------Bob Bondurant had a 60 as well and it also has been accounted for. We had it at Classic Motors way back about 1980. It also had been turned back to street duty (but just barely) and painted black. It had flairs and other modifications as well. One of the mechanics was out screwing around in it one day in front of Classic and while powershifting at about 70/75mph the hardtop took a side trip straight up about 50/60 feet in the air. Turned out it wasnt bolted down. He didnt get his Christmas bonus!!! Last I knew, Jack Podell had the car..........Bill S

Hi Bill,
It was the Paul Masse 1959 car, not a 60. Jack sold it to John Goodman in Seattle in 2006. John restored it and took it to Bondurant's Driving school in April 08, and Bob drove it and John learned the course all over again in a solid axel Corvette. What most people don't realize is this car was raced by Paul and Bob in 59, and Bondurnt won 6 of the 15 races that year driving this car. The paperwork is impecable. Window sticker and all titles, including Buxbaum when you guys bought it from Gary Newer in 1975. I have copies of everything.
