...I moved my request to here so I would "Hi-Jack" any more threads...
I have a March 783, -(not a 79FSV). My chassis is #026, one of only 11 total F3 cars produced during 1978. They did not make a FSV in 78, rather they sent over two 783 F3 cars minus any components required by the series (engine mounts, calipers, gearbox adapters, etc...). From what I can gather, these two cars were the "mule's" used to evaluate competitiveness of the chassis in the US FSV series and create the VW FSV "kit"or 1979. I am not sure if Dennis drove, one or both of the chassis'. I believe that the cars did not run until mid-season. The car was entered by either Wilbur Bunce, or Mike Rogers.
Also, I have no knowledge of what happened to the car, or who drove them during the 1979 and 1980 series, but one was retained and used during the first half of the 1979 campaign. I do know that the car was last raced in '81 at "Mike Hull Racing" (the Mike Hull, of Target Chip Ganassi Racing) and then "stored" in the rafters of a shop until 2004.
If anyone has contact for the above mentioned people, especially Mr. Firestone, I would greatly appreciate an introduction, so I can try to piece together the history of my car.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Chris
