These are the panels off the Payne/Sheppard 1962 Sebring Alpine. You can still see the old number 43 on one of the panels. Finally, they will be reunited with the original chassis after 45 or so years. On the other you can see two "4"s. There is a theory that this was also the 1962 New York Auto show car. On the stand they displayed #41 the more successful Proctor/Harper Alpine. However, Don Yenko in the Corvette had sideswiped the Proctor/Harper Alpine. The damage was substantial. The theory is #43 was renumbered #41 for the show.

I can't wait to see them back on the car.

Neat!

I love being connected to this type of history. I believe that car raced at the old Marlboro track, here in the northeast US.

You've probably seen this photo, but for others reading, here's #41 after it got smacked by Yenko:

The #43 Payne/Sheppard car did run the tracks in the Northeast. Then it was owned by Len Amato and then Scott Dietz.

Hey, I don't suppose anyone out there has entry list or results from Marlboro or Vineland do they?
