At present it stood on the Techno Classica 2005 in meals with a suction engine with open single butterfly valves (like picture) has it a Biturbo engine on basis 964 with approx. 550 HP. A back armament on the last year engine is when desired possible. The 917 a road permission has and drives then on classical Dunlop profile tires on rims 9x15 and 15x15 for this spring. On the racing course it drives 17x15 on Good Year Slicks on 9x15 in front and in the back. Everything with old original-size central catch. With a sales the value added tax can be proven. No self-service should will be applicable the transport costs where also always after expenditure computed to a sales. Further is answered gladly by Mail. Vehicle inspection naturally possible. The following conditions recognize you on by delivery of your requirement. Ebay of auction contracts are for buyers and salesmen legally binding contracts! In place of the addition the final term of the auction is to stand here. Buyers and salesmen recognize at this time valid, highest requirement as price of adjudication on. The consequences for the buyer are: Right of revocation and return right, which are intended by the BGB in § 355 and 356 for remote paragraph contracts, do not apply in connection with this sales contract.

Looks like there's room for a -4 in front of that -6.

What happened to the other 6 cylinders???

I saw the 917's run at Watkins Glen back in 71. As a kid I snuck into the pit area and was able to stand next to the 3 Gulf cars. I was mesmerized with the 917 and this started my love for Porsche cars.

That year in the pits, I saw Mario Andretti looking over his Ferrari 512. He alone looking at his car, me alone looking at him. I said Hi to him and he said Hi to me. Cool.

One of those Aussie repro 917s was at the GAF 2 or 3 years ago. A lot cheaper than this one, too. Scratch built, not from original parts, but REALLY well done. They had a set of blueprints, I think, or they reverse engineered it. I think it was set up for a V8. BTW, there's a whole cottage industry out there making 917 parts. There's guy in western Canada, I think, doing major parts or possibly chassis, and another in the UK. The Cap'n

Posted by: Joe Sharp Sep 15 2006, 07:58 PM

The red and white car at the GAF is an Auzi repro. I've seen it at alot of events in the last 2 years and it continualy is being worked on as it is not complete.

Wrongo, Democrat. Your valet carries it in the support Rolls Royce so it's all set up in your private villa with the iced champagne when you arrive. It's good to be the King.

Posted by: Jeroen Sep 16 2006, 05:36 AM

IIRC, a finished car from the Aussies (without engine/gearbox) was 60K
So I wonder where the other 190K come from

Then again, I could be all wrong

Posted by: davep Sep 16 2006, 05:54 PM

You are all wrong. It was madatory to have luggage space in the car. That is what the two pans are for behind and above the rear tires in the picture following Zen's question.
