Contact usernames: VZ935, esotoracing and Peter Guldan in this thread on Pelican. They seem to have a handle on the 935s that are around. . .

Vasek Polak had a few Interscope cars but Ted Field had a policy of not selling cars due to a legal issue resulting from someone trying to put it on the street, they may just be in storage.

Which one did they crash and have the tub put in a crusher? It is now a coffee table in Ted's office, the 0 came up on one side of the cube.

This page says it is in France.
Chassis: 930 990 0029 Chassis 930 990 0029 Sold new to Ted Field's Interscope team, chassis 930 990 0029 made its competition debut at the 1979 Daytona 24 Hours. For the occasion Field was joined by Danny Ongais and Hurley Haywood. Starting from 8th, the '0' car took a brilliant debut victory. In the remainder of the 1979 season, this performance could not be matched but Field did manage to finish second on two occasions. Now in French hands, the Daytona winner is regularly raced in historic events. It is seen here during the 2006 Le Mans Classic.

A couple Ferraris.
The 1972 winning Andretti/Ickx 312PB #0888, and the 1998 winner 333SP-019 with Theys/Moretti/Baldi/Luyendyk. |
Brad, do you know if it is the same car they raced as 68 in the 1979 LeMans 24 hours? It might help with the search.
