I Also Found That Photo Somewhere On The net, Sometime Back. It Always Intrigued Me . Looking At The Paint Job On The Car, Is There A Canadian Connection ? Some Where In It's Life ? I See From What You Have As A log, It Raced Mostly In The States. Or Is It Like The Dick Jordan GT 350 R ? It Had A Green Leaf Logo On The door, as Part Of The Paint. Perhaps Someone Just Liked The Look.

Eric, I also think that's the only vintage shot that I have of the car. It might be kind of fun to run your car's VIN through the Vintage Vehicle Services offered by GM Canada. It could tell you if the car was sold new in Canada and what part of the country it was from. I don't know anything about the original driver but it would be good to know if he was a Canadian or American racer.

[eb911]

Thank you. I think EARL HURLBUT was american. The car was purchased new at a GM showroom in Rome, NY.
I haven't found any Canadian connection so far.

[Jon Mello]

Don Davidson Motors in Rome, NY?  Did you get that information through the NCRS Muscle Docs service?

[eb911]

No I had it in the docs coming with the car.

I Ran The Picture And Info Past A Historical Group, I Belong To Here In Canada. So far The Only Two Things That Came up, Was That Earl Hurlbut Was S.C.C.A. N.E. Division Executive Steward In 2011.  Chip Boatright, Works For Or Owns GSB Realty In Mundelein Illinois. If They Still Hold These Positions ? ? This Might be Something Your Already Aware Of.

There was an Earl Hurlbut who raced a Corvette in the 1977 Watkins Glen 6 Hour sharing with Bob Baechle (#64 gold car pictured). The entry list has both drivers from New York.

Maybe the same guy?

[Jon Mello]

Wow, who doesn't love a gold race car? 

Eric, I sent you an email with the contact info for Earl Hurlbut and Chip Boatright (provided to me courtesy of Vince Howlett). Hopefully you are able to connect with them and they can fill you in on the early history of the car. Good luck!

[eb911]

Thanks to all you guys, I really appreciate.

[Jon Mello]

You're welcome.  I wonder if it turns out there is some racing history before Earl Hurlbut owned it.

Look at the driver line-up for that race - F1 guys, IMSA guys, Nascar guys, Trans-AM guys, FIA guys - quite the entry.

You're welcome.  I wonder if it turns out there is some racing history before Earl Hurlbut owned it.

It seems it had been prepared as a TA spec car from the beginning in 1967/68 but the first owner did not finish the car and it was then sold to Hurlbut in 1971 who finished the car the car and raced it.

[Jon Mello]

Is this something you found out by speaking with Earl Hurlbut or was it information that came with the paperwork that accompanied the car when you purchased it?

[eb911]

From the paperwork coming with the car. I have sent an email to Earl Hurlbut and Chip Boatright but no answer so far. I might give a cal in the following days.
