Yes # 4 is at the Revs Institute (Collier Museum), but due to Covid the museum is presently closed.

Interesting Serial #3 (numbered 65 in the photos) is listed as Bob Patterson's in Vette Vues with a photo of the serial number. John Cannon was listed as the driver of the Dec 3 1963 Nassau race - finishing 8th.
Did Patterson own 2 of the cars?

----As far as I know, Bob's GS was #4. The confusion came from the racing number which for some reason was 3. Bob kept the original racing number and that has caused interesting comments for years. Bob also owned only one Grand Sport!.....Bill S
