Re: Other Muscle....
Van, you're a sick man....I love it! . Great move w/ the Porsches....having Hans Stuck's 962 is unreal! . Is this an '86 chassis and is it the one Stuck crashed at Daytona? . Love to see any detail shots you can share....chassis, engine, anything....tags-identification would be too cool! . I haven't forgotten that PM I owe you. .

Re: Other Muscle....
At Daytona Stuck had an accident 29 laps into the race on the bank in what sounds like a rare driver error . He had qualified the car 5th out of the field of 69 cars that started the race. It is chassis 962 113. He redeemed himself a month later at the Sebring 12 hour race when he went head to head with Derek Bell in the middle hours of the race eventually forcing Bell to make a mistake and over took 1st place...plus my car lost a center lock wheel twice during the race and still managed to win averaging a 116 mph for 12 hours . That is why I never use a air gun on my center locks.. a big manual torque multiplier wrench only !

Re: Other Muscle....
Great stuff Van! . You're so right w/ rare errors by Stuck....he's a pretty flawless driver and has spent a lot of time in the 962s. .
I see Jackie Ickx & Jo Gartner's name in the one 962 pic....these are older shots? . What year was Gartner's fatal ride at Lemans? On the 935....is this Akin's Kremer K3 car? . What's next on the list....a 917 maybe? . ~ Pete

Re: Other Muscle....
Gartner fatal accident was June 1st,1986 at Le Mans..May 26, 1986 he was in my 962 finishing 6th over all at Lime Rock. Here is a good bio on Gartner and it mentions he won Sebring in my car crossing the finish line with only three wheels ...shame , great driver http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/drv-garjo.html
A 917.. I wish. There is one for sale . It has little history but it is still close to 2 million dollars. My 935 is " The Last 935 " and is the tube frame car that FabCar built for Akin at the end of 1983. The car had great finishes in the top 10 with a 5th at Sebring and, 2nd at Daytona but at this point it had to run in GTP with all the 962's, Jags, March, Spice etc...still ,it was competative
