These fiberglass parts appear to be made at different times, different color, are they able to match up without fabricating? Do they all fit together? David.

I don't know the history of the parts. They came to us with a bunch of other parts when we bought out a shop. The yellow rear end is a very different weight of fiberglass than the rest (heavy). It's not a weekend, snap together kit but it wasn't priced that way either when I sold it a couple years ago. I wasn't able to convince my wife that it would make good yard art. It should make a fun project for someone, especially if more 904 parts have been collected.

I know you said it is thought to be an older Gunnar Racing body and had no paperwork, so this is most likely a stupid question, but does that mean they are replica and not made by Porsche? Or any idea on how to tell if it's replica or not. Thanks for your time.

Yes, it's a replica. Porsche made a limited amount of real 904's and they now sell for $1million +.

Kelsie, The Guy you might want to talk to is Chuck Beck, He is very approachable and very knowledgable. Google Chuck Beck, Beck 550 Spyder and you should find his Phone #. He can answer all your questions and you can trust his answers. David la Ruse.

Kelsie, Paul had conversations with Beck he will remember him as your dad made some tail lights for his cars.
