IROCMParts: No I do not remember it being fully caged. It was fully decalled asr Stewart's Chev/Olds and raced at Toronto Players Challenge along the lakeshore. Some of the parts were only on the car for the race and then were to be sent back to GM.

I just find the radio funny. Factory race car, with radio. Guess it made the long races easier.

Hey, is there any chance you can post a pic of that sticker on top of the plemum. The one that says something about this engine intended for off-highway use only. Please, please, please. Oh, some pics of the yellow paint marks on the engine fasteners, if they are still there.

There are also marks that cannot be seen by the naked eye to ensure to the inspectors that the engine had not been modified...

I found another for sale... I cant tell if its the same type but its a thirdgen racer non the less. Here is a link to an ebay ad for a vette race car, this is not for the thirgen but if you look in the pictures there is a thirdgen racer right next to it, as its a dealer I'm sure its for sale. Would contact them myself but I dont have the cash so I thought someone might be interested

A clip clamps on that and holds the Throttle Cables cleanly and neatly in place.
