| Re: gt40p/chassis #1029 As I mentioned in my original post, the original owner, Mr McKelvy (name and signature on the Ford Advanced Vehicles receipt for chassis 1029 as shown above), specifically remembers crashing the car in 66 and then paying a local farmer to bury it in a field. The thought was, the car is utterly destroyed, why pay to have it shipped back to the states?
To me the question is, how and when was the car exhumed from that field somewhere in the neighborhood of Le Mans? When did Gene Hamlin and William Schweiger purchase the remaining parts and from whom? Or does the remaining parts refer to items that were not on the car at the time of the crash?
Just curious.
Thanks
