Thing to remember is anything can be modified and over the years possibly has been. so in this case the cage is different but does the rest of it look right? As you say John, we need fresh eyes to have a closer look.

Theres not much that can be added, here on the forum, but life around Andy was an experience, for sure. He was living in Florida, is anyone in touch with him?

Fair point Herb, but the car we're seeking has a 5 point cage, and this one has a 6 - I doubt that anyone would retro-fit a 5 point.... But the rear wing looks about right.

Happy new year
