[Fot] Group 44 car found

Yeah! I’m pretty sure that’s the way it works. Poetic License or something like that. It may be peculiar to the Auto Hobby. Bill Dentinger

So if you have George Washington's axe and the head falls of and breaks and you replace it and a few years later the handle is rotten and it breaks and you replace it, is it still Washington's axe?

"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.
