Have you contacted the last known owner? If so, what did he say? I just did a search on the name and there are several "D. James" in KY. Start calling.

I have no knowledge of the car. I live in New Jersey. Please post a picture of the car.

So was it a real race car with all the correct racing equipment or was it a street crusier?

There was one like you describe with Eckler bodywork, that rolled at Hallett back in the early '80's.

The car was a total at Hallett back in '79 or 80. It was not the car you are looking for. That one was a regular race car and could not have been driven on the street.
