Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Fire system, steel wheels, vinyl upholstery.

Condition

Thoroughly restored to race-ready condition without going overboard. Decent cosmetics, especially for a fiberglass bodied race car. Raced in Germany with modest success especially in hillclimbs driven by Helmut Leuze when new, eventually sold to Vasek Polak in disassembled condition before being restored by Freisinger Motorsports in the early 1990s and apparently little used since. Not 'race-ready' but close and nearly all original as delivered by Porsche.

Market commentary

A million dollars buys some pretty interesting and exciting cars, but rarely one so fast, quick, charismatic and adaptable as this Porsche 906. Let's assume that $1.2 million would buy it (and it's hard to see why at the quoted estimate it couldn't have gone to a new home at the reported high bid) the new owner would have a rare, sexy, fast, limited production Porsche that could probably get a set of road plates in a liberal jurisdiction and be a thoroughly enjoyable car for high speed tours (Colorado Grand, anyone?) or on track. This is a lot of performance for the money.
