That is the frame from the "new" 917 of Carl Thompson's. The frame had been on display at a company in Europe's office. If I remember correctly they had something to do with the oiling system which is why the tubes in the frame that carried oil are painted red.
Because it is a factory Porsche frame with a real Porsche serial number (917-037) it is being called "the last real 917".
(See http://www.pbase.com/917carl) Carl had an incredible pile of original 917 parts from when he worked for Vasek Polak.
