I think the bigger question is: Is the former Group 44 car strapped on top of 
the red car with two roll bars supporting it?

Obviously there is no drive train but I can?t imagine that being very stable.

Interesting

"Can this car be saved? Should it be saved? If you re-body some, or all of it, 
have you really saved it?"

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.
