Porsche 917/30KL [PIC]

Josh's pics made me go take another look at Exoto's model with rolling chassis. It's a phenomnal piece of craftsmanship.

An amazing model of a car with a fantastic history.

I bought the Minichamps version off a fellow collector that was upgrading to this Exoto.

The Minichamps is pretty good, though does use decals...we'll see how they age.

Porsche 917-30

While with SCCA, saw this car race at Road America and have a photo framed of the car, Penske and Donahue. Hard to believe Mark died soon after.

Donahue was a rare talent............

Like Miles, McLaren & Lauda he was a master at developing race cars. And like a lot of test pilots he died far too young.

I don't know how many times I looked at the Pink Pig at shows.....

and I always blew my budget on something else.
It is now know as "the pig that got away". LOL

It is a cool, unusual looking model. I got mine fairly cheap, as it only had the base (which actually makes pig sounds) and was missing the outer box.
