Very Cool! The original owner of my Stinger raced on the James Garner team. He helped build the Ti22 Can-Am car.

Here is a link to the history:

The guy who did the Garner BAJA Oldsmobile resto thread had been in contact with Garner, man to listen to the stories about racing everything from L88's to the Baja races wow it would be incredible... however if memory serves his health may prevent travel.
