Randy, It's hard to understand how this wonderful racer could get in this condition.

It almost looks like someone piled a bunch of dirt on it!

I see they have a pressure washer there, I think I might have used it before I took the photos.

Randy - That'll take some elbow grease to make "right". Looks like an interesting project.

Jim - I may be wrong but I think those photos show the car after pressure washing ;-)

Pressure wshing would kill it. The important pieces are the log books, the tub, the hewland, the uprights, the brakes, the axles, the gages and steering wheel with rack, etc.
The suspension would pretty much be replaced.
 
The photos are as found. I have photos from when it was still in the barn. The car could be restored for about 125,000. I do believe it is the #1 car from 1975.
It is a neat car.

60k Reserve not met on eBay;

Since eBay auctions and images go away quickly and this information is some very interesting history - I am capturing the text and pictures here;

1974 Lola T332.
Project car. Log book indicates its history
includes many 1975 races with Brian Redman
at the wheel.

The photos tell the story of its current
condition.

Please feel free to call
with questions (or email)
Daniel 203-778-2601.

There is no Lola chassis plate
on the car. There is an SCCA tag
with the number 499. The front
of the log book has two numbers
75-1 and 84-499.

The Log book indicates the car was raced
by Brian Redman at the following events.

Pocono F-5000 5/31/75
Elkhart F. 5000 (no date)
F5000 8/9/75 (no location listed)

Driver / Entrant: John Macaluso

Mosport Can Am 10/15/85
Ste Petersburg 11/3/85

The car comes with two bodies.
One F5000 body, which I believe
was never on this car. Plus a
CanAm single seater body which
clothed this car during its
races in the 1980’s. Both are
missing their noses. We are
hunting for them.

I have a few other pictures. The double brake pedal is cool. Allows left foot braking without having to deal with the steering column in order to get foot on clutch.
