    Zellerware, is this the one with the rear torsion bars mounted backwards to shorten the wheelbase?

    I was at Porsche Oct 9th and it was not on display then....

    But they keep changing the cars....

    Anyone got a photo of one of the Carerra ones, with the weird hardtop? You can't see behind you, but they look good.

    The earlier Pan american carreras are the weird hardtop ones ,

    the restored on is the first ever built , serial 001 I believe ,

    It was found in Mexico and restored in the SF Valley / Los Angeles ,

    its now in a museum in Florida

    I will try and find a link
