Hope his children are doing well.

Being defeated by the (gorgeous) McLarens is one thing, but the long string of DNFs is interesting.

Glad the G7As still exist.

- Phillip

Love it - congrats to everyone involved!!

- Phillip

^^^ Yeah, and you have to wonder why the car was so successful in "GT40" configuration and then almost terminally unreliable as a Can Am car.

- Phillip

Is this it?

- Phillip

Any vintage pics of these two in their Cam-Am configurations?

Would love to see those.

- Phillip

In among the photos was this old newspaper ad - maybe some of the history spelled out in this old clipping helps shed light on the asking price.

- Phillip

Pictures would be great!

- Phillip

^^^ Great site to poke around in - his son Graham is amazing also.

You can find prints of GT40s and a Daytona Coupe print.

Plus you can purchase original art at what I think are extremely reasonable prices.

- Phillip

Very, very cool and new to me.

Michael Turner is one of the best - this is from his book "Drawing and Painting Racing Cars".

- Phillip

Wow - extremely cool and interesting Rich!

Were did the advertisement appear? Magazine or racing program?

- Phillip

^^^ great book and a must for vintage Trans-Am fans.

Here is a closeup of the spoiler on my friend's TA Cougar that he just sold.

And also, here is a vintage photo from A.O. Smith of a Cougar with a prototype spoiler. They were considering including that as a part of the XR7-G package.

Hey there Mike -

I have the David Tom book and the Bud Moore book, thanks so much for the offer!

I really appreciate everyone's patience with me on this forum regarding Cougar stuff 

As I've said many times, these cars were all designed, engineered, built, sold and raced by many of the same people so you can really learn quite a lot by being open minded and looking at the big picture.

I actually did the decals for David Tom's Cougar also! Last I heard it was in the Larry Miller Museum.

Ed gets high marks from me!!

Always fun to work with him on projects.

I will check out this story.

Also, for those who haven't read John Morton's book, Inside Shelby American, it's a terrific read.
