The car that was surely an inspiration for Ferryman's Hot Rod?

Well, Mr.Starkey has a project car for $300,000

As well as a $275,000 '67S :shock:

Oh, and an ex Penske/Donohue RSR made up of 'some bits' POA:

so what exactly is the RSR ? Is it the chassis number + a few bits that have been sold ? .. I assume with the idea of 'creating' the penske RSR ???

During the Edmonton race in August, Holbert’s co-driver, Milt Minter crashed the RSR and it was taken back to the Holbert Porsche-Audi dealership and stripped of parts (we have the photos). In 2008, Larry Holbert, Al’s son, sold the rights and some small parts through me to a restorer, who is currently rebuilding the car to it’s original, Daytona specification.

As it reads, 'some small parts' doesn't exactly add up to a complete RSR does it :?: I doubt whether the chassis could be considered a 'small part' or the engine/gearbox, etc?

Unless we're reading this incorrectly I would say chassis identity plus maybe what, the tacho? the steering wheel? :wink: :)

Maybe we should give Mr. Starkey the benefit of the doubt until someone fills in on some details...
