Equipment
RHD. 2,196/278hp, flat-eight, 5-speed, Dunlop Racing tires, "kurzheck" (short tail) body.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Winner of the hard-fought 1968 Targa Florio with Vic Elford at the wheel, and that's most of what matters here. Condition-wise, it has dings in the headlight covers, chips in the paint and aged wheels and tires, but it's a piece of Porsche and motorsports history. Not bad to look at, either.
Market commentary
8-cylinder Porsche 907s are exceedingly rare and the only one seen at auction before this was at Gooding Pebble Beach in 2014 with 907005, the langheck 1968 Daytona 24 Hours winner that sold for $3,630,000. Many would consider Vic Elford's come from 18 minutes behind victory in 907025 to be one of racing's greatest recoveries. Had this car sold it would have been, all-in, barely $800,000 more than 907005 nine years ago. Both wonderful flat-8 Porsches and both comparably valued.
