1968 L88 cars

[Pantera]

The last pic was of the car at a TransAm race at Hallett where I first saw the car and a year later bought it from Mitch Lambert the second owner.

I raced it with a small block up until '85. Then I got the fever to go even faster. Back in '79 when I was running my first Vette a 63 in B/P. I was running flat out as fast as I could down the old runway of the old closed Dallas airport when something blew my doors off when it went by me like I was standing still. I had to be running at least 160 at the time, and this car was just a dot in front of me in seconds. It was a Can-AM Lola and from that moment I just had to have one.

So I found this car a old F-5000 Lola and raced it for a season. This thing was a scary POS with such a short wheelbase (88"). It dropped a valve after a season, so I sold the car to a collector. Man that thing was a POS in the handeling dept. Faster than hell on the straight but would not go fast around a corner with out comming around on you.
