Hey TC
Where / when was that parade ?


That's the race car concours parade in downtown Elkhart Lake for the Big vintage weekend in July at Road America, the Weathertech International Challenge with Briand Redman presented by Hawk. Say that ten times fast.

Ha, that's Paul Resnick's old car. Paul owned PAR for those who remember. I remember when I used to bring that car to PCA events when I was a kid before HE [edit] went IMSA racing with it.

One of the most amazing things about this thread is not just Glenn's knowledge, that is a given. But the people coming out of the woodwork who were there when the IMSA cars were running. Even had eyes on a car as it slid upside down through the grass!

To add to the background history on the Altec/Lansing poster. Her name is Cyndi Wood. She was Playboy Playmate of the Month in February of 1973 and the 1974 Playmate of the Year. She has a PhD in child psychology and practiced in the LA area. She had a number of TV and movie appearances as an actress, including a dancing playmate in Apocalypse Now. She is 67 years old. The car frequents the vintage race circuit as ive seen it several times. We should reach out to her agent and recreate the poster... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

KYB rear shocks so it is on it's way!

Too bad it had such boring livery on it when raced back in the day.

I've often thought of doing that with Lynda Carter and a green 911, she still looks pretty good.

My friend Claus Mueller used to own this IMSA 914, he said it was a very nice car.
That is not hard to believe because it was built by Peter Dawes!
Before I bought my first IMSA 914 Claus said "Once you drive an IMSA 914 you will never think about racing a GT spec 914 again" he was spot on!

Thanks for the kind words Rob.

It later had some groovy orange strips Mike...

The car in post 35 is no longer a 914, it is a purpose built race car that has the general body shape of a 914 . The front and rear suspension are wildly different than a 914, full or effectively full tube frame, and an engine displacement that was never in a stock 914.

However lots of fully developed race cars bear little mechanical resemblance to a factory built car.

Actually it was a tube frame designed for the Fiero that was adapted to a 914 body.

Was the Altman car a Huffaker (or similar) Fiero chassis too?

Yes both Doug Arnao's and the Altman 914s were based on the plans from Huffaker.
I believe Doug Arnao's (bare frame) is for sale too.

I thought this Brumos article from an old Porsche magazine, might be of interest.

Got this one Glenn?

Photographer grew up in the same neighborhood and we ran in the same circles. He’s Chris Foley’s cousin I think.

Probably BIR...
