I have a few photos of both George Brown and that silver roadster.
After George passed, some guy in Texas bought it and set about un-doing many of the unique things George had done with his car. The engine needed that, as it was a HIGHLY massaged 2,110 that had a pretty radical cam in it, making it a difficult drive reliably on the street, but some of the other things he was replacing were very period correct and very sought after - the guy just didn't know any better. He was on here for a while, bragging about what he was going to do and some of us were in shock. Soon after (since he got little support from us) he dropped out and, apparently, soon sold it. It's nice to see that it's still around - George put a LOT of thought into building that car. You can read some of it on here, if you search back around 2003 - 2007 or so..... Just search for posts by "George Brown". Use the "Advanced Search" option.
I'll dig around in my photo files and see if I can find those photos for you. Too bad you never met George Brown. He was truly a character. Way back in the 1960's, George worked for IBM, but chafed under their heavy-handed style of management. So he went off on his own and became a software consultant to IBM and, among other things, wrote the code for "Sync-Sort", still used by almost everyone today, and got royalties for it. Later, he owned and operated a motorcycle shop in the greater Washington DC area. When he died (of an apparent heart attack) he had been living on his sailboat at a marina somewhere along the Potomac.
Maybe we'll have more George Brown stories after this weekends festivities at Carlisle!
I found the car photos - I'll keep looking for a photo of George.
And here's my son and I working on George's first IM at the hotel in Carlisle:
