26 Museum Sign After years of designing and repairing sports cars, Karl Schuetz was ready for something new, and good friend Dennis Kazmerowski had the answer. Until it was found by Kazmerowski, the body of a Trojan Lola T70 spent almost 40 years in a storage facility. Transforming this Lola into an operating vehicle meant building the car from the frame up from scratch. When Karl heard about the car he was intrigued. Could he do a full car build? There was only one way to find out. After approximately 1,000 hours, and a year of weekends and evenings of hard work, the Lola T70 MKII coupe was complete. Karl even learned to paint so that he could finish the car himself. Karl no longer wonders if he could build a car from the ground up. With imagination, creativity, an assemblage of parts, and old-fashioned sweat equity, the answer to that question is a resounding “Yes!” Specifications • Engine: 383 cu. in.
