Among all the victorious racecars Porsche has produced over the years, it’d be easy to forget the 904 – like the one pictured here that’s soon to cross the auction block.
The first Porsche to feature a ladder chassis and fiberglass bodywork, the 904 proved a force to be reckoned with right out the box. In its first year alone, it claimed victory in the Targa Florio and at Reims, took class wins at Spa and Sebring, and scored half of the top ten GT class finishes at Le Mans.
This particular 1964 example is the 98th of 106 examples made over the course of two years. It was delivered new to the famous Brumos Porsche dealership in Florida before being sold to a European collector. In highly original condition with its factory engine, body, and interior, it’s set to headline Bonhams‘ auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, on January 19.
There it will be joined by, among others, a silver over black 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB with the desirable long nose and torque tube. This example won its class at the Cavallino Classic, comes certified by Ferrari Classiche, and is being offered without reserve.
