Porsche 901 5-speed Transmission (Lot 43)

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

From the estate of Porsche Master Mechanic David Glenn—director of RUF’s famed Yellowbird engine program and longtime Porsche Motorsport North America specialist—comes an exceptional offering of over 70 no-reserve auction lots. The collection spans Porsche road and race cars, 911 project cars, engines, gearboxes, tools, parts, workshop equipment, and memorabilia, along with select personal vehicles.     Glenn’s five-decade career defined excellence in Porsche engine building, from Kremer Racing to RUF Automobile and Porsche Motorsport, where his precision and passion earned global respect. His meticulously maintained workshop reflects that legacy—filled with authentic engines, precision tools and equipment, reference materials and carefully preserved parts.     On-site lot viewings are available by appointment at Hagerty Garage + Social Savannah, 1446 Dean Forest Rd., Savannah, GA 31405.   * * * 

Offered from the estate of Porsche Master Mechanic David Glenn, this Porsche 901/911 5-speed manual transmission (No. 7119902) dates to the 1971 model year and is believed to have originally equipped a Porsche 911T, 911E, or 911S. 

The gearbox presents as clean and complete, consistent with Glenn’s restoration work, though no documentation accompanies the unit. As one of the last “dogleg” 5-speeds before the introduction of the 915, it features the lighter magnesium case and revised internal ratios that distinguish the final evolution of the 901 design. 

While its internal condition and performance have not been verified, the transmission appears to have been carefully prepared for installation or display.

Inspection encouraged via the detailed photo gallery or in person at Hagerty Garage + Social Savannah.
