guess what this is?
 

Colorado folks can not reply. We were recently treated to some great old pictures from PCA/Alpine Region first year of existence, 1975. One vehicle featured heavily in the slide show. Here is a teaser. What is the car? I might post more later....

Karman Ghia ???

The third fella over from the left happens to post regularly here. He is looking at the rear of the said "car" as well. No it ain't a Karman Khia, but the lines are somewhat similar.

Damn.....those guys really know how to dress!

Damn.....those guys really know how dress!
TShirt, Plaid Bermudas.....with a belt no less WOW.......

Alfa?

Oops. didn't see that last post. I did see some of these at the sears point about a month ago.

Yeah, check out the threads of the owner of the car. He is a great guy too. The cars this fella has had and still owns would boggle your mind This side profile should make it easy for any respectable Porschephile to id the car. Alfa is close.

Looks like an Abarth Carrera,No?.../ Lars...

Bingo! And that is our beloved Grady Clay in the second picture.
1975 in La Junta. That only took a half hour. The Fuchs were a special order item back then....

Front Shot please...

Is this it?

Something reminds me of a TVR

Ok there are a couple more shots of the car. I have included two more. And ONE real scary picture. Remember guys this was back in 1975. These pics are digital scans of slides or prints. Pretty kewl though.

I'm taking a guess... a modified Alpine Renault A1600 (or similair)?

Strange front end on this one:

Larwik gets the prize.

Bill, thanks for posting all this. I would have been at La Junta but
had a Dr. appointment that Friday afternoon to tend a surgical
wound. I wouldn’t have had much energy to finish the weekend.

Well, In the first pic that is Greg Volan on the RF tire. My floor
jack in the foreground. I suppose I may have taken the picture.

In the second pic I am explaining the details to Chuck Stoddard.
How did we ever wear the same attire that day? Note the Bells
and pocket protectors. That is Paul Bingham to the left. Get
three engineers together around a 4-cam and you will be there
for hours.

I maintained that physique (6’3”, 145#) until I was almost 50 – if
I can remember that long ago.

Here is the Rennenhaus poster with this 1762# Abarth Carrera GTL
and my 904 Carrera GTS (904-017).

Best,
Grady

only 1/2 hour after he took care to hide a lot of relevant details - slots on the rear, shape, etc. Next time this group will have to have a harder challenge...

Here are some shots of Bob Garretson's similar car taken at a Porsche Club GB concours about 15 years ago:
