Group (5) Love
What you see here isn’t a loving recreation of an IMSA GTO class BMW 3.0 CSL. It it doesn’t simply have some big, box fenders slapped on and a retro paint job. No, this is the car that won the 1975 12 Hours of Sebring. Not just class winner, no. It was the overall winner.
With drivers like Sam Posey behind the wheel, this car outpaced Corvettes, Camaros, Carrera RSRs, 911 S’s, an AMC Gremlin of all things, and Ferrari 365 GTB/4 and GT4/BB’s. The car lovingly referred to as The Batmobile and Sharknose took home the overall win against titans of the racing world.
And there it was, in the H&R Booth at SEMA. Not every show car is a race car, but every race car is a show car.
