1965 Porsche  904

The second to last 904 GTS produced, it was first used as a promotional vehicle by Porsche of Hekla, Iceland for cold-weather testing and promotional purposes. It was later sold to its first private owner, Dr. Carl Armstrong of Toledo, Ohio. Dr. Armstrong raced the 904 GTS in a variety of Midwest SCCA events. Later early ownerships included several well-known early USA owners. This 904 GTS was then sold to a German collector and crossed the pond to the European continent. Soon thereafter it was sold to its next ownership in the United Kingdom prior to returning to the USA in 2016. All history is extremely well documented.
 
The third of only four original Series 2 specification 904 Carrera GTSs built. The factory paid special attention to these late series 2 production 904s, seeing to every minute detail, ensuring that everything was correct. Late Series reinforced chassis, center-filling gas tank, short doors with rare pull-up plastic side windows, upgraded brakes, and a reshaped tail section with a slight K-tail.108 904 GTSs were built in total. This 904 was extensively researched by Porsche factory expert Jurgen Barth and referenced by Jerry Pantis, in his book, The Porsche 904, 906 & 910 in the Americas.
