    Porsche powered race cars/specials

    I've been doing a little research into some of the 60's/70's race cars that used porsche engines (would love to get one one day...) and so far have found:

    Elva - Porsche
    http://www.elva.com/forsale/elva-70-030.html

    Bobsy - Porsche
    http://www.johnfry.com/pages/AndersonDonRacing06.html

    Lotus (Supertech is rebuilding one at present)
    http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showt...hreadid=340311

    Pooper (Porsche - Cooper)
    http://www.partsobsolete.com/Outlaws/camerons53.htm

    Pupulidy
    http://www.tomstrongman.com/ClassicC...ller/Index.htm



    Anyone know of any others?

    I'll add this to start:

    http://www.duttondirect.com/motorspo.../model:/id:230

    "1972 URD 676 / Porsche interseries sportscar

    Also known as the EBS Spider, this car was built in Germany in the early 1970s to compete in the under 3 litre sportscar series and hillclimbs. Chassis is a URD and it is powered by a genuine 2.8 RSR engine ( ex Max Moritz 1973 Le mans car ) and driven through a 400 series Hewland gearbox. The car was sold by Moritz to the USA in 1979 and raced through the 1980s and 90s in SCCA and Historic events ( It was the feature article in the 1993 December edition of Excellence magazine )"

    Here's Dave White's KMW ...

    I saw it on one of my trips to Florida... it was SUPER cool...

    He told me he got it from a German Auto Transportation Museum... then restored it ... then raced the wheels off it ...

    It ran a 3 liter RSR motor...

    I believe he sold it a few years ago...

    Cheers,

    I believe that Gary Emory had one for sale last summer at the time of his camp out (August 2006). I had never heard of them or seen pictures of them either. He might have it still! I think the asking price was around $180 US.

    A guy I know sold one in Belgium for approx 100000€ in around 2002 (if I remember this correctly)
