But, it seems that of all that were built, you have the one that no one has any knowledge of. Suppose that may be because no one "Big Name" owned it so few if any took pictures of it at any track.

I agree with you 100%.
Kind of a catch 22 deal tho. The above reason is probably why my car never recieved any of the major mods most of the other cars did, to stay competitive with the ever evolving class, or changing the car up to run M/P or Pro Stock. The limited info I have on it so far is that the car never ran well back then. It probably never saw a race track on a regular basis. Maybe only a couple times? Would definately explain the lack of pictures & info on it.
So, even tho I may not have a car with any of what I call "pedigree" history, that may have been what saved it from the sawzall
I can't find any info regarding which dealership it was purchased through. Doesn't look like it came out of any NY dealership @ this point anyway. Possibly one out of Mr. Norm's????? I believe the numbers of the cars from him was rumored to have been 13???. I have spoke with Norm a couple times about this, but there is no way of tracing that theory either because he had that fire back in 68 or 69 that destroyed alot of the paper work he had, including the sales slips to these cars.
In short, I haven't given up on finding this cars background, as I sure would like to get some names attached to it previous to 1980. But, because of it's no name status, it sure isn't making it easy. I NEED THAT ONE NAME TO GO THE NEXT STEP. That one name, I'm sure, will break open a whole new avenue of possibilities.
