been watching rokford files from the beginning on netflix and there were these two dope racing cars. this is the only photo I could find of them and its on an ebay auction for a photo. This is from the episode Never Send a boy king to do a mans job. They were injected V8 I believe.

Also this sweet firebird thing was in it.

Looks like a one-off shooting-brake based on a Firebird?

EDIT: Never mind. Just noticed the second pic. Maybe some sort of LeMans prototype?

The race car looks like a Can Am car (right age) but I cannot find one that matches.

it was in part 1.
What is awesome about that random article you found was the Vasek of the car to left and behind is clearly visible! confirming it was a porsche.

How the heck did you even find that?

I'm not sure. I got lost in a train of Google searches. I did search the Vasek name and found the picture that Drakkon posted. I'm almost certain that is the car.
