Product information "CMC M-230 1/18 Porsche 904 #86 Carrera GTS Targa Florio 1964 Pucci/Davis"

Introduced in late 1963 for the 1964 racing season, the first nine 904s were “works“ cars, and 904-005 was one of them. Designed by “Butzi“, grandson of Ferdinand Prosche, the 904 had a complete all-fibreglass body and was capable of running 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder engines. As a 4-cylinder car, 904-005 was powered by the legendary Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann’s Type 587/3 engine, producing 180 hp at 7000 rpm. Although known as “the most complex four-cylinder“ to build and assemble, this engine was used in 34 models, including the contemporaneous 356 and 904/Carrera GTS.

904-005 has the most extensive racing history of any Porsche in private ownership today. 904-005 was entered in all of the important races by the Porsche factory from 1964 through1966. Its most notable victory was the 1964 Targa Florio, where it took an astounding first overall, driven by Antonio Pucci and Colin Davis against many much more powerful cars.

904s showed remarkable durability. At the 1964 Nürburgring and Le Mans, all five 904 starters finnished and placed among the top 12 overalls. In the same year, 904s racked up class wins at Le Mans, Spa, Sebring, Watkins Glen, Zandvoort, Canada, and the Paris 1000 Km in addition to SCCA’s C-Production and E-Sports Racing titles. The winning streak continued at rally events, including the Tulip, Munich-Vienna-Budapest, and Geneva, etc.

904-005 ran all of the Manufacturers Championship races in the years 1964 through 1966. It achieved many high overall placing, including class wins at Sebring in 1965, Spa in 1965, and Daytona in 1966, where it won its class and finished seventh overall, driven by Joe Buzzetta and Hebert Mitter. The car was also the European Hillclimb Champion, winning every hillclimb it entered.

The 904 was a street-legal race car that owners with hardened nerves could drive to their racecourse of choice or to an antisocial night on the town. It was arguably the last real racing car built by Porsche and a stunning competitor that enabled brave owners to realize their dream of experiencing the undiluted thrills of a racetrack winner.

Das Buch zum Porsche 904, Delius Klasing Verlag

The Silver Arrows from Mercedes-Benz remain the classic icons of the 1930s that command high respect. This is not only true of such racing cars as the W25, W125, W154 and W165, but also of their drivers like Manfred von Brauchitsch, Rudolf Caracciola and Hermann Lang, who were considered top-notch pilots of the time. Not quite as prominent and yet always influential on the public image of the Silver Arrows, however, were their carriers. The blue trucks with the lettering “Mercedes-Benz Rennabteilung (Racing Department)” were always a symbol of the will and determination to take on even the hardest competition. Access to its officially replicated Type LO 2750 was kindly provided by Mercedes-Benz for the development of our miniature. Equipped with a 65 hp diesel engine, the Mercedes-Benz racing car transporters contributed to the huge success of the Silver Arrows in the 1930s. They were responsible for bringing the cars to the GP race tracks in time, maintaining the supply chain from the factory, and even serving as garages for repair work. Now and then they were used for presentation purposes. After a huge win, they trucked a victorious Silver Arrow under a furled tarpaulin cover to the enthusiastic audience. For a major race, a whole fleet of transporters was in use. But unfortunately, not a single one of the original transporters survived -- all the more reason for us to bring it back as a high-end replica.

904-006 is a rare factory-raced example of the 904 Carrera GTS, the company’s landmark machine built to race at the highest levels in the 1964 season. 1964 was a watershed year for Porsche, marked by the presentation of the 911 as its new production car and of the 904 to usher in a new era of design and engineering for sportscars. Both cars were designed by “Butzi“, the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, and each was a masterpiece. Porsche had been experimenting with fiberglass as early as 1954, and the 904 Carrera GTS was its first model to adopt the new technology. Construction of fiberglass over a steel ladder chassis allowed for a very lightweight package, and the 904 fiberglass body was accompanied by stellar aerodynamics, too, featuring a small frontal area. Nine of the first 10 Porsche 904s built were kept for works race team use, including the 904-006. Chassis 006 was first put into service during April 1964 as one of four entries by Porsche in the Targa Florio. It placed 2nd overall, driven by Antonio Pucci and Colin Davis. In its second outing for Porsche, 904-006 was driven by Herbert Linge and Gerhard Mitter at the 1,000 Km Nürburgring. Against diverse international competition, the pair finished 12th overall. Next came the 24 hours of Le Mans, where 904-006 was driven to 10th overall and 3rd in Class by the duo of Gerhard Koch and Heinz Schiller. After finishing 4th overall and 2nd in Class at the Tour de France, 904-006 raced in its final event as a factory entrant at the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally, driven by Eugen Böhringer and Rolf Wütherich. They clinched a class win and 2nd place overall in a rally that saw only 22 finishers in the points out of 237 starters. Porsche sold 904-006 to a German company in 1966. Then the trail went cold until Leonard Renick, a Cadillac dealer in California, purchased the car from a usedd car lot. Now missing an engine, 904-006 went through the hands of two more owners and then was sold to Gerard Layer, who sourced an appropriate type 587/3 engine and transaxle and had the car restored. He eventually sold it to Michael Shoen in January 1997. In January 1998, Scott Gautherier, a Scottsdale-based collector and jeweler, purchased 904-006, and the car became the cornerstone of a significant collection of sports racing cars. Joining the collection of Stanley Gold in 2000, 904-006 was put back to its natural role as a competition machine. Mr. Gold had the car prepared for track use and, over the course of his 14-year ownership, this Porsche was entered in no fewer than 27 vintage racing events, including three Tour Auto appearances, six trips to the Le Mans Classic, and four entries at the Monterey Historics.
