    Chuck...thank you mucho! Memory lane...and the Ginther prepped car for Alan Johnson? If I'm not mistaken, it's a "sister car" to the Silver Weenie car I posted about earlier...The 1965 GP list...Revson is on it...must have been not too long before his plane crash...Yeah, I was only a fan back then...but the memories.

    Very possible about the 'weenie' Paul, Ginther used to do comparably prepped 'customer cars' to his teams cars...

    I know there were a couple of 'customer' variants of the 2 E-production 914/4's, and 2 C/production 914/6's Ginther team cars a couple of years later...

    He WAS a businessman...

    Cheers

    Good news!!! ... got a call back from Tony Scodwell with permission to post pics from his book (I guess it wasn't as hard as I thought - Sherwood/Randy)

    So, expect more cool period black and whites on these thread...

    ... Tony said he has about 100 copies left from the first printing... the cover price was $19.95 ... not sure what he'd want + shipping.

    Chuck,
    I think what Paul is saying is that this is GOOD stuff! Us old folks have to show the young ones the "good old days".
    Chuck, BTW, do you still want those rear bumperettes??
