Equipment
The first of two built by Reinhold Joest, raced in Europe by Joest driven by Jochen Maas with three podium finishes in the first three races. Then sold to Dr. Gianpiero Moretti and raced in IMSA with Mauro Baldi, Bob Wollek, Al Holbert, Sarel van der Merwe and Bobby Rahal. Restored some time ago and kept in nearly new condition although there is no record of any historic racing appearances and it probably needs a thorough inspection and safety check before realized even a little of its enormous performance potential.
Market commentary
This Porsche well be a welcome entrant in a desirable up and coming special interest race car class in vintage with the added benefit of having a laundry list of recognizable drivers whos sat behind its wheel. It was bought here in 2005 for $412,500 but is better remembered as the twenty minute car after sitting on the block late on Saturday night for a nearly intermible time and driving many onlookers into an uncaring torpor. It was in essentially the same condition today, just older, but fortutely moved more quickly on the block and even brought a better price. Maybe its new owner will race it now, too.
