1972 Lola T310 was the last original Can-Am series car built by Lola. It was to be the longest, lowest, and widest Can-Am car of all time. Powered by a big block Chevrolet V8 mated to a Hewland gearbox, it was driven by then-reigning F5000 champion David Hobbs in the 1972 Can-Am series. It was entered by Lola importer Carl Haas and was sponsored by Steed and Goodyear. Just two T310s were constructed, but only this car (chassis HU-01) was ever raced in period.

    For my dollars, I don’t think you can go wrong with the C-Type, especially in that color combo and with that race history.

    Can’t argue with these choices. WANT them all. And the Rod Millen video was insane. That is chaos if I’ve ever seen it. Love it.
