very cools pics.
I was fortunate enough to drive there with COM in the early 90's in my GTV6. In fact, I have fond memories of driving there during Tropical Storm Danielle!

The Town of Bridgehampton should be disgraced for that sacrilege

The 5 car looks just like a car that was on e-bay a few years ago. The car was a real rust bucket, without engine or trans, but the owner wanted $5k since the car came with a logbook and old tech stickers.

Anyone else remember that car being sold?

If you happen to come across a picture of a blue 240Z car, C-production, number 16, I would love to have a copy. We raced against Newman for years, both there and the NER SCCA National circuit. The car was originally blue in the early days, later changed to white, when we swicthed to GT-2.

I ended up with that "rust bucket" It's a cool car that was put together by Gary Rutherford for him and Dave Ammen. It was a race car right from day one- first year as CS (as depicted) w/ a 1300 then one year EP with a 1600 then many years (and logbooks) as a BS still w/ the 1600. Ended it's career as a GT 3 car- last raced 1983. All owners known and really not that rusty but needs alot of bodywork to put back to late 60s BS configuration. Ran at Bridgehampton many times according to the logbooks. Will pay for any period photos people may have of this car- next year we want to run some races back east with it.

Fred,

I may have a photo of your GTV at Thompson, CT in 1976. I think it was owned by a driver from CT named Joe Schiben - something? I'll check my boxes of racing photos and let you know.

You bought #5 from Bruce Fernie, right? In 1974 I bought my first Alfa, a G-Prod Giulietta Spider, from Bruce's father, John. The Alfa world is small.

Bill

Anyone see a similarity of the dark colored GTA on the right in the first picture and the ex-Lee Midgley GTA in Roman Tucker's garage?
