The 904 is one of my dream cars. Is the number "0" car a 917-10?

Wow! Quite an impressive collection.

You have reminded me that I have some pictures that I should share here as well. I will have to go search for the pics that I took at the Porsche museum in Stuggart a few years ago.

Isn't it actually owned by the Collier family? As I recall it is a private collection.
