I according to the builder, only eight or so were built by Wilson
Engineering. It's hard to say who drove the car throughout it's 30
some year racing history. I've found evidence of at least four
different engine types that were place between the rails, many of the
original tabs were sawed off and replaced by other mounts. Sure wish
this car could talk!
