[> Subject: Re: Bullring type people looking for old Indy 500 car Author: Kirby Lambert [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:54:10 02/03/15 Tue Actually I belive the first turbine car was the 1967 STP Paxton car driven by Parnelli Jones. That car is currently at the Indy IMS museum and I belive it is on loan from the Smithonian. The 68 Lotus was the second (and last) version of the turbine After 68 turbines were banned.
