The guy's got more money than Carter has pills but when I met his he was totally cool, a very nice guy.

Here's his 906E and a little history:

906E-159 has been described as 'the most rare, best restored 906 with most race wins.' It is one of four fuel-injected factory long nose 906E and is referred as a long nose short tale. The car raced the 1967 24 Hour Daytona International, was purchased by Briggs Cunningham who then sold it to Otto Zipper. It won all of the races of the 1967 United States Racing Championship Series and the 1967 SCCA Series. In 1968, the car won at Laguna Seca and Riverside Grand Prix. Later sold to Vasek Polak, the car also won the 1968 SCCA National Title and was retired at the end of that season.
