Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a 1971 Lola T222 Chevrolet Can-Am, chassis number 6, one of only six produced. It has a known ownership history since new, was comprehensively restored in the early 1990s, and has undergone extensive refurbishment under current ownership, making it eligible for SVRA competition.
Condition
7
While the car has been meticulously maintained and refurbished, including a new carbon-fiber body and engine replacements, it has also been involved in a crash that caused significant damage. Additionally, it has been actively raced, which implies ongoing wear and tear despite the maintenance efforts. Therefore, a condition rating of 7 seems appropriate.

During the Swinging Sixties, a nearly lawless racing series emerged in the Canadian-American Challenge Cup and stunned spectators with thundering prototypes pushing well over 1,000 horsepower.
Can-Am’s fabled Group 7 series ran with no limits on engine size and virtually unrestricted aerodynamics from 1966 through 1974; if the car had two seats, bodywork enclosing the wheels, and met basic safety standards, it was allowed.
Among the most highly evolved entrants was the 1971 Lola T222.
A revision of the T220 with an additional 10 inches added to the wheelbase for improved stability, it featured an aluminum monocoque chassis, fiberglass bodywork, tubular suspension with telescopic dampers, and Girling ventilated disc brakes.
Powered by Chevrolet V-8 engines of various displacements, only six were produced.
The Lola T222 offered here was dispatched from the factory on 20 April 1971 and delivered to US Lola distributor Carl Haas.
