I know that car well, I did quite a bit of work on it around 1980 at my shop in Santa Barbara, Jennings Auto Marine. Those are mag GT40 wheels. The owner at the time was using the car at track days. The engine was tired, I rebuilt and blueprinted the engine (original 5 bolt) with forged pistons, correct clearances and the good stuff of the day, roller rockers etc. The heads were mildly ported and I had a special cam ground for the Weber carbs. I also did some suspension work on the car to make the lower control arms adjustable so I could get the camber needed for the Goodyear Blue Streaks. It is a modified car, but the modifications were done extremely well and is a representation of what would have been done to a car raced in A or B production in the mid 60s. I do not think it has been driven much in the last 20 years. It is a beautiful car.

That “for sale” sign on the car’s window puts the final period in the debate about the answer to the question “is it real?”
