Lo-lo-lo-lo-lola...

Here's a sweet '69 Lola T70 body in vintage orange on a McKee space frame. The car was originally an open-cockpit, aluminum-bodied car commissioned by Caroll Shelby. The owner claims it was the third frame made by Bob McKee, which I guess would be one of the first five one-off custom frames McKee made before rolling out the MkVI design in '66. At some point, the body was replaced with the closed-cockpit Lola seen here. Slick. Power is from a 357 Chevy small block producing 485bhp. For a car weighing 1650 lbs, you figure the things gotta move pretty well! Currently set up for SVRA Group 5 or 7 racing, the owner is taking offers. I could cash out my IRA but I don't think it'll be enough! You can view the listing here on race-cars.com.
