That looks like Pike's Peak so that means one of the Unser clan.  Is it Bobby Unser in the Ugly Duckling?

It certainly is Pike's Peak. Bit obvious really! Back in the days when it was a real man's race, none of this softie tarmac like today.

There is always a chance that an Unser would be involved, but not in this instance.

The car is Offenhauser powered, but that's not the driver of the car.

It's Pikes Peak 1965 and its the 1963 Conze d1 Special, an Offenhauser powered champcar, not driven by Vince Conze this time, but by Charles Lowderman. He finished third in the champcar class.
