LPDADDY Report post Posted January 17, 2009 That is not the 917 can am car. The can am cars were open top and there were 2 variants the 917-10 which had had 1100hp and 917-30 which had 1300hp and was run in the sunoco livery. Assuming this 917 is real,which is somehow doubt,it looks to be in the same livery as the 1970 Le Mans winner and it is basically the flat 12 Porsche motor with about 540hp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abolfaz Report post Posted January 17, 2009 Hey at least he didn't post it in the Porsche section. Don't get me wrong, I would kill for that replica! As a matter of fact I finally got in touch with the Krawftwerkz people who built the 917 replica pictured. I'm trying to figure out how to move things around and get one! For nostaligias sake, here's the pink pig... And IMO the best looking 917 of the bunch... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuisGT3 Report post Posted January 18, 2009 Mike, When I lived in AZ, I got to meet Harley C, who owned that # 3 Purple Green car for some time. His collection and the cars he keeps in his hangar are out of this world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPDADDY Report post Posted January 19, 2009 Best looking race car of all time imo but a death trap. The tube frames are so small,the whole car bends and i would hate to get into an accident in one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abolfaz Report post Posted January 19, 2009 I spoke at length to the people who built the car pictured in the first post, its $135k minus powertrain and they're SOLD OUT UNTIL LATE 2010! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
