This Lola T-70 Mkll spyder was the only T-70 not to be powered by a Chevy engine. This 305 cid Gurney-Westlake Ford V8 brought the only Ford Can-Am win in 1966, with the Chevy powered brothers taking 5 out of 6 with John Surtees behind the wheel. After 1966, the McLaren M6 would beat all comers. This "Bardahl Special" still exists today in fine form.

Sorry. I accidentally mixed in the #6 Sunoco Pensky T-70 MklllB Coupe. It was Chevy powered and did manage to win the 1969 24 Hours of Daytona.
