About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as the numbers-matching engine, transmission and body panels. Excellent paint, chrome and lightly worn interior despite being restored in the 1990's. The engine compartment and underbody are like new. Done to high standards without going too far and magnificently preserved since restoration.

Market commentary

4-cam Porsche Carreras were usually raced through at least one and sometimes several engines and the survival of one like this with its original engine, gearbox and body panels is nearly miraculous. It could have brought the low estimate on the hammer without being expensive, even with the now two decades old restoration, and in this transaction is a rare value for the new owner.
