935/78 - "Moby Dick" pictures request

[Gil Abobeleira]

Hi, I was surfing the web today and I found this photo from the original 935/78:



(The page with the photo is this one: http://www.qv500.com/porsche911scp8.php)

Does anyone have more photos of this "original" 935/78? (note, the doors are different than the doors in the 935/78 raced by the Martini Porsche Team at the Silverstone 6hours and the LM 24h). Seeing that picture, well, it looks even more gorgeous

One of my all time favourite racing cars

You can see where the idea for the 993 GT1 came from. Amazing shape and colour scheme. You cannot talk about today's prototypes looking good (with possible exceptions of R8, Zytek and Riley & Scott) when there were examples like this 30 odd years ago!

Does anyone remember the Blue Coral 935's (K3's though i think) of the 90's on the Brit GT rounds? When I was a boy they were just THE business in the paddock.

One for sale here chaps, group buy?

Gil-
A book worth checking out is Paul Frère's "Porsche racing cars of the seventies"; amongst many other things it charts the development of the 935s, inc. 'Moby Dick' and explains most of the various modifications, wings and fenders, door cowlings and other little tweaks that were tried out, (plus a mass of comparative aerodynamic data, in case you have trouble sleeping! )

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it
