This KK500S, powered by Chrysler, was bought in 1953 by Indianapolis Driver Manuel Ayulo to run in the Carrera Panamericana. Unfortunately, Ayulo was killed before the race and the car was sold to John Fox who raced it in several SCCA races. The current owner purchased the car in 1955 and broke the rear axle the first time he drove it, however, he continued racing it with the differential locked and was able to keep up with the race leader, a 3.5 Ferrari Monza. The KK500S ate transmissions like no other until it was equipped with a solid championship car axle. The car continued racing with both father and son, sometimes in a most spectacular fashion, as it often went off course.
