The second to last 904 GTS produced, it was first used as a promotional vehicle by Porsche of Hekla, Iceland for cold-weather testing and promotional purposes. It was later sold to its first private owner, Dr. Carl Armstrong of Toledo, Ohio. Dr. Armstrong raced the 904 GTS in a variety of Midwest SCCA events. Later early ownerships included several well-known early USA collector owners.
This 904 GTS was then sold to a German collector and crossed the pond to the European continent. Soon thereafter, this 904 was sold to its next ownership in the United Kingdom prior to returning to the USA in 2016. All history is extremely well documented.
