One of three team cars built and sponsored by BF Goodrich during the 1971-73 seasons to promote their new T\/A radial tires, its striking graphics were designed by John Greenwood's brother, Bert Greenwood. Initially intended for show and promotion, this car, No. 49, was unexpectedly thrust into competitive use when its No. 50 sister car suffered damage in a crash. Greenwood Racing replaced the engine with a race-specification aluminum ZL1, and it was skillfully driven by top road-course drivers of the era, including John Greenwood, Bob Johnson, Dick Smothers, and Don Yenko. The car achieved victory in the GT Class at the 1972 Watkins Glen Six Hour race, driven by Greenwood and Smothers. Additionally, it competed in prestigious international events such as the 12 Hours of Sebring and Daytona 24 Hours. Although it did not complete the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1973, it astonished the world by setting a GT-class speed record of 215 MPH on the Mulsanne Straight."}
