Default Need help for Pictures of a 2.5 Widebody

@all,

and also not the Ralleyversion (which is a little bit wider then SC/Carrera, but less than turbo) like this
,
I'm searching for pictures 2.5 S Widebody TURBO-BODY like this:

Try here: http://www.plavanracing.com/porschestpage1.htm

Or do a web search on "Porsche 911ST" . The 2.5 911 version with widebody flares was a late "ST" racing model (as opposed to the early STs, which were 2.3 and 2.4L), which evolved in 1973 into the 2.8 RSR, similar to your last photo (which appears to be Jack Olsen's "Black Beauty"). There was a lot of variation to the flares used on the ST models.

There are a lot of great period pics of the STs and RSRs in this thread (and others) on the Early 911S Registry forum.

TT

That's my car. (So thanks.) It's not a 2.5, though. The body style is something like the 2.8 RSR, but not exactly that. It's my own interpretation of that era's look.

If you do a search on this site with my user name and 'pictures' you'll see a lot. Otherwise, see these links from the Pelican BBS:

Thank you for the quick response.
Very nice pictures, I looked the whole weekend but still didn't found any 2.5S with Turbo-flares except the 'black beauty'

I think the body you are talking it's not the S but the 2.5 ST that run the 72 GT IMSA Series like the ones showed below
