    1963 Porsche RS61 "Dolphin"

    http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/...hp/carno/85473

    Has anyone ever seen or heard of this model? This is the first time I've ever seen this iteration of the car. I've seen the one that looks kind of like a 550, but never this race car. Does anyone have specs? Looks like a neat old machine.

    1963 Porsche RS61 "Dolphin"

    A 1700 cc 4 cam engine in good race tune was more like 180 hp. That was the era when Porsche started earning their reputation as 'giant killers'
