Porsche 904 Carrera GTS

Chassis no. 904-062 was finished on 25 March 1964 and delivered new to Pierre Jaillardon in Marseille, who competed in a hill climb at Lodève just over a month later. Later it was sold to Mr René Maucort, who would become the principle competitor with 062, successfully competing in rallies and hill climbs throughout 1965 and ’66. A frontal accident towards the end of 1966 caused the 904 to be sold to Jose Piger; reportedly, he received the car without an engine or gearbox. From Piger it passed through Freisinger and a third party to Heinz Kurek; Kurek proceeded to completely rebuild 062 from 1975 to ’79, supposedly using this 904 as a reference for his other 904 builds. From him it passed via Bruce Canepa to Kerry Morse before being sold in 1989 back to France with Thierry Reynaud. Reynaud carried out restorative work on 062 before selling it to Monsieur Petitjean in 1993. Given the history of 062 being heavily rebuilt, we would recommend a close inspection of the car and its history file.
Currently fitted with a six-cylinder engine, this 904 would be highly eligible for many of the top historic racing events after appropriate preparation.
