Mjolitor 68

Here are the bits that will come back to life soon. She will be a holy terror once again. Striking fear into the hearts of Porsche 962s

Is Ryan Falconer rebuilding the engine or is it good to go?

Falcon

Nice!

Where did you find the car?

Mjolitor 68

My crew chief Gordon @ Hudson Historics found it for me

Not sure re engine yet though I know he built it originally

Will probably drop an 800hp V8 in there till I get a feel for the car before I drop in a 1200hp V6 turbo

That is going to be an amazing project rebuilding the car to it's former glory. Keep us informed of the progress - lots of pictures please !

Have fun restoring it.. We have Doc Bundy's signature on the driver side too!!!!

Maybe we need a forum for GTP Vettes

Awesome car.

How's this for coincidence: Watkins Glen just posted a picture of the car from 1988 as a promotion for their upcoming vintage weekend.

Mjolitor 68

Thanks

That's awesome, nice to see the Glen has good taste

I love the Glen

Once she is done the Glen is way up high on list of tracks to shred

Was just talking to Crew Chief at Hudson Historics in NY

Starting work on suspension, fuel cell, hoses, lines, & ordering parts that take a while.

Hope to have pics in a few months

Big fan of these cars. Was hoping that the rebuild was here in S. Fl.. Any plans to bring it to Homestead??

Mjolitor 68

Definitely running Homestead, Daytona, maybe Sebring in 2014

Plan on bringing it down to FL around Oct of next year once its too cool up North

I'll keep an eye out. Good luck on the rebuild!

Mr. Hendrick @ Road America...Doc Bundy was driving one of them...I think Al Unser Jr. the other...not sure about Little Al.

chuntington101

were they single turbo? Also did they run 2 intercoolers (one each side) or a single large one and a radiator in the other side?

5280Racer

They ran twin turbo V6's and also V8 engines... the side coolers are radiators. well they are both radiators on our car which is the Blue and white one above in the thread.

Nice pics

Sarel Van Der Merwe & Doc Bundy drove mine. They won Road Atlanta in 1986 from the Pole.

During testing she was driven by Mario Andretti, Al Unser, & Al Holbert

I told my crew chief I'll run the V8 w a "mere" 800hp before we drop the 1200hp turbo V6 in there

I was at the 88 race and have pics somewhere.

It's fantastic that the car's being brought back.

Where are the intercoolers? Pipe work looks like there are coolers on there.
