Spotted in the classified ads of National Speed Sport News a classified ad for A.J. Foyt's winning roadster. It is a replica with a four cylinder Alpha engine. Asking price: $65.000.

Forgot, there is another A.J. Foyt car for sale. Here is the link.

Shouldn't that read Alfa, as in Alfa Romeo?Comment

This car was built here in Indy by a guy named Gary Babineau. It is a nice car.
This car features, mac miller built, Watson roadster bodywork.
humbly yours, mac miller.

What a shameless plug.
Is Gary Babineau the same one that did Roger Ward's #5 1959 Indy 500 winner. I've seen that one close-up. First-rate work throughout.Comment

Mr. grogg,.......Gary Babineau built 3 or 4 Watson replicas but the particular car you are talking about was built by Roger Ward's brother, Ronnie in Calif.. Yes, It is a very nice car.
HA! That car did have one thing in common with the Babineau built cars.....
It also used, mac miller built, Watson bodywork......

Mr. Miller....are your Watson body components aluminum or 'glass ? I'm mainly interested in the nose."It's not the split, it's not the lack of marketing, it's not the days the races run on, it's the product." Tommy Kendall

You know, my birthday's coming up, so if mac miller were truly a nice man, he'd build me that Watson dirt car I've been wanting so badly these last few years.
Not as a conversation peice mind you, I'm headed for the track with it!
mac, what you do is truly a lost art.
I wish there were more of it in racing today."For in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's future, and we are all mortal".

#5
It depends which # 5, you are talking about. The real car, is still around. It was the same car Bettenhausen Sr. was killed in. Doug Stearly kept it in his possession, and it was restored in the late 70's or early 80's. I believe the car is in a museum someplace now.Comment

To SJ : The bodywork, I make, is 'glasss. Of the 23 roadsters that Watson
built there was only one aluminum tail (the '56 Flaherty winner).
Half of the noses were alum and half were 'glass. The famous
shark shaped nose was created by Watson's aluminum ace,
Wayne Ewing for the '59 season. The custom Watson bodywork
featured on the Agajanian #98 and Foyt's car in '63 and '64 were
built by Roger Beck in Calif.
To Ballanger : Oddly enough, I do have molds to build the bodywork for the
Watson championship dirt cars(HA! The real champ cars).
I'm currently building some new bodywork similar to the Kurtis 500G
roadster ('58 O'Conner Sumar Spl.)
Check out some of the stuff I build at:
