72' Porsche 916, sn 914.233.0018

OK, so this is NOT one of the 3,300+ factory built 914-6 cars, but rather, one of the very few and rare 916 prototypes built by the Porsche factory in 1972. This 916 is currently offered for sale on eBay and you can take a look for yourself at the latest bid. Take a look! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&item=280018912321&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Here is how the seller describes this particular 916: This is a real 1972 Porsche 916. Duncan Blue with original Chamois leather interior. The 10th of the 11 hand-built factory prototypes. The owner of a Porsche 916 can be assured of having one of the most exclusive Porsches in the world. The first 5 were for members of the Porsche family, 4 are though to have been destroyed and this car is 1 of 7 remaining. The 2.7 RS spec engine was the most powerful available from Porsche at the time.

UPDATE (Aug-24-06 at 17:08:24 PDT): Seller added the following information:

Clarifications and new information from past owners and others familiar with this car 1) Engine is still in its original configuration. 2 years ago it was complete disassembled, inspected and resealed and has not been modified. 2) Regarding the color, the second owner who also owned 916 #0019 and sold it for to buy 916 #0018. He recounted that the 1st owner had the color changed to the present color very early on by Porsche as he did not like the dark blue colour. 3) Correct interior color name is 'Cork'.

Q: Is this andrew Anderson's car? If so what kind of Authenticity do you guarantee??? Aug-25-06 A: You are correct that at one time he was listed as the owner on title. What sort of authentication, guarantee or inspection process would make you feel most comfortable? Prior to accepting the car into our facility we performed a thorough inspection as well as a exhaustive background on the lineage. That being said we are comfortable with this being a real 916

Q: Hello and Greetings from Canada! My Father and I are interested in this vehicle, but after reviewing the pictures, are curious as to the Black hand lever ahead of the shift boot. If this vehicle was equipped by Porsche with a Carrera RS 2.7 MFI engine, such a manual throttle control, suited to carbureted cars, would not be necessary. Does this lever do anything? Also, would you be able to put the vehicle on a lift and provide pictures of the undercarriage? I find it interesting that the Speedometer is calibrated for Kilometers, that would mean the vehicle has only 32000KMS which is 20000 miles. How is it that the dash might have been recovered in a car that has only 20000 miles on it. Thanks in advance of your reply. Best Regards, Kris. Aug-23-06 A: Kris 1) The black knob is a hand throttle and yes MFI cars had a hand throttle as well. 2) picts of the undercarriage will bve uploaded tonight. 3) the dash being recovered would have no correlation to the miles driven as car components age, though it different rates depending on whether they are driven, properly stored or parked

Q: Curious why there are no photos of the interior, engine or underneath the car. For this type of car, and especially for this kind of money, it needs to be documented. Also what kind of paper history comes with the car? Aug-22-06 A: Joe we will post more detailed photos by tomorrow. In addtion to those who have already inspected the car we welcome inspections by other serious buyers who are contemplating bidding as well As far as paper history there is a binder we are putting together on it.

Q: Your car is a fake. Just thought you might like to know. Aug-21-06 A: Are making a serious allegation or are you merely attempting to poison the well. If you can provide concrete proof/documentation I, as well all the Ebay bidders, would be most interested. It is interesting that we had a gentleman come in to inspect the car who first saw it at the factory werks being serviced in early 70's and he quite clearly remembers this car, particularly the unique interior colour.

Q: Hello, I definitely will not buy this car, I'll just let you know that there are failures in your description: we know the existance of 10 remaining cars! The paint is NOT original - the car left factory with a different colour!! Regards, Wolfgang Aug-17-06 A: Wolfgang thank you, i was hoping to flush out some new information on the other 10. perhaps you can help me with what happened to 0016 and 0015. If you know how i could get in touch with Wolf he used to own 0195. He used to live in San Francisco. As far as the color it is the original color as we have performed asn extensive inspection of the vehicle, perhaps i am using the incorrect color name for the blue. cheers, Walter

Q: My name is Chris Constantin, I am with a company called Premier Financial Services. I know of a guy that would not know this car is on ebay but might possibly be interested in it. He is an avid collector. What kind of money are you truly looking for on this car? I will pass the car on to him,he will want to know approx what he would have to spend. This is a truly special car, but I am also pretty sure that the 916 had a 2.4L engine w/Bosch Motronic mechanical fuel injection. You have it listed with a 2.7RS motor, just wanted to check before I email my client. Nothing in it for me, he just loves special Porsches. Aug-16-06 A: Chris Excellent question, the last few 916s had 2.7 MFI engines and some of the earlier ones we refitted by the factory with them as well. As far a number that it will sell for, i would like to think that it will be north of what properlty restored 73 RS lightweights are selling for. let me know if i can be of further assistance
