Porsche 804 GP car..built ground up
My good friend Dave sent me this...he manages the Larry Wilson collection in Florida.
All of the parts here...frame on up were built in house by the guys that work there full time....he has his own paint shop too...they build engines, beat alloy panels on wooden bucks..everything… https://drive.google.com/file/d/11pyX-hvUtVX4sidU1-Wlzc4fxrbyQuCz/view

Very cool!
hard to see with the fast motion, but I think I saw them eating their lunch off the floor.

I toured Larry Wilson’s collection a couple of weeks ago. Met Larry Wilson. He has a fantastic toy box, and guys working there.

Glen, then you met Dave P who manages the place for Larry....he and I were SF soldiers together many moons ago. His wife works there too...does the books.
I visit periodically and it is an amazing place is it not. The guys he has on payroll are talented and have a dream job for their skill sets.

Very impressive.
Short two cylinders, but who cares. |

  Larry Wilson has many fantastic cars, not just Porsche’s. One wing is Italian, one room is American Iron, a British wing and a great engine shop.

Larry must have taken another building space...last time there they were double stacked on 4 post lifts all along both walls where the Porsche room is.
The glassed in room at the back is very cool....classy 'relaxing room' with wet bar etc. One of my favorites you didn't show....the Maserati A6GCS barchetta…..and the one I'd steal for sentimental reasons...the Maserati 3500 GTI
