Whats the story and maby I can give you some clues. I have been here for 44 years and live near the old VV Cooke lot.VV Jr had a bunch of old Corvettes when he closed so I wonder if it was one of them??

Re: 71 Can Am Roadster maybe in Lou. Ky area
 

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.
