    Al Holbert’s 1973 IMSA 911S team effort

    Hey Guys !! Was perusing some photos on EBay and found one of Al Holberts having a 1973 911S racing in IMSA. Looks like he campaigned 2 911S. Anyone have any stories/pictures of these early Holbert racing efforts ?? Are any of these cars known ??

    68-69 door handles on the 92 car. I'm guessing he didn't run a 73 in 73?

    the #92 car seems to be an ex German street car by this registration number on it at Mid Ohio 6 Hour in July 1973

    "HH" is a Hamburg plate. You would think with Holbert's connections to the factory it would have been a Stuttgart car which would have had a plate starting with an "S".
