The
following are Porsches Jack Reuter owned
1955
550 Spyder #550072 This
is a customer Spyder. Jack Reuter purchased it in Oregon and then
restored it to concourse condition. He later sold it to a German
collector who entered it in that years
German Porsche
parade where he won first place out of 350 cars. The new owner then ran two Mille Miglia
Historics with perfect success! 1960
Porsche Abarth Carrera Zagato GTL #1005 This
is one of 20 cars produced. In 1960 Porsche used Italian
body builder Carlo Abarth (and Zagato) to help them compete with Ferrari.
The concept was to mate a light-weight aerodynamic Italian
body with a racing 356 chassis and 1.6 liter 4 cam engine. This combination
proved extremely effective as the Porsche Abarth Carrera won
its class at Le Mans four years in a row and took 7th place
overall in 1962! It also took numerous class wins in
races such as the Targa Florio in Sicily and the 24 hours of Daytona
in the U.S.A. In my opinion the 911 form is a direct
descendent of this body style. 1956
550 A #0133 Jack
Reuter bought this car along with an RS 60 for $11,000. Ahh
the good old
days! 1955
Spyder #0019 This
Spyder was fitted with a fiberglass body. 1960
RS 60 #718-053
