The T76 Mk3b Coupe
Arguably the best known and most beautiful racing car stemming from this era. An iconic sports car.
In 1969, the monocoque version of the T70 race car was unveiled, designated the 'Mk 3b', with hope that it could better compete with the best from Ford, Ferrari and Porsche. The design was certainly up the task, but the limited budget restricted it from frequent success, but most successful in short sprint races. Fortunately, Penske Racing won the 1969 Daytona 24-hour outright in their Mk3b and it was the model's best result.
