Good point.
The numerical SCCA stamp.
Yes, a real key.
The GT6 guys seem eager indeed.
Cool.

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
