1964 Porsche 904 GTS Racer is Up For Sale
For the enthusiast who has everything, there is the elusive Porsche 904 GTS.
Paying your dues
The 904 is a benchmark in the history of Porsche and really set the stage for a whole generation of racing vehicles. Under the rear hatch is a Carrera four-cam unit that produced a reliable 180 horsepower. The car was raced back in its day, including an appearance at the 1964 Spa 500 KM, finishing 4th in class.
Built to win
The car was overweight but benefitted from a mid-engine placement to keep things nimble on the track. The 904 had a fiberglass body bonded to a sheet steel double box chassis. According to the car's designer "Butzi," the 904 had a lot of untapped potential. However, the 911 launched in 1964 with a new six-cylinder engine and a modified MacPherson Strut front suspension made the 904 outmoded.
