History

The current owner has logbooks that start in 1979. the car was at that time bodied as a convertible and raced in B/P (SCCA). the owner believes the car was raced as an IMSA GTO car prior to the log book issued in 1979. Photos of the car in 1973 at Daytona and 1977 at the Watkins Glen 6 Hour have the same paint scheme as the car does in the 1979 logbook. The IMSA photos show the car being raced by "Alex Davidson" who resided in Upstate New York. The 1979 logbook shows a"Peter Bus" as owner who resided in Connecticut on the New York State border.
