cool find !!!

I guess I have this one in my collection :D

the exhaust is already fixed

[gms]

That model is Awesome! what scale is it?

[Gustl]

it's a 1/43 resine model from PIT

unfortunately I don't have the original box, so I don't know the exact model number
I found it on eBay a couple of years ago

it seems to be pretty rare, because I only saw it 2 or 3 times within the last 10 years

if ever I would see another one I'll let you know

I sanded the door to find the strip line and found the remains of the letters "ZUL"

[Gustl]

coooool :)

[gms]

Thanks guys, it is like an archaeological dig :p

[Randy]

Great find Glenn. Look forward to watching the updates.

[Dave_Darling]

I sanded the door to find the strip line and found the remains of the letters "ZUL"

From the pic, it looks more like "ZUP" or (more likely) "ZUF", possibly followed by another "F". As in Zuffenhausen.

Dave it is ZUL as in Zulkowski the driver, you can see the lettering in the period pictures.

[Dave_Darling]

It still looks like ZUP or ZUF to me, even knowing what it really is.

BTW, Kahler's and EASY are still around in the East Bay. You may be able to get some history for one or both of them.

Dave,
You really need to see the door in person to see where the black is sanded thru to the white gel coat and what is white paint over the black. I am most interested in finding Darrel Overstreet (the owner after Zulkowski) right now because I have only 1 race in the logbooks under his ownership. If you go back in this post you can see the spreadsheet with all the Trans-Am, SCCA and IMSA races the car participated in.

[gms]

here is picture of the large custom fuel cell
and the Dog-Ear Reinforcement Links

[gms]

the car has a removable windshield frame, it has posts on the end of the frame that fit into holes in the cowl.

[gms]

colors under the front cowl area, the windshield frame looks to be Adriatic blue.

[gms]

I cleaned off more paint on the side to get to the blue stripe.
I was able to get an area cleaned this area to match for the restoration.

The car was Porsche club raced in its last incarnation.

[gms]

I found an interesting feature, it looks like they put a strut between these two brackets to shore up the rear suspension mounting ear.

[gms]

here is the custom size fuel cell bladder, this will be pricey to replace!

[gms]

Started to strip paint and fill holes at the back of the car.
Someone put a Porsche reflector on the rear at one point :confused:

[varunan123]

I took my original bladder from my RSR ATL and they redid the entire thing was not too bad and did a fantastic job.

Raj

[gms]

cleaned the back panel and filled some more holes.
Note the bottom of the rear panel was removed for better cooling

[gms]

Looked at the trunk floor and decided to do a transplant.
Too many holes and wrinkles!

[dug]

Holy trunk floor Batman!

[gms]

trunk is cut, crappy piece, new piece fitted

So nice!

This month's Panorama has a picture from the June 1992 Second Creek PCA Club race in Denver. In the back of the pack you can see the car.

[dug]

Sweet. I ran my first track day ever at Second Creek in a spec miata. It was the last day before it closed for good two years ago. Stupid people built houses near the track and then decided they didn't like the noise from the open pipe V8s on the dirt oval. Unfortunately, they also couldn't differentiate that noise from the road course and so the whole place got closed down.

Anyway, it was a cool course. Not very long, but had some nice elevation change and some tricky braking zones with off camber kinks and stuff.

dug

[gms]

I finally found the Pit model kit for this car!
Anyone have a good reason why I shouldn't have the kit built?

[gms]

This was good to see, now I know what the text on the targa bar was

[Gustl]

cool find - congrats !!
I bet you picked it from eBay last week or so ... there was one offered, and when I came back to it a couple of hours later to send you the link it was already sold

to answer your question: I would keep it unbuilt MIB and look for a 2nd one - already built or another one to build up
but I'm an idiot, concerning this topic ... :rolleyes:

[gms]

After I told the Seller I owned that very car he was good enough to sell it to me with a buy-it-now!

Alright I will keep it MIB :(

[jhora]

That is just plain cool Glenn...
I agree with Wolfgang....they are usually more valuable not built...

[dug]

After watching the auctions for pit models this past week, I'd say the built ones are selling for 2-3x what the unbuilt models are.

dug

[dug]

It's official! Glenn has sold me this car! He has two other IMSA history cars, so no need to feel bad for him:)

I'll be arranging to go out to Chicago to get it this summer some time. In the mean time, I can stare at the log books and collect parts to get it race ready.

Here is the start of the first logbook...

[dug]

And more...

[dug]

Pages 11-15 of logbook 1...

[dug]

And the rest of logbook1...
Sears Point, Hallet, Portland Rose Cup, 6h Watkins Glen, RDC Enduro

[dug]

Logbook2 is all TransAm races.
Sears Point, Westwood, Portland, Laguna Seca

[Randy]

Congratulations Dug!

[dug]

Thanks Randy!
Here's a spreadsheet showing the logbook history combined with the IMSA race history that Glenn collected. Apparently, IMSA didn't use log books.

[dug]

Here is the final logbook with more TransAm races from 1979...

[dug]

Copa Mexico, Westwood, 6h Watkins Glen, Road America, Watkins Glen, Mosport

I found this metal tag from an SCCA race in 1976 where this car raced.

[dug]

Here is the PIT model I found. The detail is amazing. No, I did not build it.

[dug]

A few more shots of the PIT model. There are even labels on the seat belts.

[gms]

Wow that model has awesome detail!

[Gustl]

perfectly built !!!

I'm jealous :rolleyes:

Zulkowski at Sebring on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGCI4ny8DEA) at 2:10 min into the video

[Randy]

That's so cool

[Dave_Darling]

Looks like you see it again at 4:32, though only in silhouette.

--DD

[Gustl]

cool video !!

[Robby]

Very nice... Love the monotone voice of that color man.

[dug]

That is awesome. Looks like another 914 at 5:56.

[gms]

six 914s ran 12 hrs of Sebring in 1980

[dug]

Here are the screen grabs from youtube at 2:10, 4:32 and 5:56

I found these metal tags from various SCCA events that this car attended between 1976 and 1980 at Laguna Seca and Sears Point. The orange one on the left is from an IMSA event.

[gms]

wow that is awesome!
