Excellent story in today's WSJ about a special Porsche racecar and racecar driver from the the 60's, reunited again with the original owner and racer of long ago. The car is one fantastic and nimble little 911 that has a bit of interesting history!

"His Race Car Helped Porsche Get Ahead in the U.S."

"Bob Bailey’s 1968 Porsche 911L was imported to show the German automaker’s prowess at premier American tracks."

"... we formed a team with Porsche of America, painted the car white with blue stripes and raced it for another two years, including at the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Daytona against drivers like Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney, and the actor Steve McQueen..."
