The last vintage race of 5R539 in hardtop form was in mid 1972 according to the race pass, and it was parked in the Jüntgens body shop for the 1973 season due to other race cars being used by the team, finally removed to a wrecking yard acc. to all the owners, later attempts to find any remaining traces of it failed.
That is where that story of the 5R539 hardtop body ends.
It is easy to verify and authenticate the other car in Belgium with a Ford VIN. As of now it is only registered due to previous owners or current owners input, the sections "Verification" and "Guarantee" in the SAAC bible on page 6/7 refer to that kind of status. If a VIN and a visible stamping is verified and authenticated one day on that other body, the story of 5R539 is continued. If not, it ended 1973.
