Hi Vance
Interesting pic
I have no certitude what this car very similar to the Porsche Gmund number 1 is
A copy of this car is in expo at the Stuttgart Porsche museum
Anyway in the 5P0's many small German car constructors produced cars most of the time built on a VW bug chassis
Waibel was one of those
Inter"sting although the Waibel had the engine in the back it has a front grill coming from the British Morris Minor

The Gordini Porsche (sold now) is not said to be a replica and it is most likely that several ex-Gordini sold in South America were transform into Gordini-Porsche
The original Gordini had an home made twin cam engine very fragile
For sure very quickly the South American Gordini went out of order
Anyway for me I have difficulty to understand why transform them into Porsche powered cars
I believe it would have been rather easier to change the front Gordini motor by a US motor always in the front
Not much more than 40 to 50 max Gordini sport cars were built and raced
I have found one who is said to have raced the first Carrera Panamericana race in 1953
May be one of the Porsche modified ?

Do you know that Gilberte Thirion and Annie Bousquet (before they became ennemy) bought a Gordini that they raced in several occasion
When they fall out Gilberte Thirion kept the Gordini for her
For the 1958 Reims 12 hours were Annie Bousquet get killed in her 550, Gilberte Thirion was driving the Gordini
Thirion/Bousquet 1954 Agadir GP
