>> Interesting back story - I had to track it down. I knew the car and the
guy who owned it (no longer) from when I first started racing, his name is
Mark Louks. I had his contact info but first attempts were dead ends, old
phone and email, but tried a second email I had and it is active (
marklouks46 at gmail.com) he said I could pass it on. I hadn't spoken to him
probably since before or around covid, but when he saw my email he called
me, we chatted the other night for a long time and caught up a bit. In
short, he sold the car to a real estate buddy who owns a warehouse among
other things, and that is where whoever took the pics of the car(s)  Here's
a couple of interesting links mentioning Mark, note he was an FOT member

gonna grab a sandwich and go see his shop in the Southwedge in the next
week or two and he likewise would like to look mine over and come to
spectate at Watkins Glen Sept. VRG event
Cheers

PS - pic of 26A is my car, guy named Ed in PA (re)built it, I would not be
a bit surprised if he modeled it after Mark's car
