Hawaiian Tropic 930
Hey RL Crew,
I just hung up with Mr. Dyer. He is curious to know who Canepa sold his old Hawaiian Tropic 930 to recently. Anybody have any idea? Perhaps someone in the community can help us? Have a blessed day!

Hawaiian Tropic
The car in question is a '74 3.0 Porsche RSR race car, not a 930.
By the way, the "Hawaiian Tropic" sponsorship was a one race deal that Michael Keyser brought so he could do the Daytona 24 hr race. The HTgirls were very nice.
Not sure why a previous owner would have wanted to do that livery, versus how the car looked when it won Sebring 12hr.
Jim Fraley, a vp at Ford now has the car. He just did the Daytona 24hr historic event with Bobby Rahal. There are some videos up now on You Tube showing Rahal at the helm. Nice car, nice history.
