GT40 Mk. II targa buried in Los Angeles

[bitzman]

I wrote a page in the book I co-authored on
the GT40 Mk. II SN110 which I believe is
buried in a landfill in a suburb of Los Angeles.But one
car restorer said a friend in Minnestora owns it.
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??

Well, according to Ronnie Spain's book, the original X1 chassis GT/110
was used as a parts source at SAI, and in 1970 the bare chassis was
cut up into pieces and buried - an apartment building now stands over
it. There was a second chassis built at the same time, unnumbered,
which Ronnie calls GT/110A.

The car was stripped and the frame buried in California. A couple of small parts were kept by the person, still alive today, who stripped it and watched it being buried at the site. He also still has the small parts.
