Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche dies at 76 - Sympatico.ca Autos
Until I read this, I did not realize that this was "Butzi" Porsche. I know I saw a photo identifying Butzi as a young man in overalls with a prototype of the 914 saying that he was on that design team. I figured the 911 was designed before his time.
