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 In 1960 Porsche used Italian
car maker Carlo Abarth (and Zagato) to help them compete with Ferrari.
The concept was to mate a light-weight low-slung aerodynamic Italian
body with a racing 356 chassis and competition 1.6 liter 4 cam engine.
Only 20 cars were produced. This combination
proved extremely effective as the Porsche Abarth Carrera won
its class at Le Mans three years in a row (1960-1962) and took 7th place
overall in 1962! They also took numerous class wins in
races such as the Targa Florio in Sicily and the 24 hours of Daytona
in the USA. In my opinion the 911 form is a direct
descendent of this body style. This Abarth Carrera was
sold new in Germany for road use and was later raced in Sweden. 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
