Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. 355 Chevy V8 with four Webers, ZF 5 speed. Sbarro badge on dashboard. Headlight covers foggy. Rock chips in nose and fenders. Repaired chips on left front fender. Poor paint, freshened engine compartment. There is no certain attribution of its history, aside from various conjecture and a 1999 letter from Lola Cars International expressing their opinion it is a real T73 with a chassis number that is unknown to them. Possibly used in McQueens Le Mans movie. Tidy and orderly, appears to be historic race ready. Comes with FIA paperwork. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Sold by RM in Monterey in 2004 for $110,000 with a 4 barrel and in need of some attention, which it has gotten. It is now a much better car, ready to hit the track, and brought an attractive price for anyone interested in running what it surely one of the most beautiful automobiles ever to turn a lap on a racing circuit. As presented here and at this price the uncertain history is not a concern.
