I want to point out that this is not the original chassis of the 72 Car. Rick Deman bought the parts including body work from when the car was upgraded to EVO 2 from the EVO1 and built this car using a 964RS America chassis.
The original car was a 964 Turbo S race chassis from Porsche. The car ran in that trim and was then upgraded to the 993 EVO body work you see here, and then further iterated to an Evo 2 with even wider rear fenders. This is the body work from prior to the conversion to the even wider stance and the Evo 2 bumper.
Dave Schnoor who did the original graphics still produces and even applies the graphics to this original body work. He is a perfectionist and wants it just right. Some liberty has been taken with the exact livery, by adding the number to roof instead of the big STP logo, changing the HH Brown Footwear to Depew Motorsports, and changing the number location on the doors.
I will post more later and answer questions, but wanted to quickly clear up the "original part" in the quote.
Hello Gents, I owned and restored the original #72 car. The car ran a air-to-air 962 flat fan motor. I sold the car to Alex Welch in Colorado about four years ago....
Just happened to stumble across this thread. Yes, I have the car, much of the original bodywork, a ton of documentation including the original bill of sale from 1991 turbo to champion which, as mentioned, was updated through the years of its professional racing. I have selectively raced it and plan to have it at Rennsport this year. I was over at the shop last night and took a pic... The car went through a full tub-up restoration before I bought it, and it does have the original custom flat fan motor still that Porsche and Andial had built.
Perhaps retubbed would be a more thoughtful description.

Frank, it's a lovely car and people really like seeing it at events.
At least I have been vindicated. The car in the original post is not a retub and is just a clone maybe using some original bodywork. The original post is quite inaccurate since the car is NOT a Champion car!

Scott, you are always right and never in doubt. Would have made a great surgeon!
@vinders - I hope I didn't offend you as that wasn't the goal, rather it was to say this is the original because you already stated yours was not. I've seen the same graphics scheme on a 964 and people love it so I'm honored to have the original as well as clones out there.
