OK,

Paulie comes through again, with another find of a
lost LO23.

Tom Spanbauer of Oshkosh, Wisconsin

'Liberty Bell II'

Tom was already running his SS/B car by mid-April 1968.

Great article, discussing handling issues.

745,555 views class racer record for sure. Amazing the interest in these little old cars with a bad attitude.

Daryl,

Lawrence 'Larry' Wilber
Toledo, Ohio

According to extensive digging. It looked like Jim Thorton
{Manager of Race Vehicle Design} and member of the
Ramchargers helped buddy Larry Wilber secure an
early-deal on his LO23.

I believe that Jim Thorton was from Perrysburg, Ohio.
