Hard to fault someone from changing a vanilla wrapper to Gulfstream ,

Scott.

I can't imagine it being a different car. Looks from the documentation like it was originally WHITE.! Maybe that influenced Kelly's (Warren Hartman) decision to clone it into a GSX. Either way, it was Gulfstream blue when Tom Ulery sold it, and I never looked at the Fisher body plate. I guess that takes it out of the running as a replacement for Joe's old car.

The original steering wheel from my GSX is on that car. I had stumbled on to an NOS wheel, and Warren caught me at a what I will call weak moment. I supplied the rally clock as well. This all occurred about 1991 I think.

A local dirt track racer, Gene Whittnal, had two pair of iron Stage 2 heads for sale. Trey Musgrove bought the set that had been ported by Crane, and Kelly bought the other pair, which If I recall, were unmodified. It always pained me a little that neither set stayed here in Columbus, but both pair sold on running cars, and I just wasn't in a position financially to acquire them.

Do you still own the car?

EDIT:

HERE THEY ARE.!!!. I wonder now if there is white paint under the blue. Blue on the back side as well.

I bought the car from Scott, and it has changed hands several times since, and I believe now it resides in TX. It is now a 4 speed, and no longer has the Stage 2 parts.
