I'm hoping maybe somebody on this board might have taken photos of the ex-Mark Donohue/Roger Penske 917/30-003 which Otis Chandler owned during the late 1970's and early 1980's.
There is nicely manufactured diecast model of the car in 18th scale, but it has none of the different/correct details and modifications that made it different from the road-racing Sunoco version of the car. I'm hoping I might find someone who saw the car while Mr. Chandler owned it, and took a few good detail photos of the car (particularly the rear of the chassis with the unique intercooler setup). The car had all of the changes made to it for the Cam2 record run when it was purchased from Mr. Penske in 1976. ANY help or leads would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

QUOTE(URY914 @ Sep 11 2009, 06:18 AM)  Thanks for the link to your photos. This is actually one of the 3 cars made from spare parts. The only real raced 917/30's are Otis' old car (917/30-003) and the Porsche Museum car (917/30-002). Technically 917/30-001 exists, but was only used to test the variable chassis lengths, and only raced in Europe. It is the Martini "917/20" at the Porsche Museum. Thank again!
