Did you ever see Chuck’s 917? That had to be the most original 917 I’ve ever laid eyes on.
I once thought about buying a replica 2.8 RSR that a friend of mine had built. He spent a ton of money on it; it had a lot of the correct parts including a proper 2.8l engine and factory steel RSR flares all the way around. I wasn’t happy with a few of the things and was running the numbers to see what it would take to finish it to my liking. One of the parts I was looking at was a torsion bar tube, because the RSR used a different one to accommodate its different trailing arms. I called up Stoddards’s and he had one in stock…. Those were different times, for sure.

I watched Chuck in his 917 and Duncan Powers in his 908 driving on the track and safe speeds. Both cars sounded great. They would hammer down on the straights and take it easy in the corners. Chuck had an amazing 914 6 GT.
