Currently disconnected but easily replumbed.Also has a set of Hella Rallye endurance racing add on lightsset up on a frame that attaches to front of car (period correct).Although the car is an SVRA Group 6 car, I do not have the actual medallion.I do have the framed certificate and it is on file with SVRA. The previousowner’s wife would not give it to him in a nasty divorce (just adds to thehistory).I met with Zack Spratlin (Owner who had the car race-prepared and raced itwith 7-11 sponsorship in the 1970’s). He gave me all of his trophies and 16mm film of the car on many famous Southern tracks (the car was from the Georgia area). I had the film converted to tapes and its now time toconvert to other digital media.When my wife and I met with him he told me that he had tried to find thecar to buy it back many years after he had originally sold it. However, hewas not able to find it. The ironic part is that I bought the car not morethan 10 miles from where he lived. It was stored in a trailer on a main roadthat he traveled daily to work. He passed by it regularly.When Zack Spratlin owned the car, he had an accident in West Pal Beach, Flwhich took off the windshield and destroyed the front clip. He replaced thefront clip with a 1966 front clip. The only difference between the two yearsis the style of the side vents. So, everyone thought it was a 1966 for manyyears and that is why they had trouble finding its history and the originalowner. This is all documented in a letter to me from Zack Spratlin.When I purchased the car, I updated the wiring of the car, and added someadditional components (such as re-installed the headlights and addedoptional alternating blinking head lights, maintained the original stylevintage gages and original vintage fuse block attached to the dashboardand added a set of brake bias gauges).CAR HISTORY1967 -1969 – Street car. 427-425 hp, f41 suspension, maroon/black.1970 -1977 – Zack Spratlin – Stone Mountain, Ga.1972 – Fully race prepared by E.J.
