The purple car with the green graphics. See attached photo . You can see it in the movie Le Mans with Steve McQueen. I saw it in 2001 when I raced a Daytona. It is a beautiful car.. known as the hippie car

Jeff,
That is the long tail.. I am not sure if the short and long tail are two seperate cars or one car with different tail sections.I saw the car on display in 200 or 2001 when I raced at Daytona .
I do know that the 917 will run the Mulsanne straight at 225-245 mph .. hour in and hour out for 24 hours ... unreal what some of those old race cars would do!

Hey Van....although the 'Hippie' 917 paint is radical it's nothing compared to the 917 'Pig'....what a paint job that one had! .
Have you ever had a chance to run Lemans w/ anything yet?

My 0171 car finished 2nd in class at Le Mans in 1976 so it was accepted for the Le Mans Classic this year but my engine builder has had some health problems and it just didn't come together. It is going to be a struggle to make Monterey in August so I am trying to get the Coca~Cola 935 accepted as an alternate so I do not miss the event this year.
The pig 917 was a unique looking ride!
