Hemmings Finds of the Day – 1969 McLaren and 1969 Lola Can-Am cars

Despite what quantum physics tells us, we can’t drive two cars at the same time. Maybe we could if cloning technology were a little more advanced. Or if time travel were possible, but then we’d be racing against younger or older versions of ourselves. Transporter malfunctions could potentially provide same-age duplicates of ourselves to race against, but then they’d be evil. Anyway. Once we get that little detail worked out, we’re buying this 1969 McLaren and 1969 Lola for sale on Hemmings.com and racing head-to-head against ourselves. From the McLaren’s description:

This M8C McLaren was originally purchased from Phil Riley. The current owner has had the car for the last 28 years. It maintains its original ‘tub’. The McLaren has an S&S Built High-Nickel Block that is made for a dry sump, so the oil feed goes in front with a Dash 12 and a Dash 6 in the rear. It’s over 350 HP and comes out to 400 Cubic Inches and has a Hewland 5-Speed Transmission.

And from the Lola’s description:

This 1969 Lola was raced by Peter Gregg from 1970-’74. The current owner has had the car for the last 28 years. The condition is spectacular and is fresh and ready to race in ANY Major Historical event; as it has. This Lola is equipped with a Keith Black Big Block which is 510 cubic inch with Kinsler ‘Timed Injection System’. Complete Engine was built by S&S. The Transmission is a Mark II Hewland 4 Speed.
