Probably a great investment if you've got the juice.

Not one of the prettier liveries, but I'd take it!

That'll be worth $2mm in 20 years, do the math. Now that everyone knows they are rare they wont get any rarer and their value might go up with inflation.

If you want a Gulf coupe I know where you can buy one - the camera car in the movie.

I think we should send Ghettoracer to ask "Can I drove your Porsche?"

If you look at it however an "Interseies" spyder is probably the "least valuable" 917 you can get. Why the iconic 917's were the coupes, long tail or short tail. The exception is of course the 917/10 & 917/30 turbo spyders can-am cars.

I'll ask for him. I have family coming down from the frozen tundra for the auction and will be joining them.

Can I put in a bid for you guys?
