ZF?

Thanks for everyone's help! I still have a few questions I need help with.

On the Chiquita logo on the Ducktail, do you see a banana unpeeled, or possibly their Carmen Miranda model? I see a blue Chiquita logo on the banana.

Thanks for the help on the upper Textar logo on the left rear quarter panel? Here is a fun picture I found with the Textar logo:


Here is the ZF logo is on the top of the front hood. It was a German transmission company, so this seems to make sense. Does everyone agree this is the logo, as it is hard to see?

It sounds like this yellow dot is on the front bumper is a Smiley face? Does anyone know what style of smile face was used back in 1973?

I found the old version of the red checkered logo below. However, I still need help to identify the blue checkered logo. It almost looks like a Goodyear tire logo. Anyone else have any ideas? Does anyone know what kind of Company APO was? And does anyone know what the logo is on the front hood above the number 8?

I think that only the classic Smiley was available in 1973:

In the latest issue of Classic Porsche, John Starkey replied in the "Reader Responds" section with some updated and confirmed ownership information and Historical race results for the 9113600894. It is certainly nice to get the 1976 LeMans and 1977 LeMans history confirmed and validated!

We were pleased to have the 1973 2.8 RSR #9113600894 at Rennsport Reunion VI. We displayed the car in the Heritage Display Tent. We had a pretty nice placement, right next to the 917. Here are some pictures:

After Eugen Kiemele raced this 2.8 RSR in 1973, he traded it in back to Paul Ernst Strähle for a 1974 RSR 3.0 which Kiemele raced for the 1974 season.

Paul Ernst Strähle then took the 9113600894 and after some engine tuning, sold the car in May 1974 to Autonautica Spa in Palermo, Sicily.

Here are pictures of the 0894 being loaded on to the Ferry to Sicily.

Autonautica Spa raced the 0894 in the 1974 Targa Florio with drivers - Raffaele Restivo and Alfonso “Apache” Merendino.
Restivo and Apache took 1st place in GT 2.0+ Class and 2nd Overall!




Check out these decals on the rear quarter! Anyone know what the writing says on the top of the sticker?
