I did see one shot of one at the 2008 Monterey Historics, though, so someone's got to have some more. If you manage to find anything good, I'd definitely be interested in snagging them as well - if I find anything, though, I'll let you know . . . .
PM me your email address. JayKay (thanks buddy!) has sent me some great stuff.

The '76 version sure is the hardest to find but the really hard thing is figuring out which photo fits which race in any season!
IIRC I read somewhere that there were over a dozen configurations for this car (in only 2 seasons!!!!!!!) Basically it changed with every race.
On top of that, the Tamiya kit doesn't seem to agree with the one they have in their very own museum and was used as a base for making the kit!
