Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

168 cubic inch Offy with Hilborn fuel injection, Halibrand alloy wheels, chromed suspension. Excellent paint, interior and chrome. Fresh show quality restoration right off the field at Amelia Island. Driven by Len Sutton, Chuck Stevenson, Bobby Grim, Arnie Knepper, Greg Weld and Don Branson, then converted to a Modified by Kenny Andrews and won the track championship at Oswego, NY in 1969. Parts reunited by Bob McConnell and restored as it was at Indy in 1964 with Stevenson. A miserable Indy record (DNQ and 2nd lap accident) but performed well elsewhere for Leader Card. Bob McConnell collection.

Market commentary

The oval money was probably holding back for tomorrows Uihlein cars, although if there was real money in the room at this point the seller would have been well advised to have given it serious consideration.
