The Carter family had dealerships in Hamilton(Maurice),Winnipeg,Calgary(Jack) and Vancouver(Howard). I am not sure if they were brothers but were all related. Mo was a serious racer. I was part of a team sponsored by Castrol in the early 70's and competed in the same races. We sourced many parts from him for our own 69 Camaro. In 1974 I got a quote from them for a new 1975 Camaro with an over the counter 1970 Version LT1 transplaned at the dealership. The conversion cost was not significant. A career change at the time killed the plan. I may still have the letter.

Anything you have, especially for the 1970 season will be appreciated. We understand that there may have been two 1969 cars raced that season. One was a vin # car off the dealership lot, the other a 'tub' car from the Penske stable that was acid dipped. Do you know anything about the two car story?
