1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS for sale!
Location: Miami, USA
Extensive period racing history including entries to the 12h Sebring and 24h Daytona
In 1964, Dr. David C. Lane, a US racing driver who was well known to have driven a host of cars including a 250 GT SWB (#1539), 718 RS , 356B and more often his red 904, took delivery of chassis 051 directly from Brumos, Porsche. Shortly after delivery he would first campaign the car in an SCCA regional Osceola race finishing 3rd overall. It was later in the year, that he transported the Porsche to the 11th Annual International Bahamas Speed Week. In the Nassua Trophy he was able to secure 10th overall against some much faster machines, but in the Preliminary race, he had achieved 3rd, and exceptional result. Next was the Governors Trophy where for example 59 cars started, including big GT cars such as 250 GTO’s, 250 TR’s, Shelby Cobra’s, and some incredibly quick sport GT cars, Lane scored a great result of 13th overall, another fabulous result for his class. In the Nassua Porsche race, a podium 3rd was achieved. In his final race, he slipped down the grid to 33rd overall but brought the car safely home. In February of 1965, Lane also took the car to Daytona and a few weeks later, in March, to Sebring achieving good results. I think the car DNF’ed both races with mechanical failures?
