Equipment
RHD. Originally a coupe 917.021 raced by the Finnish Porsche distributor at Spa, Watkins Glen, Nurburgring and Le Mans in 1970. Converted to 5.4 liter Spyder specs by Porsche and raced by Leo Kinnunen to win the Interserie championship in 1971. Sold to Harrahs after restoration (maybe by Vasek Polak), then restored by in the 90s Gunnar Racing with a new tub but unused since. Engine used only about one hour since before Harrahs ownership. Excellent paint, otherwise a quality old race car restoration that shows age but little if any use.
Market commentary
Reported sold by RM at Monterey in 2005 for $863,500 in a process that was something of a struggle but at least when it was offered here at Amelia it ran well and didnt have a flat tire. It really needs a home where it will get some use.
