Parked in late 1972 or early 1973 sold to a portland body shop owner with 6303 miles showing

1988 bought by Scott Tyler of Clearwater Florida. Missing engine & rollbar. Disassembled, restoration started

This car still retains all of it's original panels (with the exception of the driver's door skin) and other components. This is one of few early 911 race cars with history, and believed to be one of very few cars built to these lightweight specifications."

Great car. Glad to see it finished after hearing about it. It is not a prototype but rather one of the very first of the Sports Purposes cars built in 67.There are alot of great photos of this car in action.

Hi Bob:

Thanks for posting those great pictures (and thanks to Paul for posting the chronology),......

Being kind of an antique myself, I remember all too well watching Gary Wright race that car many times here at PIR, and listening to that "6-speaker" stereo blaring down the track,...

I was racing a C-Sedan Cooper S at the time and always hoped that I'd buy one of those things one day and race it myself. Dreams DO come true,...

Bob, Thanks a bunch! To the best of my memory, this is as Gary raced the car. Note the simple sponsorship decals...actually placed for "contingency money". Meaning, you run with the valvoline oil decal in place, they pay you..depending on your finishing position. Gary once told me of Champion Spark Plugs taking $ away from him once they figured out he was actually running Bosch. (In a car other than this, I believe) It was refrshing for the fan back in the day...not tons of zoomy graphics and sponsor logos. Easier to pick your favorite out of the pack by color alone.

fantastic work. the engine bay shot is amazing.

does anyone know how the filler is mounted relative to the hood? the hood doesn't appear to have an opening that would allow it (the hood) to be opened.

(ps. you know you spend too much time on US websites when you refer to a hood and not a bonnet...)
