The 916 is the rarest production Porsche ever made, and this one the prototype of the prototype, fitted with a 2.9 RS engine, and personally owned by a member of the Porsche family. What else could make it more valuable?

Wonder how the yellow 916 is doing these days, it was owned by one of the Porsche gals as well. My old friend Otis Chandler acquired it in the early 1980s from the Porsche Family, he sold it to a collector about 10 years later. It went to a private Porsche museum in Japan. These cars didn't trade for much coin back then; it's all about the 6 and 7 figures today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

It's alive and well, Marty, and featured in the new version of the book, Carrera RS. Restored but for the original brown paisley, as it isn't available. Owner has a house in Europe and the U.S. and is definitely one of us...forgot which house he keeps it at.

Good to hear that it's in good hands Pete, our cars don't seem to get into the hands of Flippers often. Good caregivers of the 914 are good people (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
