If your kit was the one out of Japan in the early 70s then I think it represents Revson's 1968 Japan "Can Am" winner. Someone referenced this website in the Chuck Parson thread; it has a few fair pictures of this car:

It's tough to navigate this website (Google translating helps), here's a few more interesting pages:

thank you for these excellent pics. the last one is nearly dead on - but nearly.

i wanna build the version with the big white letters on the side. don´t exactly know how it looks like........i only know that the above row contains SHELBY SOMEWHAT and down below DRIVER: PETER REVSON.

this should help:

it is the restored car but compares favorably with a photo in Pete Lyons Book Can-Am on page 72. You can preview this by going to amazon.com, search Can Am and when the book comes up do the search within the book for Revson. This should get you to the home page.

There're about 15 pics of this car in the Friedman's "Shelby American Racing History".
Plus all those you can find in the numerous Can-Am books & magazines
