Equipment
350 GM V 8 with 4 barrel carb, 4 speed, braced rollbar, full width windshield. One of the last of Max Balchowskys Ol Yaller road race specials, built on a Jaguar XKE monocoque and suspension. Also saw some work in Viva Las Vegas, probably the most notable of its achievements. Well maintained and presented in very attractive historic racing condition.
Market commentary
Offered at RMs Monterey auction in 2008 where it stalled at $200,000 and one of the featured early consignments here where Viva Las Vegas was the rallying cry. The price is ample for the cars lack of period racing accomplishments or famous chauffeurs and its singular departure from the construction techniques which characterized the earlier Ol Yallers which terrorized big buck furrin race cars in the Fifties and Sixties.
