Steve,
Here's a search for you....
You need to be looking for an SI or SII Alpine race car in Dallas. There was a father and son, Rootes dealers I think, who raced an Alpine in the Southwest. They were very successful. They did so well they won the E-production Division Championship in 1963 (note, that was E-production... not F-production. Who said the Alpine couldn't run with the Porsches?) Quite an accomplishment.
Anyway, it would be a neat find.

Steve Kirk - I wonder if Kip over at Kip Motor Company would have any leads on early Series Alpine race cars? You would think he'd be pretty familiar with local junkyards and derelict cars tucked behind barns and under tarps in the area.

Steve, the Chevrolet Dealer in Arlington has a garage full of every year car he has sold for many years, "Vander......." they may also know something, or ar least who the Rootes Dealer was in the '60s. Just my 2 cents worth.

The Local Rootes Dealer in Dallas was Precision motors located in downtown Dallas. They sold my series 5 new and appeared to be the only dealer in Dallas accoring to an old dealer listing. Looking at the building now on this site I woulds say it was built late 60's early 70's. There is currently no dealership in Dallas named precision motors. There was also a dealership in Fort Worth.
Scott, I could try asking Kip Motors if they know of any early series racing Alpines located in Dallas. I thinlk there is still a lot of Alpine to be found in this state. I have found three recently which have asdly been left outside for too long and are not worth what the owners are asking for them.
Steve do you have any more information such as names or pictures of the cars?
Bob, I am familar with Vandergriff Motors in Arlington. Are you saying he has a garage full of old cars?
