| Car(s) History |
Only have sketchy idea of cars history as follows: The previous owner purchased the car from a gentleman who purchased it from Hollywood sports cars. It is thought to be the car used for the driving scenes in Viva Las Vegas. It is believed that there were two cars used in the movie, one for the indoor garage shots and another for the actual racing scenes.
I am working on getting more information from anyone who might know more about this part of the history. Meanwhile the previous owner raced te car in the midwest up until a few years back wehn it was restored and then put away for me to find 5 years later.
Serial number thougth to be 002.
