    Used to be a place in Dallas that built replica's of the GS, and I heard they would sell bodies--but much gold would be needed to get one.

    My FiL was Named Bob Adams.
    He bought the GS at daytona in 1969,he raced it a few years and then parked it in a small garage in Daytona.
    He got wind of a GS reunion being held in Sebring Fl and he dug the old girl out and trailered her down.
    Duntov was on hand and he and Bob became good friends.
    Bob had a photo album with pics from when his can was built new,and Bob and car were on the cover page of some car mag.
    Bob had T shirts printed of the GC reunion and i still have one.
    My BiL had the photo album for a long time,but who knows where it is today.

    This is Wintersteen's roadster that I took the slide of at the Glen in '66. And if you read all the text, I also have a side of the Penske/ Donahue T70 driving thru the infield before the crash- here is that same T70, completely restored, at Sears Point a few years ago- thought I saw a ghost! Also have a slide of a newer Penske/Donahue T70, in the winner's circle at the Glen in '67

    Gorgeous. I can't imagine messing with valve adjustments when running the weber set-up but it was likely only done prior to each race. The webers would need to be removed just to access and remove the valve covers.

    It was also a pain in the ass to remove the lower carb bolts....

    Here's a couple more shots of that T70 that I took. Awesome car! 808E8C56-F796-4EBC-9201-3ECF413BD2AB.jpeg 6288793C-2D25-417D-96C5-6CCD0E8F8AA2.jpeg

    That sounds like a 'Vette oughta! W.O.T. must be epic! I wonder what it sounds like with the kick stands open?

    Perhaps they just installed a new engine instead? LOLOLOL. I bet they had plenty of spares, eh?
