1969 Daytona 500 Winner. Lola T70.

Enthusiasts of 1960s prototype racing require little explanation regarding the contributions of Englishman Eric Broadley. The race car designer and founder of Lola Cars was a principle member on the original Ford GT40 design team, with the very first GT40 largely being a developed version of the Lola Mark 6. After creative differences with Ford, Broadley left the project to resume building cars under his own name.

Broadley’s latest project was initially built in 1967 as part of Aston Martin’s plan to return to endurance racing, and it seemingly faltered when the new Aston V-8 failed to prove its mettle at Le Mans. Changing course, Broadley positioned the car for racing privateers and started producing and selling closed-bodied chassis that were then fitted with engines, with the most common choice being Chevy small block motors. These cars were dubbed the T70, and they were mostly sold to American customers through distributor Carl Haas.

By late 1968, the increasingly successful T70 had evolved through three generations of development, and on 30 December, the very first example of the new Mk IIIb was completed. Chassis SL76/139 was sold to Roger Penske’s team, and it debuted at the 24 Hours of Daytona in February 1969, wearing blue Sunoco livery and being driven by Mark Donahue and Chuck Parsons. The new T70 went on to take the chequered flag in smashing fashion, with a slew of Porsche 908s failing to finish.
