Over in the Zentastic Garage, Shannon Larratt has dug out one of his old projects, a Laser 917 kit car. After years of sitting in a corner somewhere, the Porsche 917 replica is set to have a complete reworking. Updated headlights and a more streamlined windshield will be just the beginning from the sounds of things. For now, the car has been brought home for the initial clean up. Currently without a powerplant, Mr. Larratt is looking for a reasonably price (can you say free?) beetle engine to drop in, just to get the car moving. Regular readers may remember Shannon, he’s the guy with the camoflage painted Porsche 911. I’m sure we can expect the same type of cool when the Laser is finished.
A friend took this project over but if there are any updates to it I’ll post them at http://www.priceofhistoys.com/ (recently re-launched).
hey, How far along is the project so far? Any more pic’s?

WANT TO BUY 917
SATMAP@AOLCOM
just wondering if your friend still has his 917. wesley_meyers @ yahoo . if not sorry to bug you.
I have a nice Laser 917 If you are still interested in buying one.
I have a 917 that my father built and left to me after he died. I finely have it up and running after several repairs. Now I need to put a new gas tank into it. Does anyone know how to do that? Please respond with any suggestions I have know idea.
get a tape an find out how big the tank is top to bottom and side to side . if it is not a custom tank you can find maybe another tank that will fit in junk yard or have 1 made at welding shop. i got a cool 12 gallon tank from an old generator that i put in a mud buggy long time back works great. Or you can go online an buy a plastic tank like for a stock car from a web site called Jegs or JC Whitney hope it helps
Paulie- please send me information on the 917 for sale to LPAVETTO@COMCAST.NET

I built a Laser 917 Kit when I lived in Los Gatos, California in 1976. I put it on a 1969 VW pan. A few years later, I sold it. It was orange. I can recognize it, because the front end had a minor “mis-hap”. I used aluminum “butt-blocks” to align and strengthen the cracked fiberglass, before I re-glassed and re-painted.
Any Idea how I might be able to find out what ever happened to it? I ran across the instruction booklet.
Far Out !This car was a part of American history. These were the days of the bat mobile, the wild 60’s and 70s and every other crazy. People were “way out” and “freaked out”. The extremes of everything was normal. This was the time of the sexual revolution and free love. This car reflects the attitudes and feelings of people of the time; this car was really “cool man”. It was about free speech and expression. You have to really understand what was going on in America during Viet Nam. I can’t give you a history lesson here, but man you should look into it. This car is “art’ and should be in a museum. You have to learn to appreciate what it is saying. The guy who designed this car needs to be written up as one a great car designer, because he had the courage to design a car that was the voice of the people and it was extreme and very, very cool.
From what I understand there are 21 registered cars out there and if you are lucky enough to have one, then good for you. Don’t sell your cars cheap because people don’t know what they stand for. This car is beautiful and I love it!
Pass it on 917’s.
