5R102 photo.  Bob Johnson painted this Ohio State Buckeye colors and Shelby demanded he change the color back to white/blue.

Recently posted on the "Remembrances of Elkhart Lake/ Road America" Facebook Group by Dennis Schrimpf.   Enjoy.

I am liking the R in that color. Isn't there some guy in Kansas who has an R painted dark blue with gold stripes? He has owned the car forever I think.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Found it. Memory did serve me correctly. Fred Hilbert is the owner and the article I read goes back to 2013. Car is or was in Kansas. And the stripes were yellow over blue paint.
