Got this one Glenn?

Photographer grew up in the same neighborhood and we ran in the same circles. He’s Chris Foley’s cousin I think.

Probably BIR...

Yup
Interesting story about that car...
A friend that I race with owned it for many years and it wasn't until he decided to sell the car that I learned it was one of the IMSA cars i was looking for. He had logbooks back to the 1970's.

Small world isn't it

It is a small world. The photographer has been taking race pics since the ‘70’s. I’d bet he’d have some IMSA 914shots for you. Jerry Winker. He’s one of my FB friends if you want to look him up.

Glenn,
Tom Provasi refers to his car as an IMSA car. Zone 7 people. This is his wife’s 60th birthday present to him.

I remember when Tom and Sandy bought that car. (The "Orange Crate".) It was white at the time, looked like gel-coat. But it did have an IMSA history; he has the documentation of when and where it ran.

He sold his BRIGHT PURPLE four-cylinder racer to another local, John.

Tom & Sandy's 914/6 has been racing since 1972, it was last raced in IMSA in 1981.
This is the car formally known as the Orange Crate. They restored the car in about 2014, all of its former liveries were still present under the orange paint.

My favorite has always been the Garretson enterprises car. I used to visit there shop and bought a lot of parts from them when I lived in Sunnyvale. They went out of business many years ago. I heard it was income tax related. Where is that car now?

The black IMSA championship car is restored and located in FL the red autocross car is being savagely dismembers for an ill conceived 904 conversion.

Now I understand the 'furor'. Interesting....

What's the value of a true IMSA 914 these days?
