I have spoken with Chris several times about this car when in the US.

Hi Dale, I do recall reading that a while ago - are they restoring it back to 'willy spec'? There can't have been much left of the Roush car as didn't Don have it bodied & powered as an Oldsmoblie Cutlass or something like that?? Gee haven't we had (and still have) some amazing machines grace our shores. Another car I loved was Mark Petch's Trans Am Merkur that Kayne Scott won several titles in, and was sold back to a collector in the states for more than Mark paid for it back in 1989 / 1990. The 3dog Garage has a Roush Merkur but I can't remember if it's the Kayne Scott car or not, but given your connections I reckon you might be able to find out!!!!

Cheers,
