This BBS wheel is from one of the Dick Barbour Porsche 935's.... NOTE YELLOW PAINT UNDER THE RED...Many of the Barbour Team had yellow wheels including the Paul Newman car.
Dick Barbour: a talented team owner and skilled Porsche 935 driver. In 1978 he had shared his red #90 Hawaiian Tropic-sponsored 935 with John Paul and Brian Redman. Together they scored a 5th overall finish, first in the IMSA class. The two-car team in 1978 grew to four cars in 1979: three cars carrying Hawaiian Tropic sponsorship (red #70, yellow #71 and blue #72) plus the #73 Wynn car that joined the team at the last minute.
Teamed with Porsche factory driver Rolf Stommelen and the great American actor Paul Newman, Barbour again blew away the IMSA class competition in 1979. Most impressive was the performance of the trio to cross the line in second position overall!
