I couldn’t wait to get a picture of this
unbelievably beautiful #473 creation of Les Alberti
from 1974. I don’t want to put words
on this page that I can’t back 100% up, but I think for as good
looking as this car was, it was nothing but problems. A profile chassis, it looks to be that the
chassis was utilizing a low center point of gravity, as the fuel cell is
about as low as it can go, and the engine also looks to be mounted inches
shorter than usual, especially for back in 1974. I heard stories about the demise of this
car, and with Lester’s penchant for having a slight temper,
I tend to lean on the side of believing it. However, without enough info, I’ll keep that
to myself until I hear otherwise.
Second Photo: Lester chalks up another win in his all to famous 473. Personally, I don’t think the exhaust pipe is long enough. Would Al Schwinning approve?

Looks
an awful lot
like Dickie Larkin scoping out the Alberti fabricated #473 in the
background.
