James Garner 1969 Baja 4X4

New note about this from Jim McKee ...
Hi Bob, Dave Landrith was at the Detroit AMO show, as was Shirley Shahan and Wally Booth.


Most of the original Baja SC/Ramblers were converted to 4-wheel drive for the race. A couple of years later, I sat on a bench with James Garner at Daytona and inquired about the Baja SC/Ramblers. His American International Racing group had two Lola-Chevrolets in the race and I was working in the next pit. He said he didn't know what became of the cars and thought they were junked after the race. There was a magazine article showing several of the cars. I don't think I kept a copy, because the cars were heavily gutted for the rollcage and the front differential and there wasn't much SC/Rambler stuff remaining.


Hey all ,
Should be posting soon of one of the ten 1969 Baja cars . Which is currently being restored .
