Bob LaPane built this car on a frame bought from Cheve dealer in Arlington MA.  Doug Bethke spied it, wanted to buy it and would not take "no" for an answer.  Developed with trick trailing arms for better handling. GT1 Runoffs champ 1981 & 1982.  Restored by the late Leon Hurd and donated to NCM in 1993.  Sat for 20 years, not running until refurbished in 2012, thanks to initiative of then trustee Ivan Schrodt.  More details,
