Indy 500 Cockpit Off Billy Vukovich Offy Cars. Ran 2nd in 1973 & 3rd in 1974 !!

Description

I have decided to sell the spare aluminum Indy Car cockpit that was mounted on the 1973 and 1974 Sugaripe Prune Indy cars, that ran 2nd at the 1973 Indy 500 and 3rd at the 1974 Indy 500. Both of the Offy Offenhauser Eagle cars were owned by Jerry O'Connell,and both driven by racing great Bill "Billy" Vukovich Jr. Original pale yellow paint is identical to the paint of the two cars. On the back side of the cockpit you will see mounting strips/stickers where the cockpit rested on the car frames. The cockpit is approx. 5 feet high,4 feet wide, and 20 inches thick. Weighs approx 25 lbs. Made of aluminum. Please read the attached affidavit of ownership on it, and see photos of the cockpit, and the large lot of 1973 and 1974 Indy 500 stuff that comes with it. Includes original tickets to the two races, both programs, letters from the track to ticket holders etc. Perfect to mount all of it together as a large wall shadow box. If you collect race car and/or Indy 500 stuff, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity!  Again, all info is in the affidavit.(The prior owner of the cockpit, and the two Indy cars, wrote the affidavit. He is a private individual. His name and address are purposely blanked out of the copy shown in the auction. Winner will get the original signed affidavit with his full name and address untouched and viewable.)This is a super cool famous and rare piece of racing history for the collector, man cave, or gift for the car guy who has everything! Will store until picked up, or free Hershey delivery, but must be paid for in full at end of auction. Will consider ending the auction early for the right offer. Sincerely George Albright, Ocala, Florida ---3---5----2----8---4---3----1----6---2-----4-----
