Was that the shop that was next door to TRACO on Jefferson Blvd in Culver City? Great pictures.

James Garner's AIR built other race cars as well.

Who knows what else they built?

Very cool pictures; do you suppose that these cars could have been the inspiration for the Phase III GT's paint scheme? I definately see a similarity.

I think Fred is asking another cool question (that he has the answer to)!

I'll take a wild guess and say the Mustang that was used in Bullitt..

In 69 AIR campaigned a couple of Lola T70's,for Daytona and Sebring,and also a Surtees TS5 in the Formula 5000 series.They ran AMC scramblers in the Baja as well,but AMC pulled thier sponsoprship and the team dissolved at the end of the year.I went to a function at the Peterson museum a couple of years ago and they showed Garners racing documentary that chronicled that 69 season-all the team drivers were there including Garner,and I think Roone Arledge who produced the movie.Some great stories from that event for sure

That is pretty cool

...thanks for posting. I knew he had some racing but never knew it was to that extent.

Wonder why Jimmy Rockford drove a Firebird instead of Vette or Camaro with that type of background?
