Walter Rohrl + 904 on video

I searched, didn't find this, and wanted to share.

A few thoughts. Car is from the Porsche Museum. These were overwhelmingly race cars and I think the dash was raw fiberglass. Why did the museum cover the dash in leather? Also, I don't think they originally had door panels. This one even had 914 door pulls.

Early on I thought Rohrl looked a little uneasy. Then I noticed that there don't seem to be any seat belts. I suppose that is one way to ensure drivers treat your museum piece with kid gloves.

It's interesting that Porsche puts a six cylinder in this, not a Fuhrmann Four-Cam. But I do understand, as the four-cam is pure unobtainium. And Porsche did a limited number of cars with sixes back in the day.

Finally, Walter Rohrl is EPIC!

Best-looking car ever, in my opinion. Great video too.

We saw this very-nice replica at the PVGP in 2011 (and it there the previous year too). This shot was in our hotel parking lot.....funny to get up in the AM and see this sitting near all the regular vehicles in the lot.
