That looks expensive. So why the hell was the helicopter on the ground preparing to take off not "in it's box?"

I'll bet there are new rules in place...

One bird was on the pad spooling up, the second came in to land and allowed the tail to swing to the left into the rotor disk of the other.

I thought the Abarth was of a friend , he had the 904
could be wrong though, either way he had his hands on a lot of those Type 547 engines..
most 547 engines in the us he at one point or another had in his shop..

In the opinion of many an aficionado, the 904 was the greatest road-going Porsche of all. It certainly set the pattern for a whole generation of racing Porsches, but its beauty cloaked the fact that it wasn’t as aerodynamically perfect as it might have been, and it was overweight, too.

1952 Cunningham

By 1951 the Cunningham practice was to use “R” to designate racing cars. The “K” added to this one referred to Dr. Wunibald Kamm, a German scientist brought to this country after World War II. Reducing drag coefficient was his special area of expertise, Kamm being the first to demolish the theory that race cars were most competitive with long, pointed tails. Aerodynamically efficient Kamm-back coupes proliferated after the war. This Cunningham is a Kamm-back but with a difference. It is the only car known to have received the personal touch of Dr. Kamm himself, who made a quick trip to West Palm Beach to flatten this Cunningham’s tail.

1951 Porsche
Type: 356SL Gmünd Coupe

While the exact number is debatable, less than fifty Gmünd coupes were built in 1949. At some
point a handful with serial numbers above fifty − assembled in 1950 after the factory returned to Germany −
were converted to SL (Sport Leicht) racing specification and renumbered as 3000 series cars. In addition to
a new serial number series, SL configuration involved such visible differences as louvered steel quarter
“windows”, full wheel spats, streamlined aluminum belly fairings, pedestal-mounted shifter and, for Le
Mans, a third roof-mounted wiper arm, remote oil filter and driving-lights. Gmünd coupes carried the
Porsche name into competition for three years at Le Mans as well as in several rallies, notably Liège-Rome-
Liège where one finished first in class and third overall. Said John Wyer when he saw the new Porsches at
Le Mans: “interesting … but the engine is in the wrong end.”

This is actually not a body but whats known as a plug. It is what is used to make a mold with. One of the giveaways are those two big posts that are laminated in the center, this is to keep the roof rigid while the fiberglass is being laminated over it..
