#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Finished third overall in its first race for Porsche at the Spa 1000km in 1968 driven by Han Herrmann and Rolf Stommelen. Dnf at Watkins Glen driven by George Follmer and Joe Buzzetta, then disqualified in the Zeltweg 500km race. Damaged by the next owner, cannibalized, later repaired frame and body were sold to and restored by Dale Miller. Freshly rebuilt engine with dyno time only. Neat, orderly competition restoration with very good cosmetics.
Market commentary
Like Jerry Seinfeld's RSK, resurrection from nearly nothing weighs heavily on the collector value even of a competition car, which is expected to endure some vicissitudes, but maybe not quite being parted out to a (repaired) frame and body. Even taking that into account, though, at anything close to the reported high bid this 908 would be a wildly fun car at a reasonable price for historic racing.
