James Garner's AIR built other race cars as well.

Who knows what else they built?

In 69 AIR campaigned a couple of Lola T70's,for Daytona and Sebring,and also a Surtees TS5 in the Formula 5000 series.They ran AMC scramblers in the Baja as well,but AMC pulled thier sponsoprship and the team dissolved at the end of the year.I went to a function at the Peterson museum a couple of years ago and they showed Garners racing documentary that chronicled that 69 season-all the team drivers were there including Garner,and I think Roone Arledge who produced the movie.Some great stories from that event for sure
