I love sportscar racing; whether it's long distance, or sprint races, full-body two seaters are my favorite. I particularly loved the old "Can Am" series that began in 1966. These cars were as close to "unlimited" as one could get, and showed a great variance in style. I will post my own examples (some original, some repainted by myself), but let's see what everybody else has as well.
Here are three examples of the AFX Porsche 917-10, in the three body configurations run in both Can Am and Interserie (European equivalent):

LTR: An AMRAC/ROKKAR "Manta" (copy of Lola T332, perhaps?); AFX Shadow Mk. II; AFX Ferrari 612 (all repaints):

LTR: AFX Porsche 917 (did run in a Can Am as a coupe); AFX Porsche 917-10 (called "510" for some reason by AFX); AFX Porsche 917-10(all repaints):

Your "assignment" (should you choose to accept it) is to post pictures of your open top sportsracers that ran in the Group 7 category, either in Europe or America, or maybe your own creations. Now, let's get cracking!
