The story I was told from Carl Thompson ( on the# 68 79 factory car) who was the KEY guy at Vasek Polak racing for years was it was leased from Porsche / Hoppen by Field for Le Man, after Le Man it went back to the factory and was further developed (body work and intake & intercoolers, test car) later Polak ended up with the car as he did with many of the "left overs" from the Factory. It sat in Polak's warehouse for years and was sold to Bruce Ziegler and resold in to Japan. How do I know this? I tried to buy it but to rich for my blood at the time. I did buy the car out of Japan a few years ago and sold it to Lloyd Hawkins. The owner of the car in Japan had it as a street car with Motec........ It only has one race on it, Le Man. The car that I owned was also a 79 Factory Interscope car that won Daytona. It was bought from the Polak collection as well.
Second motor being built up from NOS parts I bought from Polak and a John Fitzpatrick long block I bought years ago from John.
