CAG Visits The Revs Institute In Naples

The Revs Institute in Naples, Florida, is more than just a museum—it’s a celebration of automotive history and the incredible stories behind iconic vehicles. Among its prestigious collection is the legendary 1967 Porsche 910/6, lovingly preserved as a tribute to its triumph at the 1967 Nürburgring 1000 km race, where Joe Buzzetta Sr. and Udo Schütz claimed a historic victory.

In a heartfelt visit, James Buzzetta and Jim Buzzetta recently had the opportunity to see this extraordinary piece of their family’s racing heritage. Standing beside the very car that Joe Buzzetta Sr. piloted to greatness, they reflected on the legacy of passion, determination, and excellence that continues to inspire them.

The Revs Institute offers more than a glimpse into automotive history—it’s a place where cherished memories and remarkable achievements come to life, connecting generations through a shared love of cars and racing.
