1968 Trans-Am Champion- Porsche U-2-7, a very special car. Part 6
April 20th, 2010, Features
Tuesday was bitter-sweet as U27 headed to a new home; I’ll miss having the car though it will be going to a well seasoned vintage racer who most certainly has the talent to drive it well. A2Z and I had lunch with its new “custodian” today. Over lunch, the topic of “tribute cars” came up and we agreed that this car, though not the real 1968 championship winning car, was as close as anyone could possibly make it and THAT is what attracted its new owner. With Tony, Mac and Don all being consulted in the build (those who built the original some 42 years ago) it may be the best and perhaps only time that the same group of guys were brought together to bring a truly great car back to life. The big applause however, goes to Marc Zurlinden…race car builder extraordinaire…well done Marc; truly, well done!!!
On a side note, Marc…..those on that other web-site that we both admire so very much…..well, they can kiss our lilly white butts! 
Sure would have liked the chance to drive this fantastic car on a track just once…….the smile factor must be enormous.
