I think these have a bottom end that is virtually the same as the air cooled 911, so no ISB "story"

Does this car have anything in common with production 3.2 911's ?

An improved chassis with better fuel efficiency from a Bosch Motronic electric system was developed for 1984, being termed the 956B.

I don't buy cars without a Carfax so I won't touch it.

I'm going to have to pass on this one. The tobacco livery is a deal breaker, but even worse, I didn't see a cup holder anywhere at all in the interior.....

Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Vern Schuppan about this car a couple of years ago.

Oh WOW!!!! Love to see cars like this brought to public auction A lot of times, it seems they change hands quietly with no fan fare. This one deserves a bit of a show. Be interesting to see what it goes for (with estimates of 7 to 8 mil).

Interior looks a little cramped. I'll pass.

I don't recall ever seeing a Porsche race car fetch that kind of money. But I also don't recall ever seeing a LeMans winning Porsche race car come up for auction.

One of the greats and I wouldn't be surprised if the Factory buys it.

Imagine what it would be worth in about 20 years. $$$$$$

I'm skeptical of how the handling would be compared to my 924S...
