Well, I clicked on that link that he provided and took at look. Maybe I am reading it wrong, but, I believe that in position #7 there was a 944 GTP that raced, or am I seeing wrong?

It was entered as a 924 GTP...... there was no such car as a 944 in 1981 , the 944 moneker came later , when the engine was later linked to that car as a 944 LM , porsche never "officially" ran a 944 @ lemans ...It had to run in the GTP ( prototype ) class as the engine was not a production model .....

the pics you quoted are of the '1981 Porsche 924 GTP (944LM)'. this is the 944 dohc 16v turbo prototype. the 924 Carrera GTR is the top of the line 2.0L audi-based engine car. Both raced in 1981 Le Mans 24 hrs:

that link is the one I usually search for when this topic comes up. note the 2 924 carrera GTR's that DNQthat aren't listed in the wiki link. Peter Brock was a leading Australiasian motorsports figurehead until he tragically died in a targa event last year driving an AC Cobra Daytona replica. Actually his 1 yr anniversary is coming up this month

Were those pictures taken at a private or public collection? If public, where?

I believe we have one of those cylinder heads here should someone be looking for something really special and unique. Not a bolt on.
! I took these a couple years ago while at a certain shop in the West Coast that also had 3 959s being serviced!
