The Greatest Spectacle in Racing: Indy 500 Sunday start @ 12:45 pm ET
#3
My old room mate's dad had a car run in '69. It was an Eagle chassis/body https://www.oldracingcars.com/eagle/66/ chassis #202

We never got to know John, he died in '71, when we were 6. But his brilliance lives on.

He loved the '66 and ''67 Olds Toronados. He had 4. The Blue car https://www.orlandoclassiccars.net/vehic...e-toronado It is painted Cadillac blue from the '50s I believe. It pains me that the family sold it, but I think it was the down payment for my friend's house.

The white twin engined, twin transaxled all wheel drive one https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1062...ks-why-not https://www.ronsusser.com/inventory/list...car-850hp/ It is up in BC Canada, and shows up at the Oldsmobile Club track days up there from what I understand. Here is the other one. John designed and built both https://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/01/ebay...-toronado/

The other white car, which was his wifes', and the 4th was the parts car that was the donor for the original twin drive train Toronado. It might have been the sole '67 he owned.
