Equipment
Originally built with 4 wheel drive, later converted to rear wheel. Ford turbo V 8 Indy engine. Driven by Al Unser for Vel Miletich and Parnelli Jones. Famed Topper Toys Johnny Lightning livery still on the car from its 1970 season. Multi race winner on the way to Unsers championship season. Restored to pretty much like new condition with a little dust. RTR with thorough recommissioning made easier by the notebook of setup data that comes with it.
Market commentary
This is a huge, huge, immense value. It is so complete and unaltered from the way it was put out to pasture after 1971. Its history and success mark it as one of the most successful USAC Indy Cars in existence. It missed its audience here in LA and the fortunate bidder who secured it came away with a great value for the money.
