Speaking of movies did you know that disney ordered two 917 lasers fromj Elite enterprises to use as the evil cars in a few herbie movies.
They were built with turbo corvair motors and were painted in lack with strange red racing stripes. One of these cars resideds in the stars cars museum now.
On the note of replica 917's even porsche got into the swing of thisd. The car 917-032 which won 71 le mans and was recently sold by symbolic to non other then Jerry Seinfeild, ( don't repeat that as even I am not supposed to know) porsche lost control of the car after the 75 season I believe. They had a exact replica of the winning car made and it now resides in the porsche factory museum.
