There was a 917K road car back in the day. Count Rossi (of Martini and Rossi fame) wanted a fast car for autobahn blasts, so he used his connections with the
Martini Porsche racing team to secure a 917K for the street.

razersedge,
You gotta learn to trust Kurt. He's got as good of a sense of humor as anybody, better than a lot. But he knows an awfully lot about cars and he won't lead you astray. tangmere, thanks for the history excerpt on this car. It looks pretty cozy with two people in the cocpit. Hope they are good friends.
Greg

wet...

Great story and thanks for sharing. I had a feeling it was quite accurate, esp. when you're dealing with a guy with connections to the factory and
bazillions of shekels to boot.

were headed to Chicago to practice with the new chassis when the skies opened up and dumped three of the five Great Lakes on us. I've never seen so many
cars knocked into ditches or overturned by rain.
