Did a quick search but did not see this article posted here. I apologize if I missed it.

The only Porsche on the list of the top 12 rarest cars in the world and #5 on the list at $3M.

I haven't seen it. Thanks for sharing. I can't believe George's 916 is worth 3 million.
I think he paid around $125k for it.

Speculator for sure, I can't see spending 550/904/906 money on a 916!
Maybe they thought $300k must have been $3m for a rare porsche (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeh 3 million seems a bit steep


Even if it was 300k id say thats money not too well spent


Id rather buy a 6 pack of tequiza beer
And 300.... thousands dollar a night hookers but thats just me


Mean while ill be putting around in my 73 1.7 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)


Happy 4th people (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)

Value aside, one of the greatest features of air cooled Porsches is the ability to modify and build the car you want. The 916's performance can easily be achieved by any 914 conversion and you can have fun without keeping a museum piece.

If someone gave me a 916, I would quickly sell it. I would rather have my 914.

Yeah, it's on the internet, so it must be true. I'm calling BS on $3 mil. I thought the article was sketchy overall. $1,000,000 for a '69 Camaro...c'mon.

I agree. Just google 10 most expensive cars and you get a whole assortment of lists! This just happened to be one of many.

I went to an event at Jerry Woods Enterprises in Campbell, CA years ago, I could have sworn there was an off white 916 in the parking lot, they had a rope offed barricade around it if I remember correctly.

No idea if real or a damn good conversion (had steel top)

Hi,

it is the no. 17

See here for more info:
http://www.pyritz-classics.de/fahrzeuge/porsche-916-2/

That car is currently owned by a member of the German Porsche 914-6 Club.

I saw it at the Stuttgart Retro Classics Show this year.

Here you find some more pics:

thanks, I know I have seen one there, could have been another color, I just remember seeing roof and thinking how cool that was.

For the life of me I cannot remember the younger guys name from Smart Racing, I think he was one of the guys that started the 911SC Cup Series from about 10 year ago. I think he was there at the time.

Andy might have been there, I think we got to sit in a 962 and get a picture taken in it.

Looking at the pix of that blue car, it's interesting the front shock towers aren't painted black like all the OEM 914-6's I've ever seen.
Does AA have the silver one that originally went to Peter Gregg and Brumos?

This is the 00018 car that lived in California for many years. It carried the CA blue plate of "916 S" and it was repainted at the factory to Duncan Blue early in it's life. It always had the Cork color interior.

I must have a 100 pictures of this car from various get togethers over the years and the car was gorgeous in person. It came up for sale a few years ago, advertised in Hemmings, and a friend and I checked it out. The owner wanted $350,000 for it back then and I heard it was sold and went to Austria from California. Somewhere on YouTube there is a video of it on the autobahn being driven hard.

My wife wouldn't agree to sell our house to buy it.
