I would look throught the photos on the RSC web site and also go to Tam's web site and ask them to post a photo of the car and whatever history you have . Maybe that will turn something up

Tom and I have reviewed all the history of the era. Both Bondurant cars have been found and restored. There were two 1959 cars, the Crown Sapphire # 614 Harry Washburn car that Steve Earle owns, and the 59 white / silver / red car that Paul Masse owned.

Many people are familiar with the Washburn Chevrolet Crown Sapphire #614 car raced by Bob Bondurant in 1959. What people don’t know that in 1959, Bob started the race season driving Paul Masse’s white / silver / red fuel option convertible with all the HD parts. Bob only changed cars in mid season, as he got free sponsorship from Shelly Washburn at the Santa Barbara Chevy dealership.

Bob won the B/P Pacific Division Cal Club SCCA title that year, and competed in over 15 races that year in both cars.
