Equipment
Avon Racing tires, 500hp 2.1-liter turbo engine, roll cage, cross-drilled rotors.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Second overall at Le Mans in 1974 (Muller, van Lennep) behind a Matra. Then finished second at Watkins Glen, fifth at Brands Hatch with the same drivers and a DNF at Daytona (Ongais, Follmer, Field). Lots of chips in the paint. Scrape in the left rear. Crack in the body below the driver's door. Worn steering wheel and lightly faded gauges. One of four of these 2.1 Turbos, which were the first of the turbocharged racing 911s. One of the ultimate '70s competition cars, for the most part sitting just as it raced.
Market commentary
A history of just a few, informed, caring owners has left this 911 in largely as-raced condition and exposed it to little more than demonstration runs since 1977. Its importance to Porsche's racing lineage is basic. And all those factors make its determination of value very difficult, which is apparent in its non-result here. The difference between bidder and seller cannot be large, however.
