on the red car, much of the Group 44 stuff is long gone.
