In the last pic, you can see my rather plain looking (in comparison) ride in the background :)

Oh and I got a ride in a 512 BB!

Probably started as a Can-Am car or Sports Racer since it has "two" seats. It has modified open wheel bodywork, probably based off of Lola designs of the 70's. V8 powered with a Porsche transaxle.

The most hilarious part was the tiny, tiny windshield wiper on the plastic windscreen. It was probably 6" long.

Some other folks in the community know the owner, so I'll endeavor to find out more as I'm curious myself.

It looks to have T332 origins and then they sacrificed radiator space for passengers. In some eyes it may be "cool" but I hate to see historic formula cars re-purposed into things like this, but that's just me.

Even it was damaged beyond restoration, I'd rather see it as an awesome static display, i.e., the best.wall.art.ever.

The car pictured below is a Penske Racing entry for the F5000 series; powered by AMC and driven by Mark Donohue. I only got to watch Donohue race a couple of times and one of those was in this car.

That's a problem I don't want to be caught up in.
