The Porsche 904 Carrera GTS stands as a testament to Porsche's unwavering commitment to motorsport excellence in the mid-1960s. Born from Ferdinand Porsche's desire for a dual-purpose car that could dominate on the track and still be road-legal, the 904 was a radical departure for the marque, featuring a lightweight fiberglass body bonded to a steel box-section chassis. Unveiled in 1963, it was designed to meet FIA GT homologation requirements, with just 106 examples built. Its iconic design, penned by Butzi Porsche, quickly became synonymous with speed and agility, securing class victories at the Targa Florio, Sebring, and the Monte Carlo Rally, cementing its legendary status as one of Porsche's most beautiful and successful racing coupes. This particular 1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS is an exceptional example, retaining its original, matching-numbers engine and gearbox, a crucial detail for any serious collector. Its provenance is further elevated by an extensive period competition history, including appearances at the demanding Tour de France, the 12 Hours of Reims, and the legendary hill climb at Mont Ventoux. This car is also one of a mere ten Porsche 904s upgraded to the desirable Series 2 specification in period, showcasing its continuous evolution for competitive advantage. Accompanied by its FIA papers, this 904 represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Porsche's golden age of motorsport, a true artifact of racing history.
