Re: original 17 factory race car

Unknown

Pete,

I would love to see photos of that car, perhaps you could do a write up for

the WTN (great article on the 13's last month).

The photo of the race car in WTN sometime ago was very good. Much clearer

than in Butler's book. Also the picture, loading of the car in AMC family

album is clear.

A couple of questions.......Is that an oil tank on the left hand side? Maybe

the engine ran a dry sump. Does the car inSan Francisco have a drilled

front axle?

Are there any other books or history on these cars?

John
