3535 at 2018 Indy Bloomington Gold
Walking around a not crowded, wet Indy Bloomington Gold today and spotted this truly ugly car:
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...d8f923c7e7.jpg 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: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...07341a1a3f.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...f6ce02e7f2.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...c2783c3ce4.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...1fcb68cef4.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...3b49d31b41.jpg The car was drawing a crowd but these guys put up a big banner: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...fffeaaadbe.jpg And drew even more interested spectators: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...10ef0a22cc.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...307375ea2a.jpg I certainly hope it is going to be restored soon, it will be a big job: https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...c99dab0389.jpg |
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? Doug |
