It is a new year and there were some neat race car finds in 2007. Example, Janet Gutherie, Donna Mae Mims, and Suzy Dietrich's old Alpine that ran the 24-hours of Daytona. Also, George Lacy's old Alpine that raced in the early 60's. I wanted to point out two details... if you find them on an Alpine then there is a high probability the car was raced in the SCCA. Write me and I bet we can find out the details on the car.
Welded or modified throttle bracket
Upper engine mount added. Sometimes the upper engine mount is missing but the exhaust hanger still remains on the firewall.
Believe it or not, the last car I looked at which had these details showed no other signs of being raced. Zero visual clues that would suggest otherwise... however, records show that this car had run in numerous SCCA road race events from 1961-65 in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. This was "production racing car" and it was a classic example of how stock these cars looked. (Also, most of the racing modifications like the roll bar were removed for street use)
My point is to keep an eye out. Maybe 2008 will be even better. I would love to see some of the more notable west coast cars found.
