Wow!

These were probably spare repair parts for quick change out during endurance races.
Does anyone know where this racecar is today? Does it still exist?

Darin, very nice find ...

A local Porsche race shop in San Jose (who would like to remain anonymous) has a GT1 in storage.
Let me know if you would like to take a look and get inspired to build one around your spare parts.

Yep he built the black Andial GT2 that was in excellence a while back. He usually hangs out on the 993tt forum but I'm sure he would enjoy seeing these parts off one of his old race cars

This is simply awesome shop art!! Way cool!

Trade for some indycar stuff?

Spool? Uprights? Front nose/wing assembly (road course config)?

And his shop is just across the freeway from mine. I still need to get him some photos I took of his 964 Cup at Daytona in '93!

Probably tens of thousands of $$ worth or parts. Incredible. I wouldn't part with them at all (unless you want to send me some!!!!). You should hang them on the walls and get additional cover on your shop insurance.
