1965 McKee Mk. V Sports Racer

The 1965 McKee Mk. V Sports Racer is a Hemi powered race car that captured the hearts of racing enthusiasts around the world.

The Mk. V Sports Racer was designed by Bob McKee, an accomplished race car builder. The Mk. V was powered by Chrysler 426 cubic inch Hemi V8 making 600hp and weighing in at only 1600 pounds. This combo led several victories by driver Bob Montana with 2 late-season SCCA victories in 1965 and qualifying fifth on the grid for the Los Angeles Times Grand Prix at Riverside.

The sleek and aerodynamic design of the car made it highly competitive on the racetrack, but by the end of 1967 season with the rise of monocoque-chassis it quickly became obsolete in the Can-Am race series. McKee Mk. V continued racing until being officially retired from racing in 1969. #cars #racing #grownostr
