[Fot] Information request on old GT6 race car

[gt6steve at aol.com]

Look carefully on the rollcage for the SCCA scrutineers stamp.  They may be
able to find references in their archives.  SCCA used to have a historian but
I don't know anymore....

Two requests for pictures already :-)  I'm not at his house right now, I'll
get him to send me some.  No logbook, and any evidence of tech stickers has
been removed by a previous owner's early attempts to "restore" the car.  :-(
I will post pictures to photobucket once I have them.

Thanks,

Jamie
