[Fot] Group 44 car found

[Tim Suddard]

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.
