In 1965, it was prepared as a road car for eventual sale to a private customer. For this purpose, it was fitted with a newly available 160 DIN HP, 2.0 L, 6-cylinder type 901 motor.

In addition, like 904-001 and 904-003, it was rather exotically trimmed with a leather interior. The dash, door panels, sills, seats and the shift-linkage tunnel were all finished with this material. The dash pod was of a unique design, containing three gauges : a speedometer with mileage counters, a tachometer in the center and a three-in-one unit measuring oil pressure, oil temperature, and fuel level. And, though not unique, it was also fitted with a Webasto gas heater. Unlike the production 904s, 904-002 was fitted with 6 X 15" forged alloys and 185/70 tires. To accommodate wider wheels, the rear fenders were slightly enlarged.

Painted light blue, it was sold to a Dr. Schubart of Germany. In the early 1970's, it made its way to Mexico City, where it was owned for a short time by Victor Hugo O'Farrel. Mr. O'Farrel traded the car to Bill Jones of San Antonio, Texas, who cleaned up the car and installed VW door handles.
By the mid 1970's, Jones sold 904-002 to Bob Davidson of Santa Rosa, California. Mr. Davidson showed the car at PCA events and kept it in pristine condition until it was sold to another Californian in the 1978. The car now regularly appears at Southern California car meets. 2002 : USA.

2003 : Mail From a previous owner : I owned 904002 from 74 to 78. Joe Rusz published an article and photos in Porsche Sport 1976/77. I could photo you a copy if you don't have it. 904002 was one of three test cars and was never sold as a new car. Instead it was shoved in a corner until Dr. Schubart, a Porsche factory exec had it prepared for his personal street use. The factory dropped a new 1967 911S motor in it. Dr. Schubart later sold the car to the Porsche VW regional importer Bill Reynolds(?) in San Antonio Texas. Bill imported the car via Mexico, and registered it in Texas. I bought it from Bill for $15,000 (the highest price anyone had heard of to date) and then drove it direct to an auto cross Santa Rosa CA and competed. On the way, in West Texas, we blew the doors off a Cadillac Coupe de Ville (that damn Caddy did an honest 125 MPH). I got her airborne several times on the humpy road between Barstow and Bakersfield (no air dam). The way you know your airborne in a 904 is when the tack red-lines (no drag on the rear wheels). I registered the car in California...license plate: IXOIV. We actively campaigned the car for 4 years in PCA events including, autocross, concourse and rally. Took second place in the unlimited class at the 78 Parade (lost to a 908 but beat the 935 that just returned from Le Mans. Generally took 4th in the concourses. I also ran her at "Cannonball speeds" from Santa Cruz, CA to the Aspen Parade in 78. 1060 miles in 12 hours 45 minutes...83 MPH average speed. On a new freeway in Colorado, I was able to hold her at 165 MPH for ver an hour. At the time, I believed I had more road time behind the wheel of a 904 than anyone else in the world. I can't remember who I sold her to in 78 but the price was $28,000--I needed the dough to start my business. The buyer claimed to own another 904 at the time...one that the factory actually raced. Oh, and he lived "across the street from Roger Penske". 904002 was the cover car for the Porsche sales brochure, but instead of velour interior, the factory did the interior up in a special blue leather. It was kind of "rolled and tucked" a la Tijuana. The paint scheme is the same as 904001 that is in the factory museum, only its a baby blue over midnight blue.

Being factory car N° 906-002, this was the second of very few original, factory built 904s fitted with the new 901 type 6 cylinder engine of a 2 liter displacement.
As a factory car, in December 1964 it underwent a testing program in Monza, where several solex carburetor tests were conducted with H. Linge, against 906 001, fitted with Weber carburetors.
Tire tests were also conducted.

Michael Weber, the next owner, a hillclimb driver, is featured in an article in Autosport magazine, dated Sept. 24, 1965 as having won a round of the european Hillclimb Championship in Gaisberg, Austria, with a 904 GTS.
in 1980 FIA papers declare that the car was used for historic racing. Dr Tang participated in several historic racing events, such as the 1985, 1986 & 1988 “Oltimer Grand Prix”.
André Lara Resende competed in the April 1999 “Tour Auto” historic rally in France (competition category).

2002 : restored, Le Mans classic.

Restoration : Body work was exceptionally original, with evidence of only a nose clip having been replaced at some time. Rust in the stamped steel chassis was minimal, and the basic structure was very straight. The fiberglass was redone only as necessary to clean up years of racing wear and tear. The car was finished in dark green. A modern roll cage of chrome molybdenum steel was buit and installed for safety. The fender flares were removed, bringing the car to its original factory specification bodywork. The upholstery was redone in original type blue german cloth. Mechanically, everything was inspected, cleaned and rebuilt where applicable, and the original open megaphone-exhausts re-installed for racing.

Sold to Robert Hess, sold to Schwartzmann. 2000 : for sale USA .

Originally a Factory race car, it was driven to the following results in 1964:

- April 26th, Davis & Pucci, 1st - Targa Florio;
- May 17th, wore #41, Jurgen Barth, 5th - Spa 500 Km;
904-005 then received the latest Factory upgrades, including the larger rear air intakes, for the 1965 season. In 1965, it achieved the following results:
- March 27, wore #40, Gunther Klass & Lake Underwood, 5th - Sebring;
- May 9, Gerhard Koch & Antonio Pucci, 5th - Targa Florio;
- May 23, Gerhard Koch & Ben Pon, 25th - Nurburgring 1000 KM;
Herbert Mueller then used 904-005, as a Factory entry, in the 1965 European Hillclimb Championship. He achieved the following results:
- June 6, 4th - Mont Ventoux - Müller;
- June 12, 2nd - Rossfeld;

- July 25, 4th - Cesana Sestriere;
- August 8, DNF - Freiburg Schaunisland;
- August 29, 4th - Ollon-Villars;
904-005 was then shipped to the US in early 1966, where it achieved the following results :
- February 5, 1966, Gerhard Mitter & Joe Buzzetta, 7th - Daytona 24 Hours;
- March 26, 1996, Dieter Glemser & Udo Schutz, DNF - Sebring 12 Hours;
Through its office in Teaneck, New Jersey, the car was then sold to American.
Kent Morgan of Arcadia, California, acquired 904-005 in the 1970's.
He sold it in the 1980's to acquire and restore 906-157.
In the mid-1990's the car reappeared for sale through Dale Miller.

Subsequently, and almost 30 years after he raced the car at Daytona in 1966, Joe Buzzetta, of St. James, New York, acquired 904-005. Since, Mr. Buzzetta has acquired a 906 that he also raced, a 910, a 907, and a 908/02. 904-005 has made a number of appearances at vintage races in the US, including the 1998 Monterey Historic Races.

In the late 1990's, 904-006 found its way Stan Gold with the help of Mark Leonard, in some sort of an exchange for his 1600 GTL Abarth Berlinetta, # 1005. Mr. Gold, who has hosted Porsche gatherings at his home in Beverly Hills, is an avid enthusiast who uses and shares his beautifully kept Porsche racing cars, including a 550, a Carrera GT Speedster, and a 910.
At the 2001 inaugural running of the Gauthier Classic, 904-006 was crashed in a road accident. Since, the car has been completely repaired in Florida. 2002 : Le Mans Classic. 2003 sold to England.

Originally delivered to Louis Anfossi in Paris, France. He quickly sold the car to a gentleman racer from Perpignan, France, named Lavain. “1877 AE 74”, the car was very badly crashed and, essentially, written off.
The remains of the car were sold in the 1980's to Bernard Comte.
Registration was used by Tourroul to race another 904. in the TDF 1969.

NB : races results confusion between 906007 and 906008

The car was owned by Aln Hamilton who in 1965 was working at the Porsche Factory. Hamilton purchased the Kangaroo which came second in the 1965 targa Florio driven by Mitter/Davis. This car had chassis nr. 906 007. Hamilton had the factory remove the eight cylinder engine and replace it with a 6 cylinder because it would have been very difficult to mantain the 8 cylinder for him in Australia where he is living. Hamilton imported the car in Australia in 1965 under under a custom document called "section 162" (temprary import) which allowed him not to pay duty and sales taxes. The car was raced successfully by him towards 1966. At the end of 1966 Hamilton ordered from the factory a new updated chassis complete with suspension brakes, and body. The new car had no chassis number and Hamilton transferred chassis 007 to the new car as well as the original motor gearbox and other technical components. As said by Hamilton, the old chassis did in a legal sense no more exist. By the end of 1967 the car had to be exported, because, the custom paper were expiring and the taxes had to be paid. Hamilton sold the car to Richard Wong in Singapore who had a lot of fun with the car before getting in jail. It is as this time that Teddy Yip got involved into the car, which he shared with Dr Henry Lee of Singapore. Mr Lee, died passed away and his wife decided to sell the car.The car travel for UK

Originally a Factory race car 8 cylinders, it was driven to the following results : 1964, wore # 186, Barth/Maglioli 6th-Targa Florio ; 1964, #127 1000 km Nürburgring Barth DNF accident. Also Le Mans 1964, Sebring 1965, Le Mans 1965.

For 1965, it was upgraded with the latest factory modifications. At that time it received the larger air intakes on the rear bodywork. Subsequent to its racing career, 904-008 was retired and sat, unused, until it was sold in mid-1966 to King Hussein of Jordan. The King, a notable sportsman, actually raced the car and added to the car's successes. He ran 904-008 on at least two occasions and obtained the following results : October 10th, 1966, 1 OA Rumman Hillclimb ; May 12th, 1967, 1 OA Rumman Hillclimb;

It appears that the car was retired from competition in 1967 and was parked and forgotten in the King's garages. In 1975, 904-008 was apparently given to Porsche for its museum. In exchange, the factory gave King Hussein a new car for his personnal use.

This, the first customer 904, was first delivered to Otto Zipper's Precision Motor Cars in Los Angeles. As a Precision Motors or Zipper entry, it was raced extensively and likely was the car used to obtain the following results in 1964:
- March 21st, wore #36, Ritchie Ginther & Ronnie Bucknum, DNF - Sebring 12 Hours;
- April 26th, wore #33, driven by Scooter Patrick, 3rd OA - Riverside USRRC GT;
- May 3rd, wore #33, driven by Scooter Patrick, 5th OA - Laguna Seca USRRC GT;
The car was then sold to an amateur racer, also from the Los Angeles area. He sold the car to Roger Pitts of Dana Point, California. By the late 1960's 904-011 had suffered the indignity of being equipped with a Chevrolet Corvair motor and, generally, becoming a tired old racecar.
In 1971, 904-011 found its way to Calgary, Alberta, in the hands of Norbert Glimpel for $4800. Though offered the disassembled 4-Cam, Mr. Glimpel chose instead to acquire the car with the Corvair motor, that he would soon replace with a solex-carbureted 911 motor. In addition, he would adapt 904-011 to the Northern climate by installing a gas heater. Mr. Glimpel used the car for ice-racing in the winter of 1971 and then run in hillclimbs and road races in the summer.
From Glimpel, 904-011 was sold to Californian Floyd Shannon, who had run an ad looking for a 904 in 1972. Norbert remembers getting about $5500 for the car. It then found its way to Don Orosco, a real estate developer from Fresno, California. This would be one of many racing Porsches that Mr. Orosco would come to own. He offered the car for sale in the late 1970's for $45,000, proving that by that time 904's were already in fairly great demand and, no longer relatively cheap. By comparison, a 911 would sell for about $10,000 in 1972, whereas in 1978 an SC would sell for about $20,000. Around 1978 904-011 was acquired by Syd Baker, of Bellevue, Washington. With it, he acquired two 4-Cam motors (one, newly rebuilt by Jim Wellington, would replace Cordell Bahn's recently expired motor in 904-069) and a 911 motor (that would be traded for a new crankshaft for the other 4-Cam).
In the late 1970's Syd undertook a complete restoration of the car that would last five years. Though the body was not removed from the chassis, the chassis had been carefully checked for rust and the bond between the body and the chassis was also carefully inspected. The undertaking was completely documented in hundreds of photos. Remarkably, Syd undertook much of the work himself.

A trained aeronautical aerodynamics specialist, Syd has a remarkable eye for detail and took enormous care in restoring the car with utmost accuracy. He made a mold to fabricate a new dash that was the source for numerous other dashes that have appeared for sale through Heinz Heinrichs and Warren Eads. In addition, he went to great lengths to reproduce the blotchy blue painted finish of the interior fiberglass, at a time when few knew that Porsche had supplied the cars this way.

Norbert Glimpel, for one, saw it at the Monterey Historic Races in 1983 and did not recognize 904-011! In a letter to Syd, he remarked that, "the work done on it is simply unbelievable." Subsequently, Syd showed it at Porsche Concours events and ran it in a variety of vintage races in the Pacific Northwest, enjoying the car immensely.

In October of 2002, Syd and I met in Kingston, Ontario of all places. There, he spent an afternoon with me, generously offering the use of his huge collection of photographs, documenting the restoration of 904-011. This incredibly modest and talented man must be remembered as a pivotal figure in the 904 world. His restoration was, dare I say, seminal; authentic at a time when there was little in the way of references for authenticity.

In 1986, 904-011 followed the tide of 904's that were crossing the Pacific to Japan, being sold to a collector for $ 80,000. It was purchased for a Museum, where it stayed until about 2000. From Japan, it has recently returned to the US, though we have yet been able to confirm to whom.

Werkes Car : 1965-1968 - After being built in 1965, 906-011 first served as a ‘werkes’ car. Its most notable use was at the Le Mans trials in April 1965 (#33 driven by Linge-Mitter-Buchet).
Factory records do not reflect any other race entries. Porsche continued to own the car until it was sold in 1968 to Vasek Polak, a Los Angeles-based Porsche dealer active in racing.
According to Dieter Inzenhofer, mechanic for Vasek Polak and crew chief of the car in 1970-71, Polak bought just the chassis. Dieter then found suspension parts and an engine. In order to run in SCCA’s A-Production class, a 4-cylinder engine was put in the car. Dieter also claims to have changed the chassis plate to one with a "904" prefix (Dieter recalls 904 011) from "906" in order to avoid hassles with SCCA about whether the car had to run in the proto-type SCCA class.
Ordinary tube-frame 906’s had to run as proto-types because so few were made. 906-011 was just a late-run 904 chassis with a 6-cylinder engine. SCCA Career : 1969 - 1971 - 906-011 was sold to Mr. Brent Doell and Mr. Gerry Gregory. Each owned 50%, and Gregory drove the car under the "Doell-Gregory Racing" banner. Around July 1969, Gregory sold his share to Jim Cook, and Cook took over as driver. Initially, the car’s color scheme was silver with three relatively narrow red(?) racing stripes. However, after hitting a Corvette and catching fire at Sears Point (Sept. 1970?), the car was painted an unusual shade of yellow for a brief period.

In 1970, Jim Cook bought out Doell’s interest and continued to race the car. At this time, Cook had the car painted black with red stripes. Since the shop maintaining the car was doing a poor job, the car was not finishing races. Cook then arranged to have Vasek Polak’s shop maintain the car and sponsor it. And, the color scheme returned to silver (without any racing stripes). Dieter Inzenhofer, a mechanic for Polak, became the crew chief.

The car was campaigned successfully through 1971 in West Coast (SCCA, A-Production) races. A partial record of the car’s SCCA race history has been established primarily with the help of photos kept by Sandy Cook (Jim Cook’s widow). It follows : 1969 Doell-Gregory/Cook Sil/red stripes 2 - Riverside Doell-Gregory/Cook Sil/red stripes 2 - Feb70 Riverside Cook/Cook Blk/red stripes 2 - Aug70 Willow Springs Cook/Cook Blk/red stripes 2 - Sep70 Sears Pt Cook/Cook Silver - 1970 Laguna Seca Cook-VPolak/Cook Silver 12 - Aug71 Kent, WA Cook-VPolak/Cook Silver 2 1st AP - 1971 Vacaville, CA Cook-VPolak/Cook Silver 20 3rd AP - 1971 CSCC-SCCA /Cook 2nd AP - Nov 71 Road Atlanta Nat Cook-VPolak/Cook Silver 12. - 1972 : The car stopped being campaigned because it was no longer competitive and was moved to the showroom of Polak’s car dealership for several years. When it was sold and to whom, is unknown at this time. 1980 to 1985 - In 1980, Jamey Mazotta, a well-known west coast vintage racer, found the car through an ad. He bought it from a man in Washington State. It was fitted with a 4-cylinder, 4-cam engine and original wheels. Then, because his brother wanted to participate in vintage races with him, Jamey sold the car at his cost to Joey Mazotta of San Diego, California. After a brief period of racing, the car’s engine needed work and was sent to a shop for repair. When a year went by and the engine work was still incomplete, Joey was convinced to sell the car. Jamey arranged the sale to Jeff Lewis of Newport Beach, California in 1985.

1985 to 1999 - Lewis had the car meticulously restored to participate in vintage racing, including re-installing a correct 6-cylinder (901) engine. During this restoration, the incorrectness of the chassis plate surfaced. It did not jibe with the car’s "906" features: large air scoops behind the side windows, center of the hood fuel filler, center/interior rear-hood latch, short side doors, side windows that raise/lower, etc. After proper research confirmed the correctness of the 906-011 identification, a new chassis plate was attached. The car debuted at the 1987 Monterey Historics and subsequently ran in over 25 vintage events through 1999 with Lewis as driver. Kevin Ryan (Ryan Racing Restoration, Costa Mesa, CA) maintained the car during most of Lewis’s ownership. 1999 to Present - In November 1999, Dean Meiling purchased the car from Lewis through Dale Miller of Miller Historic Motor Cars. Ryan Racing Restoration (relocated to Plain City, OH in 2002) still services the car, which continues to be vintage raced.

In 2000, the engine was rebuilt and new CV joints were fitted to the rear half-shafts for safety. In 2001, the lower front edge of the car was re-done in its original shape (protruding lower lip) using moulds from the sister car (906-012; Porsche built 904 chassis in pairs). Also, new exhaust headers and megaphones were installed to enhance the car’s performance particularly at lower RPMs. As of 16 September 2002.

This, the second customer 904, was first delivered to Steve Earle, through Otto Zipper's Precision Motor Cars in Los Angeles. Now the organizer of the Monterey Historic Races, it does not appear that Mr. Earle raced the car.

From him, it passed to fellow Californian, Steve Berg. Mr. Berg, a racing benefactor of sorts, ostensibly acquired the car to be raced by young and talented aspiring California racers. At least in its early events, it appeared with Precision Motor Car colors. Under his ownership, it was raced extensively and likely was the car used to obtain the following results:

- April 26th, 1964, wore #32, Kurt Neumann, 8th OA - Riverside USRRC GT;
- May 3rd, 1964, wore #32, Kurt Neumann, 7th OA - Laguna Seca USRRC GT;
- June, 1964, wore #32, Kurt Neumann, 3rd OA - Willow Springs SCCA Divisional;
- September 19th, 1964, wore #37, Skip Scott, 2nd OA - Bridgehampton Double 500;
- October 10th, 1964, wore #32, Kurt Neumann ? - Riverside 3 Hour Enduro;
- May 2nd, 1965, wore #32, Kurt Neumann, DNF - Riverside USRRC GT;
- May 9th, 1965, wore # 32, Kurt Neumann, 5th OA - Laguna Seca USRRC GT;
- October 31st, 1965, wore #49, Denny Harrison, ? - LA Times GP at Riverside;

From Berg, the car then passed to Robert Redford, the actor. How he used the car is, unfortunately, not known.

Likely from Redford, 904-012 was then sold to Ray Stewart, then of Long Beach, California. Stewart had the car for sale in the late 1970's for $ 35,000.
Presumably from Stewart, Jim Tidwell of San Diego, California acquired 904-012 in 1979. He apparently owned the car until 1982, when it passed to Nelson Rath.

In 1989, 904-012 was acquired by a Belgian collector. At that time, it appears that the car did not have a motor and was missing various other parts. For him the car was restored in Belgium, where it was fitted with a 2.0 Liter 911 motor and was painted British Racing Green. With the registration CXX-689, it appeared at an International 356 Meet in the 1990's. It remains in Belgium as of the writing of this book.

1965 : 1000 Km Nürburgring - Peter Nöcker/Günther Klass 6 OA. 1965 : 24 Hours Le Mans - Günther Klass/Dieter Glemser DNF. 1966 : sold to Drolsom for 4000 $ without engine (see 904 013). 1967 : Sold to Covert USA. Destroyed in racing (Elkhart Lake) was send back to factory who replace the chassis. but now with 4 cams engine to Vern Covert. Driven back to California by road. Modified to T Top car with two removable panels and fitted with 906 engine turbo charged. 2001 : sold to Asia. Accident in Tour Auto 2002, repaired by S.H.K in Germany. Sold to England.

Shortly thereafter, 904-014 was sold to another brewing heir, Eddie Weschler of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but was not raced. A few months later, it was sold to Jacques Duval, the enthusiastic and talented Porsche privateer from Montreal Canada.

Mr. Duval, who worked as a radio personality, had raced Porsches in Quebec since 1960. Starting with a 356 roadster in 1960, he had obtained a Lightweight 356 Coupe for '61, '62 and '63, and a 1600 GTL Abarth Coupe (chassis # 1004) for 1964.

Acquired in the winter of 1965 for the sum of $7500, Duval drove 904-014 home from Milwaukee. To deal with snow, he mounted VW wheels with snow tires that he obtained along the way. Though remembered by many a racer for having a pretty girl by his side, his true talent (for a racer, anyway) was his ability to obtain sponsorship. During his ownership, the car was painted yellow to complement his Mr. Muffler (a Quebec exhaust repair chain) sponsorship, then blue (Porsche Club of Canada color) and, finally, red to go with his G. Lebeau (a body repair shop) logos.

In 1965, Duval and 904-014 won its class in the Quebec Championship. This series comprised 12 events held, predominantly, at Mt. Tremblant, a beautiful and challenging racetrack near Ste. Jovite, about 70 miles north of Montreal. The following details some of the results obtained by Duval during 1965 and 1966:

- May, 1965, 6th-Pepsi Cola Trophy (Tremblant);
- 1965, 13th-Mosport GP, #58;
- 1965, with Horst Kroll, 3rd-Sundown 4 Hr GP (Tremblant);
- 1966, with Horst Kroll, 2nd in class-Sebring 12 Hrs, #56;
- 1966, 2nd-Player's 200 (Tremblant);

Near the end of the 1966 season, 904-014 was sold to Victor Herman Haus, also from Montreal. At his first outing, the ACAM 6 Hrs, held at Tremblant on October 17, 1966, he rolled the car shortly after the start of the race.
From Mr. Haus, the car made its way to Rainer Brezinka and to Mr. Campbell of Vancouver.
Tony Campbell raced it in 1968 and 1969. In '69 racing season, Tony finished 3d in the Northern Pacific Division/SCCA point standings
It was then sold to Dick Barbour, the 935 racer and Porsche collector. And from him it passed to a Mr. Harming and then to Paul Harmatuk. Tony Singer & Jay Rosenfield from New York acquired 904-014 and had it restored.
From Singer, in 1975, the car passed to Tim Kuser of Bordentown, New Jersey

It came to the US for the 1964 12 Hours of Sebring and after was sold to Bruce Nole. From Nole, it passed to Charles Austin and after to Chuck Stoddard, who has owned the car for about thirty years. Mr. Stoddard, who raced an Alfa TZ1 at Sebring against 904s in 1964, went on to build one of the stalwarts of the Porsche restoration parts businesses, which was later sold to the Porsche factory.

904-019 remains as one of the most original, little-used 904s extant. It has lived out its casual retirement in Ohio next a 550 RS A, a long-tail 907 and a mighty 917.

Originally delivered to Ben Pon and his Dutch Racing Team. Ben Pon himself, has indicated that the car was used as follows:
- 1964, driven by Ben Pon, 8th OA - Spa 500 KM;
- 1964, driven by Rob Slotemaker, DNF (the car suffered a very bad crash and was essentially destroyed) - Nurburgring Sprint Race;
Subsequent to the crash at the Nurburgring, 904-023 was returned to the Factory and rebuilt. It then achieved the following results:
- 1965, driven by Rob Slotemaker, DNF - Spa 500 KM;
- June 5, 1965, ran at the Player's 200 at Mosport;
At some point the motors from 904-023 and 904-055, the other Dutch Racing team 904, were exchanged. Subsequent to the 1965 season, the car was freshened and sold.It was acquired in 1966 by Fraser Grant of Concord, California, directly from Ben Pon in 1970, he advertised the car for sale in "excellent condition", at the price of $ 6500.

From Grant, 904-023 was sold to Bill Jackson of Denver, Colorado. Mr. Jackson put together a serious Porsche collection in the 1970's and early 1980's, including a 1600 GTL Abarth and a couple of RSRs. Subsequent to his death, his collection was sold to a dealer in California named Mr. Milo. 904-023 was still for sale in mid 2002. It is currently painted orange, the Dutch Racing Team's color.2005 For Sale by Bernardi Germany ( this one claims that it was 055 who was crash in 1964, I propose to Bernarbi to justify his comments but he refuse !)

1976, Magazine of Bob Rassa : “This particular car has a very interesting history, having been sold to GM by the Porsche factory in July of 1964 for experimental evaluation. GM styling boss Bill Mitchell used the car as his personnal vehicle for a while, having had numerous “improvements” made such as restyled surrounds, engine grill, new seats, new safety glass windshield and backlight, and winshield garnish molding, among the most prominent. In 1968, the car passed to one or two private owners and finally came to rest at Stoddartd Imported Car showrooms in 1974. Bill Stee, an eye surgeon from Shreveport Louisiana, bought the car from Stoddard’s in October 1974 and immediatly began an “as new” restoration. Of course, all the GM improvements had to go, but this was the least of the problems. Rust had attacked the subframe in several places and Bill rebuilt the frame with a steel plate after which he rustproofed the entire frame The wiring harness, dashboard, seats and pedal assembly were completly replaced with parts either made or scavenged. Making new parts is just about as difficult as scavenging old ones. The blue velour seats were bought in England and were removed from a 904 which have been wrecked. Bill purchased a second 904 026 from an owner in Hawaï and this car supplied a new pedal assembly. Chuck Stoddard just happened to have a new beily pan and the new dashboard was fabricated by hand over a specialy made moid. New weather striping for the doors was also fabricated and that isn’t the easiest thing to do. Arrangements were made with a rubber manufacturer to have a special die made, and a thousand feet or so of rubber weatherstripping was extruded, matching the original.”

Through an intermediary, 904-024 has found its way to Pablo Picasso's son, Claude Ruiz-Picasso, in France. Mr. Ruiz-Picasso has had the car prepared for racing and has entered it in a number of European events. It was shown at Bagatelle in 2000 and ran in the Tour Auto in 2001. 904-024 now shares a garage with a 550, a 906 and a 910.

Originally delivered to Fritz Leineweber in Germany. This car has been recorded as having been raced by Michael Weber in hillclimbs. Sold to Jurgen Gauser.
The car was then sold to John Robbins of Omaha, Nebraska.
In 1973 sold by Cruz, it passed to Flavio Espino, a Venezuelan, who ran the car in Venezuela and in SCCA races in Florida, where it apparently suffered crash damage to its rear end. By this time it had been fitted with motor number 99 099.
In this condition, it was sold to Jim Way, who brought the car to his home in Hawaii. From Way, 904-026 was acquired by Bill Steen for parts to restore 904-024. It appears that, at least, the pedal assembly was removed for 904-024.
The car then resurfaced in the mid 1980's in the hands of Nick Soprano of Motor Classic Corp, of White Plains, New York. It was apparently complete and restored at that time. Soprano advertised the car for sale in 1986. Raymond Perroud of Genolier, Switzerland purchased 904-026 from Soprano in 1986. Mr. Perroud currently owns the car.

- May 31st, 1964, with Greger, was entered but did not start the Nurburgring 1000 KM;
- May 8th, 1965, 5th - Nurburgring GT 2.5 L race;

Eventually, it found its way to Japan and, is likely now, the 904 displayed at the Shikoku Museum.

By September of 1964, the factory was making the 904’s with a different "glass" for the body and had changed several of the body and mechanical components. This chassis had large oil lines and fittings. The original engine, transmission, dash components and other components were utilized in the rebuilding of the car and the original tail. This early tail section had the small air vents on the sides. Raced for part of 1965 by Mr. Schutz.

1966 Mr. Rudi Lins raced the car in hill climb events and other events. Mr. Lins was a Porsche Austria - 1967 Sold Mr. Frank Werner USA. The car was in perfect condition with silver color. The title transfer was in the name of Udo Schutz, not Mr. Lins. Werner raced at Elkhart Lake in Wisconsin in the "June Sprints" and other races the car was in his garage and in August of 1969, a young Mr. Rullman walking past sees the car and inquires if it is for sale. Not for sale, but Rullman says in effect ‘anything

Mr. Rullman purchased the engine from Mr. Payne and had it installed in #904036. He became disenchanted with the car and offered it for sale. During Mr. Rullman’s ownership, the car fell into some state of disrepair. The car was painted orange color and, did a horrible job. there was overspray everywhere !
The car with the spare engine was sold to Mr. Jerry Hudson of Wichita, Kansas in 1969. Mr. Hudson drove the car from the Chicago area to Wichita. The car was raced in the Kansas area until the second engine suffered a failed rod bearing. The original engine was never rebuilt and sat in storage.

Mr. Hudson decided to restore the car and so began disassembly of the chassis beginning with the rear. This never proceeded past the disassembly stage. Sold to Dr. Gary Quast of Omaha, Nebraska in 1973 in a disassembled condition. The only assembly done was to reassemble the rear suspension so that the car could be rolled onto a trailer. The two engines had been disassembled and were unsorted and contained in multiple boxes.

Dr. Quast placed the car in storage. Since Dr. Quast’s garage space at home was limited, he prevailed on his neighbor to store the 904 in the horse barn. It occupied a small corner and hay bales were placed around it to protect it.
Over the next few years, the parts that were missing or in need of replacement were purchased. Parts that were in need of restoration were completed and then placed in storage. Bodywork was done and the original engine was completely assembled with new parts and placed in the car. The engine work was done by Vern Covert and Kurt Kiebler. The car was partially assembled in 1978 and the engine was "run in" and tuned. This was done by Grady Clay in Denver. The assembly was not completed at that time and the car was placed back in a controlled environment for storage. Later, the Restoration by Paul Willison USA

The project was approximately 18 months and all work was done at the Willison Werkstatt. have a light blue with orange stripes characteristic of the Gulf cars of that era. These colors were discovered during the restoration process.
The car was sold in 1998 but never picked up by the new owner. A 6-cylinder engine and a fuel cell has been installed.

Owner : USA, Bobby Rahal

Sold to Michel, Sold to Osterfedt Germany - 1964 : 500 Km Spa, Gerhard Osterfeldt DNF. Sold to Schutz and sold again to Abels. 1965 : 1000 Km Nürburgring Manfred Abels/Günther Selbach 14 OA 2 cl.

The 904-037 was in 1965 bought from Germany by "Svenska BP", Swedish BP and they had Gunnar "Persbergarn" Carlsson to drive the car in Swedish events. 1966 Gustav Dieden bought the car from BP but without engine. Dieden put in different engines, a 911 engine and even a Carrera 6 engine was fitted in it at one time. From 1979 the car was owned by the Porsche dealer in Karlstad, Sweden, Lasse Jönsson and the car was racing last year at Nürburgring, Old Timer Grand Prix. It now has a four cylinder engine.

Still in the 1960's, 904-038 made its way to South Africa, the only 904 to have done so. There, it was acquired by David Cohen, a well-known diamond specialist and car collector, who has since moved on to Vancouver, where he keeps an immaculate '38 Alfa 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta, a 550 RS A, and various other exotica. He raced 904-038 in South Africa in the late 1960's and 1970's.

In a bizarre twist, the car was badly damaged by a firebomb while on display at a shopping mall in Johannesburg in the 1980's. In this burned condition, race-worn, and showing approximately 63000 km, the car was acquired by Dirk Layer of San Diego in 1987/8. He had it shipped to California. On seeing the car, and the extent of the damage, Layer chose to sell the car and, instead, restore 904-006.

From Layer, the car passed to Dr. Barney Gardner of Palo Alto, California in 1988. Thereafter, it became the subject of a lengthy and intensely accurate restoration by Cavaglieri Restorations of Sherman Oaks, California, the story of which was fully recounted in Excellence's February, 1995 issue. It won Best of show at the 1994 Hillsborough Concours, won the Honorary Judge's Choice Award at the 1995 Porsche Cub of America Annual Meet, and has run at the Monterey Historic Races.

More recently, it has been acquired by Ranson Webster of Reno, Nevada and joins one of the finest collections of Porsches in the world. Many of his Porsches, including 904-

It was acquired by Gene Dodd of Indianapolis, Indiana in the late 1960's. Dodd was an active and well-known PCA member in the 1960's. He would later race a 906 in SCCA events. During his ownership, 904-039 appeared on the cover of an early 1970's issue of Panorama. Dodd advertised the car for sale in 1971, asking $ 8000.

As a result of the ad, Dodd sold the car to David Redszus of Lake Forest, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. At one time, Mr. Redszus was a serious IMSA racer, having run at Sebring in the early 1980's. Though 904-039 is not currently fully assembled, it is still owned by David Redszus. Unfortunately, we were unable to obtain a photo of the car for the book.

Originally delivered to well-known Parisien privateer, Jean Kerguen.
Having raced, among others, a Zagato-bodied Aston Martin DB4GT, Mr. Kerguen was a seasoned and quite respectively fast gentleman racer. With 904-041, he obtained the following results:

- June 20th, 1964, wearing #32, with Jacques Dewez (using the pseudonym "Franc"), 12th - Le Mans 24 Hours;
- July 5th, 1964, with Dewez, 16th - Reims 12 Hours;
- September 20th, 1964, 6th - Coupe de Paris at Montlhery;
- October 11th, 1964, with Dewez, 9th - Paris 1000 KM at Montlhery;
- June 19th, 1965, wearing #38, with Dewez, DNF - Le Mans 24 Hours;

In 1966, 904-041 was sold to a gentleman by the name of Barret. From him, the car was sold in 1967 to a Mr. Petitjean, who used it in the following events:
- 1968, 3rd OA - Wissembourg Hillclimb;
- 1968, 1st OA - Abreschwiller Hillclimb;
- 1968, 2nd OA - Arry Hillclimb;
- 1968, 2nd OA - Ballon Alsace Hillclimb;
- 1968, dnf - Sewen Lac Alfeld Hillclimb;
- 1968, 3rd OA - Hautes Vosges Hillclimb;

904-041 was then sold to a Mr. Lutz. Interestingly, Mr. Petitjean told us that the dealer who sold his car, switched its paperwork with that of another 904.
In 1971 the registration “6775 AW 93” appeared in the TDF with Cachia. In 2003 Cacchia told me that he bought his car from Poirot (904 100) ? Later 904-041 was acquired by Klaus-Otto Raker. Raker, a Doctor from Lemgo, Germany, has been a very active historic racer and rally participant. His 550 Spyder and stainless-steel bodied 718 RSK, have been fixtures on the European historic scene. Unfortunately, 904-041 has been rarely seen during his ownership. He appears to retain 904-041 to this day.
More recently, 904-041 may have been sold to Friedrich Dauphin, to add to his growing collection of Alfa, Ferrari and Porsche racing cars. The 904 that he has acquired has been completely restored and has been entered in vintage races, driven on occasion by Walter Rohrl.
2003 Marcel Petitjean told me that the chassis plate between 904030 and 904041 had been changed and that the real 904030 is today 904041.

In 1967, 904-042 was acquired by Bruce Munch, a resident of Glendale, California. He may have acquired the car from a gentleman named Ronzle or vice versa.
From California, 904-042 moved north to Kalamazoo, Michigan, owned by Richard Radt. Mr. Radt advertised the car for sale in 1972, offering it for the then princely sum of $ 8200.

The next owner was Maitland Combs of Birmingham, Michigan. He acquired the car around 1973. In the 1980's, 904-042 found its way to Jeffrey Keiner in Florida.

A serious collector who has owned a 550, 906 and 910, Mr. Keiner raced the car in a number of vintage events and maintained it in a race-worthy condition. Under Keiner's ownership, 904-042 appeared at vintage races painted red with distinctively silver rocker and rear panels.

During Keiner's ownership it appeared in the April 1992 issue of Sports Car International. Track tested by Mark Gillies, he observed that, "All the major controls are light: the clutch and brakes need soft inputs, the steering is glorious, and if the gearchange is a bit rubbery, it's still light and swift - provided that you're firm and deft." It was sold to a Californian in 1992. Since, it has been shown at the 2001 Palos Verdes Concours in Los Angeles.

The Aldington family were the main agents for Frazer Nash and Porsche, and it was through them that he came to purchase the subject of this story; 904, chassis #45, on 6th March, 1964.
The introduction of the 904 was eagerly awaited by the UK Motoring public, Stoops' car being the first to arrive on British shores. It was delivered in "Irish green", the only 904 painted in this colour.
Stoop had ordered his car with a special set of ratios to suit the flowing Goodwood track. With delivery only days away, and the car due to be raced in a club meeting shortly after, it was found that the wrong ratios had been installed. Andre Loubser who was in charge of delivery to VIP's at the factory decided to make the trek down the Autobahn to Getrag in nearby Ludwigsberg to acquire the appropriate gear sets.

After pleading his case to the Managing Director, he was accompanied to the shop floor where a Lathe operator was summoned to make the appropriate parts for Stoops car. In less than three hours, according to Loubsers' own account in "911 and Porsche world", he was delivering the precious cargo back to Stuttgart.

"Two days later my boss, Erich Hirsch called me into his office and said: "Gott in Himmel, Herr Loubser, what have you done this time?" I was often in hot water for when logic dictated that problems had to be solved unconventionally that was more often than not the route I took.
Hirsch had heard about the gearbox saga, of course, and was most upset about what I'd done. First of all, there was a rigidly defined pecking order in German commerce. …and young employees simply didn't knock on the door of a Managing Director of a large organization such as Getrag. Second all deliveries from Getrag had to be booked into the stores (from where they would later be booked out again) and I had had the nerve to bypass the system.

I patiently explained that there was no time for the normal rules to be followed, and that if Stoops' car had not appeared at Goodwood, it would have caused Porsche no end of embarrassment. When I asked Hirsch what would have happened if I had not taken action, he replied, "You would also have been in trouble!"

Stoop campaigned his 904 enthusiastically: at the 1964 Grand Prix d'Europe meeting at Brands Hatch he followed home an Elan triumvirate of Peter Proctor, Sir John Whitmore and Jackie Oliver. At the August, 1964 Goodwood Tourist Trophy meeting, in the supporting race for two litre cars, Stoop took the lead early, but Mike Spence in the Chequered Flag Lotus Elan got by him on lap five, and stayed there to win, with Mike De Udy in another 904, third.

During the war Squadron leaders Tony Gaze and Richard Stoop would often be seen tearing around the perimeter track at Goodwood, during their off hours from Westhampnett Airbase; and it was indeed Gaze and Stoop post-war that had convinced the Earl of Richmond that Goodwood was most suited to regular motor racing events.

Stoops' moment of glory came at Snetterton during the prestigious 100-mile event, named for the famed "handicapped" Lister driver, Archie Scott Brown. Here Stoop claimed the two and a half litre lap record, won his class and kept Peter Clarke in a Ferrari GTO at bay, finishing a credible fifth outright.,Stoop also campaigned the car in Europe, notably in the European mountain Championship at Rossfeld in June, and Freiburg (where Edgar Barth had won in the 718.

Stoop was killed in his Jaguar road car, and from his estate, 904 number 45 passed to an extensive Porsche collection, in Pennsylvania, where it kept company with some of Stuttgarts' finest and most exotic offspring. Now, the 904 is now with its 3rd owner, here in Australia, the home of Stoops' mate Gaze and about five miles from where a young boy called Hawkins used to man the Petrol bowsers whilst dreaming of racing cars in Europe

- 1964, wore # 72, with Herbie Mueller, DNF - Targa Florio;
- 1964, with Antonio Pucci, 30th OA - Nurburgring 1000 KM;

In the 1960's, the car made its way to the US. By the late 1960's, it was owned by Edward J. Ver Schneider of Syracuse, New York. Whether he was the first American owner is not known. What we do know is that he had the car for sale for $ 6800 in 1970.

He sold the car to Dan Rowzie of Alexandria, Virginia, who used the car on the road. From Rowzie, 904-046 passed to Miles Collier in the 1980's. For a time, the car was shown in the Collier Museum in Naples, Florida, next to the ex-Briggs Cunningham 904-018. Unfortunately, the collection was closed to the public in the 1990's. But Mr. Collier continues to own the car.

Why Hall and Sharp bought the car has been subject to speculation. In Jim Pasha's December 1995 Porsche Panorama article, he states that:

"It is suspected that the car was purchased to satisfy the curiosity of a major car manufacturer Mr. Hall was doing engineering studies for. What he would have found was that the car had more frontal lift than desired and that the enclosed body had an excellent (for 1964) drag coefficient of about .32 in real-life."

From Hall and Sharp, 904-050 was sold to Burdette Martin, also in the US. Mr. Martin was ACCUS official representing the US to the FIA.

Its current owner, Leonard Turner, of Atlanta, Georgia, acquired 904-050 in 1968. Mr. Turner and his wife raced and showed the car for many years. By all accounts, it remains one of the most original and unmolested 904s extant. It has fewer than 20,000 miles, still runs on its original tires, and has never been repainted.

- November 29, 1964, wore #47, 10th - Nassau Tourist Trophy;
- December 4, 1964, wore #47, 13th - Nassau Governor's Trophy;
- December 6, 1964, wore #47, 33rd - Nassau Trophy;
- 1965 : 2000 km Daytona - David Lane/Robert Stoddard 16 OA.
- 1966, with Don/Sesslar, wore #47, DNF - Daytona 24 Hours;
From Lane, the car passed in 1969 to Pete McDowell of Charlotte, North Carolina.

As a result, the car was sold to a Swedish engineer named Sjumesson. He only used the car on the street, advertising it for sale in 1970.

Its current and only second owner, Jim Perrin of Columbus, Ohio, acquired 904-053 through a broker in 1970. Another timepiece, this 904 survives in completely original condition. It has never been repainted or damaged in any way. Jim has been an active PCA member and brings the car out on occasion.

Originally owned by Ben Pon. It was delivered in a bright shade of orange and with black vinyl seats.

As recounted by Jim Pasha in the December 1995 issue of Porsche Panorama, Pon had said about his participation in the European Championship that: "My own goal was to finish as high in the standings as possible in the 904. I knew the car was not as fast as the Cobras, Ferrari GTOs and the then-new Ford GT40, but I also knew the 904 would outlast many of them." Subsequent to the 1965 season, 904-055 was traded towards a new 906. The Factory refurbished the motor and transmission, and, though it had not been seriously damaged, it was repainted silver. Sold to Warren Eads. 2002 : solf to Schwartz.

Following its racing career, 904-057 was imported into the US by Jonathan Wort of Lebanon, New Jersey. The car was fully restored in the Midwest and remains in the US to this day.

2003 : MaiI from previous owner : I spent some time digging out photos of 904-057 for you. The attached (mail came back, Yahoo said "file too big", sending seperately) photos were taken in 1982 when I was offering it for sale at my dealership for $48,500. I do remember it having the original motor for it's chassis at that time having been rebuilt by Wellington in the late '70s. It was a "real" car, not a rebodied, built up thing, only missing it's dash pad, original wheels and airbox at the time. It also had Sebring exhaust that went with it. I'd appreciate it if you'd share whatever history you know of her, as I became quite fond of it during it's tenure with me over about 1 1/2 years. The car came from a former US Navy fighter pilot who brought it to America from Europe and I sold it on to another American ~ circa early 1983 when we were experiencing quite an economic slump over here.

In 1980, it was acquired by Mr. Touroul, a Parisien who had run a 910 at Le Mans in the 1970's. In 1988, 904-061 had only 13000 kms and still sported its original Signal Red paint. It was also found to be equipped with a cream leather interior with special carpets and a street exhaust.

By the late-1990's, 904-061 had been acquired by Porsche collector, Alain Salat. In 2000, 904-061 was been restored by a shop in Paris. At that time, the original paint was abandoned for the more common silver exterior and black interior combination.

2002 : sold to Germany.

In the 1990's 904-063 was acquired by Martin Schroeder of Duingen, Germany. At the time, 904-063 had barely more than 1000 miles on the clock and, other than its Monterey Historic Race experience, has never seen any serious track usage. It was totally original, at least as it left the Porsche Factory for the second time.

904-063 was then acquired by Sam Yagi of Japan. Since the late 1990's, his small collection had been for sale through a number of different brokers in Europe and Japan. Priced at $ 500,000 US, 904-063, with its 1600 miles or so, sat virtually untouched in its Japanese garage.
In 2002 904-063 was finally sold to Bill Stephens, who lives in England. This car is a fascinating timepiece and deserves a good home. It also would offer an interesting contrast to some of the gleaming better-than-new cars that we now see, particularly in European Historic racing.
