Thanks for posting, where did you find the photo?
no idea where i found that photo but sure would like to know the history of that car .
Is this a Peruvian car ?
It is one of the Peruvian cars. It was originally an automatic, but converted to 4 speed for racing. Teodoro "El Zorro" Yangali raced it. I've got a record of roughly 10 races they participated in. The Caminos del Inca is still raced today. It's a multi-day rally from sea level up to the Andes Mountains, over 1500 miles. He won overall twice. There's an article in this year's Summer 2023 Shelby American. I was lucky enough to travel to Peru to meet the driver, navigator and mechanic last year.
Here's a video of the race: https://www.bpvideolibrary.com/record/745
Check clips at: 9:05, 11:55, 16:25, 21:25, 29:35. There are more of the car in there, but those were the easiest to find. If you've got time, the full video is pretty interesting.
Many thanks for the link! Cool video.
There also appears to be a 1965 GT350. I see R-model door windows and frame. Is this a 65 GT350R, 5R530?

As I have a bit of knowledge on 530, visited it at Walts place in Colorado.
If it is, Nick B was whom it was purchased from in Peru. Not sure of last name, maybe Brozovich or something like that.
Registry should have better details/
I worked with George Stauffer to sell it for him.
I have vivid pictures of the car.

Great pics!

Hey there, It's nice that I can contribute here. Bratzo Vicich didn't race this year (1970). I met Bratzo's daughter when I visited Peru for Yangali's 50 yr victory anniversary. Alvarado raced this year and he had an R model. He actually owned two - one was completely destroyed. This year Yangali (my car) came first in class, 4th OA. Alverado (#403) DNF'd in stage 3. Seems consistent with the photo.
Hopefully this isn't too cheesy. Based on the videos above and the photos I've gathered, here are some models I've built on my car. 1969, 1970 and 1971 versions.
Taylor,
Not cheesy at all, very cool, now you just have to decide which way you want to do the car itself.... ::)... thanks for sharing.

If I were to do it, it would be 407. That was the first year Yangali and the car won the race. He won the following year too :). I've looked into it, but don't know how well it would be received. Also, the car was stripped inside except for the seats.
Would I pull all the restored interior out? The fun part would be going to side pipes :)

Admittedly, I haven't done the full research required, but this may be Alvarado's car in the 1973 race, not Vicich's.
