Chassis: 962-102
The second production 962 built, chassis 102 was sold new to Bob Akin. Sporting bright red Coca Cola livery, he raced the car in the IMSA GTP Championship from May 1984. The best result was a fourth overall in the 1985 Daytona 24 Hours where Akin co-drove with Hans-Joachim Stuck and Paul Miller. Following a very heavy accident at Charlotte, Akin replaced the car with chassis 113. The wrecked chassis was used for show car duties and was displayed in Roger Penske's museum for nearly two decades. The current owner commissioned Gunnar Racing to completely restore the car to its early 1985 configuration. Soon after the work was completed, chassis 102 was brought out for the 2009 Monterey Historic Races where it was raced by the late Bob Akin's son Bobby.
