Headquartered in Scotts Valley of California, the peeps at Canepa specialize in classic cars and collector cars from the distant past. The driving force behind this go-faster shop with international recognition is Bruce Canepa, an old but lovely man who has competed in IMSA GT, Trans Am, sprint car racing, super modifieds, and the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. 30 photos
Bruce is a sucker for all things Porsche, more so if we’re talking about the 917 series. Designed to dominate the World Sportscar Championship and Can-Am, the mid-engined land missile gave the German automaker its first overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970. All told, the legendary brand won the most celebrated endurance event a whopping 19 times.
