This the car that Bruce McLaren raced in Can Am
with a long nose and sidedraft webers on a 427.
Who is right? Has this car long since been dug up?
I like the car because it is one of the few with
an aluminum tub, and the only big block targa and it only raced once in an International event (Sebring '66) and won!

Since they found the 1965 Targa Folrio Roadster GT111 in a lockup in Stratford ( Olympic 2012 site) I suppose anything is possible??? The nose on the big block X1 GT110 was from the 1965 Le Mans nose cars complete with lights?? According to Ronnie Spains book they were 5 built cars but 6 chassis one of which he called GT110a? I am wondering if this car if it surfaces will turn up with this chassis??
