Tag Archives: Porsche 904 GTS

Behold: the 1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS – the company’s last true dual purpose road’race car, introduced the same year as the also legendary 911.

Combining a lightweight fibreglass shell with the ultimate iteration of the 180bhp four-cam, four-cylinder Type 587/3 engine, the 904 was quite the track monster in its day (and for several more days after that).

This car, originally silver when it was sold to Italian industrialist and driver Ernesto Prinoth, made its way to the US where it received a ‘California restoration’ (ie. a slightly more comfortable interior and a red paint job).

Currently accepting bids. NB: Robert Redford’s green 904 GTS was on the market for over €1.2 million in 2018.

Behold: Robert Redford’s old1964 Porsche 904 GTS.

The actor drove the car for ten years before passing it on to a new owner who replaced the engine with a 2 litre 911 flat six (an upgrade carried out on the last 904’s by Porsche itself). Currently up for auction, fully documented with its original bodywork, chassis and trans axle.

Yours for €1.23 million.
