Hi Ryan -- I think you're right, Jake Gilbreath still called his #96 Mandella "Gil-T" -- the first "Gil-T" was also a Mandella (back in the mid-1960s when Jake was still a Fire Captain in El Monte and running his custom gas tank business out of his garage at home) but it was all-white with orange accent trim and was originally #26 (and just standard ski-boat cockpit configuration -- not a long deck center steer). Also like the shot of Bill Muncey in the Miss Atlas Van Lines unlimited. Bill was a very good friend and a great teammate (we drove together for Team Evinrude and Glastron Carlson in many endurance races back in the late 1970s). Someday I need to tell the story about going to lunch with Bill and finding out what it was really like to be a professional boat racer. It wasn't nearly as glamorous as most people think.
