Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Factory team raced at the Spa 1000km in 1968 driven by Vic Elford and Jochen Neerpasch where Neerpasch crashed in a downpour ending 010's racing career. The chassis and body, still race-damaged, were eventually sold and restored by John Corson with a 908 engine acquired from the Vasek Polak estate and a 908 5-speed transaxle. Displayed and vintage raced since. Good paint and gaudy interior. Said to have a fresh Porsche-built 908 engine but it was hiding under the bodywork, no peeking allowed.
Market commentary
It is a tribute to the reputation and value of the 908 that this car survived at all, let alone in good historic race-ready condition. Its rather a bitsa, though, remade from a car hit hard enough for Porsche to give up on it, and the $2 million bid for it is reasonable.
