Aint she a beaut!

by the way, the fasted car I ever drove was one of these...back in the late 70s a friend of mine owned one. The next owner totaled it in practice before his first race...after some years the wreck it was dismantled never to be resurected. THIS is not the same car, but an example of the same model, a Lola T-332 Formula 5000. The original Traco built Chevy in the one my friend had wore out and it was replaced with a modified block [ for all the oil lines and dry sump stuff] Chevy small block, donated by a wrecked Vette!

THAT, my friends, was quite a ride!
Cheers

Default Fads and trends............

Fads and trends don't make for style. I actually saw this car ( I won't call it a Vette) at the Oakland Roadster Show.




A show winner of its day . You can still see this cars styling influences on todays Vettes
