3535 at 2018 Indy Bloomington Gold
 
Walking around a not crowded, wet Indy Bloomington Gold today and spotted this truly ugly car:

Almost kept walking then thought, that car looks familiar - sure enough, it was the long lost 1960 Cunningham Le Mans car #1. There were a lot of signs around and this person was taping feature callouts to the car:

The car was drawing a crowd but these guys put up a big banner:

And drew even more interested spectators:

I certainly hope it is going to be restored soon, it will be a big job:

Was it Gino's car?

Whoa now ! This car has a great story behind it, one of both intrigue and lost titles ! Thanks for posting the photos, I have never seen the weird modifications of the dash and the rear end.

so I guess the law suit is over? does Mckay there does he still have stakes in the car along with Lance Miller?

If that car ever gets restored, it should be worth a few more $$ just for the crazy litigation history on top of the race history.

That car has the rancid stench of con men and trial lawyers. That smell can't be removed by a restoration.

so true, and whomever turned it into a clown car should be strung up.

I don't see anything on that car that looks like a 1960 Corvette. Hood, front end, dash, rear end, doors.
Did somebody drop part of a '55 body and '57 on a 1960 frame ? How could it even be called a B-C 1960 Lemans car?
