They're only asking 35K for it!

enzo@af

Yeah, I saw that in DuPont Registry. They had some cars in there that looked pretty lousy. That's a kit car, for sure. I think a real one would run you more like 3500K, not 35K.

That's a Porsche? Looks more like an Italian than a more reserved German car. I suppose either a kit car with a Porsche powertrain (and perhaps a drivetrain as well) as enzo suggested, or just one of their less-publicized designs.

Yeah I agree with the kitcar assumption

It does not even look like a really 917 and its a really bad kit car. I would never pay that much for that crap. I would get myself a 930 for that much money.

That's no 917!!!

It captures the basic outline of the 917, but it isn't an exact replica. The spoiler and some body work on the front air dam are not from the 917, and it looks a little boxier than the real thing.

Last year I almost bought a 917 kit with a few friends. We had a few K's saved up and called the guy selling it, but he had just sold it It didn't have an engine/tranny in it, and it needed a lot of interior work (leaking, mildewed...), but we really wanted it.

JD...yes, that is a porsche. In it's day it dominated LeMans, if I'm correct.

Yes it dominated LeMans and racing. It even got banded from racing in LeMans and later the Pan-AM racing.

Here you go folks Porsche 917

Seb928S@af

Now thats nice and only a few million dollars.

Bean Bandit

I found another nice

enzo@af

Of course, all of these are the 917 longtail. There are other variants as well, but I think this is the best looking.

That is a good link it will tell you a lot about the 917 and the different models 917.

IMO it is the best race car ever made.

Its called a Laser 917. A kit car bult to mimic the 917 and other cars of that era. Mostly powered by VW engines, but some have V-8's and even Porsche Engines. They are pretty ugly, and only resemble the 917 in shape.

Yea it never look half as good as the really 917. It will never get the same performance like the 917, and it will never be a Porsche. It's a dame kit car.
