Porsche 804 GP car..built ground up

My good friend Dave sent me this...he manages the Larry Wilson collection in Florida.
All of the parts here...frame on up were built in house by the guys that work there full time....he has his own paint shop too...they build engines, beat alloy panels on wooden bucks..everything…

The last time there I got to drive a '26 Bugatti GP car.....amazing collection.

Channel your inner Dan Gurney.... I saw the buck for this body a few years ago on my last visit.

I suspect Larry will race it if there is an appropriate class.

Very nice replica. Looks like they have used a 901 engine with a horizontal fan, rather than the 8-cylinder original... Probably a blast to drive!
