John,
   
   Glad to have some of this mystery cleared up. Very strange about the car sitting in the Palo Alto garage for years.
   
   I saw the car at a gas station as I was heading home from the Concours.  Pulled up to the pump island and facing me was the 2.6 - a bit of a rare sight.  Thought I must be dreaming. Had a look under the hood: it had the alloy head (mine is Stage 1, iron). First I'd seen the Mays head and the first look at the cast iron exhaust header.  The driver mentioned the Switzerland connection. Wish we'd been able to talk longer, but we were each heading home in different directions.  And somehow I didn't get his name!

Which 2.6? I sold RS5024 in Northern CA in the '70's and it's not been heard of since the acquiring broker sold it. Last heard was that maybe it was in Sacramento.

John,  This 2.6 is RSX 5028.  Is RS 5024 the car I saw leaving Pebble Beach in the '70s, just having been sold? The new owner said he was on the way to Sacramento.
