Default Re: 1968 L88 cars

After the open wheel Lola, I traded a '64 & '67 vette's for a full Can-AM Lola that was made up from a used chassis that Ongias had raced when new and had all new supension and bodywork. It was pretty complete but not finished. I thought I was able to finish it up but found out that I needed to learn a lot of new skills before I could get it on the track. I worked on it for a entire year and saw that I was not going to get finished in time for the GP at Dallas.

So, I hired a guy to finish the car and entered it in the Dallas GrandPrix in '84. He just never got it totally finished in time and I was getting too busy with my new Swimming pool business to do it all myself. They canceled the series, so it is still setting in the back of my shop. It is now in white primer and ready to paint, but still needs to have the wiring finished up to be race ready.
