Here's an old, faded photo I took with my Kodak Brownie box camera of GC's car in the Bristol infield following the March 19, 1967 Southeastern 500:

hi, i bought the car years ago, the car was in a barn and five years ago i talked to GC Spencer on the phone and told him i bought the car and i was asking him about parts he might have and i was hoping to restore it before he passed away. He told me he had bad lungs and couldnt do much and he had to have oxigen tank and he said he wasnt interested because that was years ago and he sold his equipment to another team. When i bought the car is was a Magnum and i changed it back to the Charger which might have been a mistake and i got in touch with one of his drivers , John A Utsman, and he came to my home to look at it since he was on his way to Daytona Speedweeks and i took a picture of him with me for my scrap book.

I used to have a Nascar liscense and i would call Frank Warren to be a gofer to help for three years and i was just a fan of the sport and spent time in the Nascar garage and walked around and talk to some of the drivers between 1976-1978.

hi , thanks for calling me tonight about the history of the racecar and your dad, Who built the car if you know cause i would like more complete history of the people who were reponsible for putting the car on the racetrack or was this an older chassis by another team that GC Spencer bought and finished? help me if you can, James and i hope you call again or send me updates if you can.
