I have confirmation from Pete Hutchinson that it is an early SRD car and he personally built it

'

Cool news and best of luck backtracking the history!
Expecting it's not Grump's car but here's some SRD Vega info from his book including Pete Hutch pics also other stuff.

Thanks Pete. The car is a 1973. I bought the car from a guy in Wisconsin. He says his father in laws engine builder knows the cars history. But he has not given me a name. I am afraid to push him too much. He said he owned it about 14 years and bought it from a Rod Weideman. I can not seem to find anything on Weideman but still looking

History unfolding. I love it! Good luck with your search.
