    This Indianapolis car is known as a Mongoose and was built in 1967 by Dave Laycock. The power plant is a rear-mounted 4-cam Foyt Ford V8. The Mongoose qualified for the 1967 Indianapolis 500 at 164.256 mph with Geroge Snider at the wheel. The Mongoose started 10th and Lloyd Ruby replaced George Snider the next day after rain delayed the race after 45 miles.

In 1968 George Snider qualified the car at 162.264 mph and started 29th, though went out of the race after nine laps due to an oil leak.
