Please help find my race cars past.

[velocealfa]

I recently purchased a 58 veloce spider race car that has never been street legal and is 100% original... the engine is correct for the year but is not matching numbers... i'm sure that is a farely hard task especially for a race car. It has the number the faded numbers 88 and of course... its red. From what i know it raced on the east coast and ended up in a major collection by a n industrialist in atlanta. After the owner died the collection was sold off... from what i know the owner of the collection had quite the alfa collection. I had the engine and transmission completly restored and the brakes are next. I plan on leaving the car the way it is for the time being and making it a great car to drive but since i'm a student i cant afford the full restoration. I was wondering if anyone out there may have any info on this car from it's past owners or racing background. I'll be sure to post pictures asap to help the search. Thanks fellas hope you can help me out... all i'm looking for are past owners and any possible vintage photos of the car.

Check with Paul Spruell. He and the collector you mention were closely aligned and Paul may have some recollection of the car or it's history.
