I was privileged to get to photograph and document the surviving 1989 Morrison Cook #97 SCCA Escort Series Championship car today. As some are aware I own the 1988 Championship #98 which was part of what would become 5 team cars built to race in 88 and 89 by Morrison Cook and have been compling the team history for a few years now.

This car filled in some blanks in that history but still digging for more. I took tons of pictures but will just post a few for now. This car is a time capsule and has been stored in climate control garages since it last raced close to 35 years ago.

 

Great find! Now if Manny will chime in on his 5th car, maybe his vin is MCM 89 02??? Secret Vin's, good luck getting that car registered in CA.

 

I wonder what the story is behind the rear hatch trim having Firebird style aero spoiler mounts on it. Did the rear glass break at one time and they substituted a rear glass hatch from a Trans Am? Or, did GM run out of Camaro hatch trim parts when the car was assembled at the factory.
