Daniels was heavily involved in the JCNA and is known to many club members. There are service invoices in the file from his ownership.
Daniels sells 670555 to Michael A Griffin of Southfield, Michigan who keeps the car until 1982. 67055 is then owned by Jimme Edwards also of Michigan. This is confirmed by John Elmgreen (the Godfather of XK’s) and listed CJA.

Then ending up with Mike Monsalve of Torrance who keeps it for many years. Trading it to Graham Rahal Performance of Indianapolis. The ownership is largely known.
