54blackhornet, thanks for posting that. Some interesting pics, love those older Vettes. James Garner was not only a TV/movie star, he was quite an accomplished race car driver in his own right. In the mid to late 60s he was co-owner of AIR ...American International Race Team. He got hooked on doing his own race car driving when he starred in '' Grand Prix " (1966) and showed quite a knack for it. Raced L88 Vettes with some success and flair.

Take the time to watch the movie Grand Prix and see some great European Formula 1 racing. Great movie and Jim did most if not ALL of his own driving.
