Who knows what happened to the Interscope Racing 935 K3?
Daytona International Speedway Enlists Help from Industry and Fans to Locate Three Former Overall Champions for 50 Years of Rolex
The effort to assemble the most unique collection of overall Rolex 24 At Daytona championship cars to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the twice-around-the-clock challenge on Jan. 28-29 is well underway and 25 cars have already been secured. However, the whereabouts of three legendary cars remains elusive and officials at Daytona International Speedway are turning to sports car fans, industry partners and media representatives to help locate these past champions.
The 1979 Interscope Porsche driven by Hurley Haywood, Danny Ongais and Ted Field. The car delivered the fourth of Haywood’s five overall Rolex 24 wins.

Close, but no cigar. That car is chassis 17, and it was built in 1980, which is AFTER the 1979 Daytona 24...by a year...
