Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Probably the 1971 Sebring winning car driven by Vic Elford and Gerard Larrousse. In clean as raced condition with its Sebring winning Martini graphics and a fresh 5 liter 917 engine. Said to have had its chassis plate swapped with a Le Mans winning 917, and then swapped back at some point in its history.

Market commentary

Whether this 917 won Le Mans or Sebring, it would make a great centerpiece for a collection of racing Porsches. The 917 experts in the crowd thought that $1 million for this car was cheap, and the low price was a direct result of the questions about its history.
