CANEPA DIFFERENCE

An investment in a Canepa collector car goes beyond obtaining a premier classic or historic racing car - it is the assurance that your vehicle has been inspected, restored, repaired, and vetted by mechanical artisans and experts.

This includes a thorough mechanical and cosmetic inspection; a top-to-bottom service; any restoration to ensure the vehicle is in show condition; extensive road testing; and a complete Concours quality detail of the engine, chassis, exterior, and interior – and that is only the beginning of the Canepa Difference.

At Canepa you’ll find automotive nirvana in our 70,000 square foot facility in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains where the world’s best automotive artisans work to preserve the most important road cars and competition vehicles for generations to come. Historic race car owners trust our motorsport team to deliver the expertise to restore and run their vehicles at the highest level.

1982 Porsche 935 L  font size = "4"Debuted at the 1982 24 Hours of Le Mans Designed  built by Chuck Gaa Purpose-built monocoque bonded aluminum chassis  3.2 liter turbo flat-six font size = "4"800+ hp Eligible to compete in historics worldwide  This is Bob Akin's famous Le Mans car of 1982. It was one of the wildest Porsche 935s of the post-factory era, and also one of the fastest.  From 1977 the Porsche 935 was the car to have if you wanted to win IMSA or world championship events, but by 1982 it became very clear that a standard 935 was no longer competitive. The Porsche factory built its last 935 in 1979, so it was left to private teams to develop the cars with more aggressive aerodynamics and chassis designs.  Bob Akin knew if he wanted to win, he would have to come up with something totally radical for the 1982 season. Akin commissioned Chuck Gaa of Gaaco to design and build a "Super GTP 935". To improve aerodynamics and increase the straight-line speed of the new car a Lola T600 GTP nose was used. A new purpose built monocoque bonded aluminum chassis was constructed combining the best of the new GTP technology with the proven power and reliability of the Porsche 935 mechanicals.  According to the rules, the windshield and roof section of a standard Porsche 930 still had to be used. To improve airflow even further the entire roof structure was tilted to put the windshield at a better angle.  Due to its complexity and unique design, the car was delivered late after the season had already begun. It made its first appearance at Lime Rock in May, which served as a test for Le Mans. At the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June the car's design came into its own and showed tremendous straight-line speed down the famous Mulsanne Straight. Unfortunately Akin and co-drivers David Cowart and Kemper Miller only lasted two hours before a malfunction with the reserve gas tank sidelined the car.  After Le Mans the car returned to the United States to compete in the remainder of the 1982 IMSA season. After much testing and development the car finished fourth at Mid-Ohio with Akin and Hurley Haywood driving, and seventh at Road Atlanta with Akin and Derek Bell. The car's final appearance would be at the Pocono 500.  The car sat in Akins shop until 1999 when Jacques Rivard purchased the car and performed a complete restoration, bringing the car back to better than new condition. All suspension components were crack checked, and new components were used where needed. GS Autoworks completely rebuilt the engine and transmission. It now is one of the most potent 935s in vintage racing.  Canepa completed a full inspection and detail on the car. It is in spectacular condition and is eligible to compete in historics worldwide, including the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
