Alrighty Joe, i can either send em to you
personally, or if Karl doesn't mind, upload em here. IMHO,
although this is a mirage club, mirage's were inspired by
the business-only Dekon racers. I'd just need a
couple of days to set up the scanner and shrink em down
to a manageable size.
Jim Malone's Dekon
was(this was '98) a simple base red w/ upper gold/bottom
black striping running length of body up to whale tail.
Body style is very similar but mildly tweaked for
these puppies.I haven't seen it on your site in this
color scheme BTW, but it is apparently one of the
'original' Dekons. I vaguely remember Malone mentioning he
had just bought this a few years back, and was one of
three(?) full-on racers left. 'Dekon Engineering Ltd' dash
plate lists 'IMSA GT Champions 1976'. Unfortunately,
chassis # on plate is fuzzy. He had priced its worth at a
little over a million$(!!!)...not sure if he was serious
or just messin with another monza owner. ;

Too bad the rest of us mere mortals can't all afford
to have that much fun. : )
