Cool Cars Abound!

The aluminum body 910 on display at a Nord Stern car show at Carousel.

Jack Zimmer, then owner of Carousel Porsche+Audi, took note of the 910 at the SCCA Run-offs at Road Atlanta one year. That winter he located one in Canada and purchased it FOB Detroit. The seller just threw it in the back of a truck without properly securing it. On the trip to Detroit, the car bounced around and the lightweight 910 body was destroyed. He then had California aluminum race car body builder Troutman-Barnes built a custom body for the car and it was converted in a "street" car. The car was on display for many years at Carousel until Tom Countryman bought it and put a 910 body on it. He sold it to a Japanese collector.
