1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS Navigation
Considered by some to be one of the most beautifully designed raced cars of all-time, the 904 GTS was one of two Porsches designed by Ferdinand Alexander 'Butzi' Porsche during his tenure as head of Porsche's styling studio (the other being the iconic 901/911). Developed simultaneously with the 901/911, the car went from concept to completion in just six months and arrived in-time for the 1964 racing season.
The basis of the design was a pressed steel chassis onto which a lightweight fiberglass body was affixed. Mounted amid-ship, in this example is an Ernst Fuhrmann-designed 200 horsepower 4-cam twin-spark-plug air-cooled 4-cylinder Carrera engine coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox. In order to meet Group 3 homologation racing requirements, a minimum of 100 were required to be produced.
Porsche 904-109 was built as a spare chassis along with two others in 1964/65 and purchased by southern California Porsche dealer Vasek Polak. Chassis 109 was then assembled with a proper 587/3 engine so as to qualify for SCCA races. 904-109 then passed through a succession of owners. One of them had the car reconditioned and installed a 911 racing engine. The car was vintage raced in that configuration. The current owner purchased the car and commissioned a total restoration to include the installation of a proper 587/3 engine.
