Prolly the most-memorable (if not THE best) paint scheme in Porsche-dom
Compare this kinda 'open' engine cover to Porsche's later Carrera GT
Style-wise --- this one works
Carrera GT? . . . IMO not-so-much

Can-Am spyders --- dash 10s, here . . . 5-liters + twin-turbos = 850 hp

. . . and --- of course --- my favorite . . .
. . . the 917/30 . . . aka Porschesaurus Rex

5.4 liters + twin turbos + inter-coolers = 1200 - 1500 hp
Half-a-century, ago, now
Gulp!
And, yes --- this is The Car . . . ex-Penske/Donahue, ex-Otis Chandler, real-deal, Can Am killer

. . . Countach!
Love these
Hot-as-hell, uncomfortable as fook, impossible to see out of, let-alone maneuver, only occasionally reliable, and drives like a truck
Who cares?
You want reliability? --- buy a Toyota. You wanna get prime parking at the Oscars? --- or a strip club? . . .
. . . roll up in one o' deez
IMO? --- Perscopio's 'purity' gets trumped by the SS's wings + flairs . . .

. . . coming-up on half-a-century-old, now
.........................
. . . un-restored stuff . . .
. . . aka cool used cars . . . usually found banished to the parking lot
Ironic --- isn't it? . . .
. . . that a venue probably responsible for obliterating more OG cars --- for the sake of perfection . . .
. . . should now display cars whose attraction is in their imperfection
..........................
. . .
The original owners/audience for these cars, here, is loooong dead/gone --- don't recognize or know anything about these models, like, at all . . .
. . . but (many?) someones cared enough for these --- for all this time . . . to have them show up here, more-or-less intact
The places these 've been, huh? Wonder about those stories
.........................
. . .
'Nother Olde Monstre
.........................
. . . now THIS is what I call 'patina' . . .
. . . as in --- well-used, even a little 'beat-up' . . . just not bad enough for me to have to wash after I touch it
Wonder if the numbers 'match'
Wonder if it even has any
........................
. . . hot dog Chrysler Imperial
Awful lotta car --- for notta lotta people . . .
. . . now drop that top! (. . . he said)
Jeeeeez --- zis thing justa liiiiiiiitle bit phallic or what?
