Just reading this thread. I recognized the Sputnik before I even read the seller's name. I'm only about 6 miles from George's home and shop, in between them.

Did you get a look at the 180 bundle of snake headers on his wall from his racing days?

George and I were discussing GT-40s one day, due to a photo he has in his office of about 40 of them. I told him I'd seen someone slide into turn 5 at Road America during a vintage race, and asked him how bad they could be and still be salvageable. He told me that as long as the data plate was intact, it could be fixed.

He recently sold that black GT40 that he found in Switzerland. Not sure when he got the blue one. I guess I'd better go visit soon.

Anyway, George has my total respect as a very interesting and honest guy. I hope you enjoy the car! Thanks for posting the photos.
