Chassis:
One of two 917/30s used by Team Penske during the 1973 Can-Am Challenge, chassis 003 was the most successful. It was driven by Mark Donohue to victories at Mid-Ohio, Road America, Edmonton, Laguna Seca and Riverside. In 1974 Brian Redman also used the car, now heavily restricted, to finish second at Mid-Ohio. The 917/30 was dusted off for high speed trials at Talladega where Donohue set a closed circuit record of 211.160 mph on August 9th, 1975. A year later, it was sold to noted American collector Otis Chandler. In 1983, it passed into the spectacular collection of Jacques Setton, where it remained until the mid-2010s. It has since been acquired by an American collector and has been meticulously restored to full running order by Canepa Motorsports.
