It was Orient Red with red interior, black seats with red piping, and grey carpets. A LHD model exported to North America.<\/p>\n<p>The current owner is Francois Schnyder living in Etoy, Switzerland. He is trying to get some history on this car while it was in the US for over 30 years. He has contacted NAMGAR, but unfortunately this car was not registered with NAMGAR, as far as we can tell.<\/p>\n<p>The car has chassis (VIN) number YM3\/1381, engine number 16G\/U\/910, and body number 61857. In 1989, the car was exported from the US to France, and a workshop there did a partial restoration at which time the car was repainted black.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Schnyder2014-04-05_18.18.00_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Francois Schnyder Twin Cam Coupe\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Schnyder2014-04-05_18.18.00_resized.jpg 500w, https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Schnyder2014-04-05_18.18.00_resized-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is some evidence that a car like this might have been used at Sebring as a track safety car.<\/p>\n<p>If you recognize this car, please contact <a href=\"mailto:francois.schnyder@bluewin.ch\">Francois Schnyder<\/a> directly on email.
