908 Syder Chassis No. 908.016 of 1968
The 908's initally used short-tail and long-tail coupe bodies similar to those of the 907's, with engines that were basically two-liter sixes with two more cylinders and a bigger bore. Then came the various Spyders, including the 'Coke bottle,' the colorfully nicknamed 'Flounder,' the long-tail LeMans Spyder, and that nimble racer, the 908/03.All the 908 did was win Porsche's first World Championship in 1969 with five victories in a row. From 1968 through 1971, 908's won II world championship races and one Can-Am race.
This chassis is one of the first series and originally was a long-tail coupe. It ran at LeMans with Siffert and Herrmann driving in 1968. The factory rebodied it as a Spyder and it raced in that configuration several times, at least once with Larrouse Driving. This car is painted as Tony Dean's winning 908 in the Can-Am race at Road Atlanta in 1970. The only 3.0 liter car ever to win a Can-Am race against the big blocks.
