I agree with JD.



At one time I think I remember some discussion about a 2nd car but I never found any documents to support the claim.



#72 is the only Chrome Illusion painted GMMG that I am aware of.

Thanks for explaining 2 Benson cars. I heard a rumor that there might have been two but you know how rumors go?



Now we know for sure. Thanks. Jim



I took this photo when I met John @ the Berger Show in 2009.

Yes, the 2001 car was NBM. The 2002 car was Chrome Illusion. Both were built for him.
