In 1976 Johnny Rutherford dragged out his Offenhauser powered McLaren M16E for the last time and won the Indy 500 for the second time. Privateers still raced different M16 variants in CART/USAC until 1981.

Model by Carousel 1.

The last of a breed that sounded like race cars instead of mosquitos.

Great looking model.  C1 did a fantastic job on their Indy cars.
