MONGOOSE INDY CAR EX- GENE WHITE RACING
EX-LLOYD RUBY Begins Now!
Today, 2/15/2024 we begin the resurrection of Lloyd Ruby's 1971 Indy 500 car.. Powered by the turbocharged Four Cam Ford engine, Lloyd qualified 7th and finished 11th. A special thank you goes to Mr. Brad Edwards of Plainfield, IN who graciously lent us it's sister. #21 was driven in the 1971 Indianapolis 500 by Cale Yarborough, starting 14th and finishing 16th. Keep watching for more to come.
Gene White had his chief mechanic Dave Laycock build two Mongoose's for the 1971 season. This one for Lloyd Ruby and #21 for Cale Yarborough.. Both cars were powered by the turbocharged Ford engine. At the opening event in Argentina, Ruby won the pole for race #1 in this car. In the Indianapolis 500, Ruby started 7th and finished 11th. Yarborough in car #21 started 14th and finished 16th.
penske pc25 ex-penske racing, ex- al unser jr.
This Penske PC25 was driven in 1996 by Al Unser Jr. It is a show car and has no operational equipment. It will returned to its original paint and graphics scheme for a client's private collection.
Wildcat Mk8B ex- patrick racing, Ex-Mario andretti Finished and ready to go!
This Indy car is a Wildcat Mk8B designed by Gordon Kimball and built by Patrick Racing in 1982. It is powered by a Cosworth Ford DFX engine. The driver was Mario Andretti.
We received it in the condition that it last raced at Phoenix International Raceway, plus the ravages of time. We completely restored the car, including the gearbox and engine. Plus enhanced the appearance into a show stopping appearance. Hopefully it will make an appearance at Goodwood.

Lola T9300 Indycar Ex-A.J. Foyt Racing,
Ex- robby gordon - finished!
This Lola T9300 arrived to us in okay condition. Especially since it was stored for many years in a 20Ft. tag trailer next to the Pacific ocean. Most of the parts were there to make it a complete, running car. What was missing was the wiring harness, data acquisition system. Due to the storage conditions it required a lot of corrosion removal, plating, anodizing and polishing. The paint and graphics were in remarkable condition. The gearbox case showed a lot of corrosion which required bead blasting. The gearbox internals were perfect. The Cosworth Ford XB engine was another story. Upon inspection it was found to have suffered serious internal damage. With engine damaged and the electronics missing, we held a conference with our client. It was decided to install the damaged engine and turn into a complete looking display car. It turned out be a very pleasing looking car!
