[ QUOTE ]
James Garner's AIR built other race cars as well. Who knows what else they built? [/ QUOTE ] 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

Re: Pretty darn cool
I wonder if Bob Wingate had anything to do with the sale of the LA COPO?

Re: Pretty darn cool
Wingate (Clippinger Chevrolet) Corvettes were all ordered with lots of luxury options. I had a '68 L89 that I got from Charley and like all the Bob Wingate cars, it had lots of options for a high performance car. When I researched to Zone/Dealer number someone told me that my car should have nice options and it did. His clients were generally wealthy folks and he ordered high horse engines and luxury options like PS, PB and power windows. Generally, the Bob Wingate ordered cars came with highway gears instead of steep 4:11 gears.

Re: Pretty darn cool
Bruce.....good try. Late brake....BINGO on the Baja.
Cool car with a neat story. Remember I love the weird and wonderful. I'll get out and get some pictures, I used photobucket (that took a while to figure out) for the last ones and they sent me some notices about my limit being reached. The boys at work say we will be able to host pictures in the next couple months.
