This is a Swiss export car purpose built and delivered to GM Auto Koch in Luzern, Switzerland (dealer code #2 in zone #21 with a production date of 4/26/1965 per the NCRS/GM shipping data records) where Mr. Guido Wermelinger, a GM salesperson, raced this car until it was replaced with a well-known 1966 big tank M-22 425 hp coupe. Mr. Wermelinger utilized the car for its intended purpose of dominating Europe's road race courses and hill climbs. It was eventually sold to one of the leading Swiss road racing teams (Didier Burgisser) who continued to campaign the car for many years. This car has the special General Motors Suisse S.A.
