SOLVED: FW #13 Gullwing Corvette'64-65, Doug Thompson, named 'Condor'

Not 300 SL, but....
Please be so kind and identify this car (no lock for make and type of the base car):
Name? Base? Builder? When? ...
Good luck...

Name "Condor" is correct, base "1963 Corvette" too, but my source names another builder....

Perhaps you are looking for a name...Jason Betts...he stored the car for Jack Walker & took these phots of the car.

I will give you a hint: My source states a far earlier appearance of this car than 1970 (as stated on the Kustomrama-page),...
...and you can find the builder's name of my source, mentioned in the 'Jack Waller article'

I will guess the Dick Harrell Shop in Kansas City built the car.
