Troutman-Barnes Special built by Dick Troutman & Tom Barnes in Troutman's garage in Los Angeles CA in 1954.
This predecessor of the Scarab featured a space frame chassis coupled to a Mercury flathead V8. Later replaced with Ford & Scarab-Chevy engines.
The car has an extensive history and is actively raced in historic events in the USA.
