1969 Porsche 917 K Long Tail coupé

Chassis 009 was first raced by Porsche in the name of Baron Karl von Wendt at the Zeltweg 1000 m in August 1969. Driven to victory by Jo Siffert and Kurt Ahrens, 009 became the first 917 to win a race. Before the 1970 season, 009 was re-bodied to 'K' configuration and assigned to the John Wyer Automotive (JWA)/Gulf team. After qualifying second at Sebring driven by Siffert/Redman, the car failed to finish. The same duo qualified on pole for the Monza 1000 km but damage from a spin early in the race resulted in a 12th place finish. In 1971, it was raced at Sebring by Rodriguez/Oliver, who qualified third. Rodriguez and Donohue's Ferrari 512M collided and the 917 was damaged, but still managed to finish fourth. Chassis 009 was purchased from Porsche by Vasek Polak in 1972 and the body, chassis, and certain running gear were acquired by David Aase in 1979. He owned the car for approximately three decades before Freisiner Motorsport bought it and completed the restoration for its current owner in 2012. The owner has raced the car at Rennsport Reunion V in 2015. The engine is currently being rebuilt by Porsche Motorsports North America.
