917 photo

[JBurer]

Guys,
Much appreciate if any of you can help me find this... I'm pretty sure it was on Pelican parts, but I can't locate it with the search function.

Awesome picture of the rear of a 917 - someone had split it into 3's and was selling copies. For the life of me I can't find it.

Any help??
Best,
John

I save a lot of money since years to buy one of these cars one day.
I can almost afford the screw and half a washer for the seat mounting....

Hi John,

I got your PM and email. This was the photo I believe you were referring to...

Terry,would love a shot at the original painting.Can't get your link to work.I saw this car at Road America in 1973.I believe it held the track record for almost 30 years(untill they let the open wheel Indy cars in)Good luck Rob I believe they made just 5 of them.Read somewhere that Jerry Seinfeld bought one(a non tracked car)for many millions.The Sunoco car would probably set a record if it ever went up for sale!I believe it is in the Porsche museum.

For what it's worth, I purchased that photo from mile2424 and it looks fantastic in my office.
