I think Jim's statement here answers it all.
My limited knowledge of SVRA rules tells me that Cary's car could run in
Group 10, the group that is the "catch all" of cars that don't meet their
strict criteria.
The following text is from the SVRA website:
SVRA Group 10 Detailed Rules
1. Eligibility: Select GT Sports cars and Sedans as raced after 1972. All
cars must have been built or modified to compete in a recognized racing
series. Exceptions must have specific approval in advance of entry application.
2. Modifications: As listed in the SVRA General Rules and Regulations and
as appropnate for the make and model as it competed in a recognized racing
series during this period. It is the responsibility of a competitor to
provide documentation for any specification that is not generally
considered appropriate.
3. Tires: Appropriate sized slicks or treaded tires. Certain "series" cars
and classes may have a specific list of spec tires. These will be listed on
a Supplemental Regulation for that class.
4. Classes: Due to the newness of this group, there will be a certain
amount of experimentation with the class structure.

This probably was the thinking behind Group 10...
