Dr. Ward Dunseth owned Paul Leffler wrenched #1 that won the USAC championship with Greg Weld driving in 1967. Saw this car at the Winchester Old Timers weekend a couple of years ago...still think it is the most beautiful sprint car ever.

Unfortunately that is not the real car. Still beautiful though!

The Dunseth #16 Jud Larson was killed in is incorrectly restored as the Cheesman #25. The real Cheesman car Sachs drove was destroyed at New Bremen in May 1964.

Not a new addition to the list; but a photo of the car from the 2009 Ameila Island Concours.
I couldn't figure out how to attach the photo here; but if you go to the album, AC WOLF restored race cars, it is there along with a couple of others.

Does the Foyt sprint car in the Indianapolis Speedway Museum fit the criteria?
