(Apparently, this car was not entered into any events after its 1957 appearance at Sebring, until around 1970 when it started showing up at club events in Southern California. The Porsche AG archivist doesn't have anything additional on file regarding that time period.
Most aluminum body panels were replaced during restoration.)
