This was Watson was built in 1963 for Racing Associates. The original engine was a 252 cubic ich Offenhauser. Driver Ebb Rose qualified but was bumped from the field late in the day on the final day of qualifying. In 1964 it was driven by future 3 time Indy 500 winner Johnny Rutherford. Still with the 252 engine, he qualified 15th. Due to a last minute sponsorship deal with Bardahl, the car was painted Yellow for the race. During the race he drove through the flaming start only to crash on lap 2. For 1965 it still had the 252 engine with Bobby Grim driving. Grim failed to qualify for the 1965. For 1966, Racing Associates tried something unique, a turbocharged 168 cubic inch Offenhauser. Grim started 31st only to be eliminated in another start of the race crash.

It is restored in the way it last appeared in 1966. It is the only running example of a turbocharged Watson Offenhauser roadster. For more information, contact us at info@indycompetition.com.
