The candy apple Corvette Auto Parts car was driven in part by Pat Foster. I worked at CAP and was the young kid that got the job of color sanding and hand rubbing out that paint job. Later on I worked at J and D Corvette running the fiberglass shop.
The owners at CAP were Doug Kxxp and Don Kxxxy. Don was a painter on the Ford line before going into business. I still have the dual line air pressure regulator/water filter from the spray booth. You see, CAP was shut down by the police for receiving stolen auto parts. I quit 2 weeks before the raid. I'm still in touch with one of the ex employees that was taken into custody and then released, booked but not charged. The 2 owners were.
In another 2 years I was with Rex Ramsey on the Canadian tour when he drove the Formula A LeGrand. FA became F 5000 2 or so later. I was a 20 year old flunky with wide eyes when James Garner and Dicky Smothers walked by. I saw very young David Hobbs and Brian Redman, plus all the usual crowd many of whom went to Can Am.
Got paid 25 dollars a week, yes
week for 18 hour days plus food, a place to sleep (sometimes in the truck) and all the weed I could handle. The chief mechanic for LeGrand carried a ball of hash in his pocket that slowly shrank from the size of a ping pong ball. That was courtesy of....... no, I won't. Ramsey did win that year at Trois Rivieres. He broke or spun (I don't remember... heh he) at Mont Tremblant.
I might be able to tell you something about the LeGrand MK IV (was it?) going down the 405 in Sherman Oaks at 3 am for a shake down, but it was a
little foggy out.
