Porsche Museum and the Red 917 K with the race number of 23.
The Porsche 917 that Porsche had its first Le Mans in 1970 was the car with chassis number 917-023. In the '70s old Porsche race cars were seen as an outdated tool that had little value, so 917-023 was sold to a private party, said to be Vasek Polak in the US. From there the car remained in private ownership.

However Porsche once discovered that the history of racing is written within the racecars themselves realized that one of the most significant Porsche's was missing from their collection and apparently the owner of 917-023 really did not want to give up his ownership of 917-023.

It is speculated that Porsche has taken the 917-001 and modified it to look like 917-023 for display within the Porsche Museum and on tours with the other Museums cars. See 917-023-001

This is the actual 1970 Le Mans winning 917-023 being raced in vintage races,

Always keep in mind that what you see may not always be what it is suppose to be.
