“The Green Car”
This car has been a race car since the mid 1990's. Originally built by father/son team of Will and Bill Perry of Rivergate Restoration Products in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee. They successfully raced the car for several years in SCCA's S.East Division in the ITD (improved touring D) class. This class allowed very few modifications. Their website once listed 11 wins for the car including three races of 400km/250 miles. It was also featured in a Grassroots Motorsports Magazine article in May/June 1998. Perry's sold the car in early 2000 to Dr. Robert Peet in Ohio. I purchased the car in May 2011 from Rick Haynes' Sports & Imports shop in Hebron, Ohio after he obtained the car from the Peet estate. I had examined and photographed the car at the "The Mitty" race at Rd. Atlanta in 1998. When Rick sent me pix of the car I recognized it instantly.
I am slowly rebuilding the car and plan to race it in Vintage events.
