This 1966 Porsche 906 racer, recently listed for auction on Bring A Trailer, represents one of approximately 50 examples built for participation in the FIA Group 4 competition during a single year of production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purchased new from the Porsche factory by hill-climb champ Joseph \u201cSepp\u201d Greger, the car has seen an extensive racing history under the piloting of Greger and a number of other racers. Over its lifetime, the 906 achieved class victory in 12 of 14 European Hill Climb Championship events, raced in German hill climbs through 1968.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following three ownership changes and countless other competitive racing experiences, the 906 would eventually suffer a crash in 1971 but that wasn\u2019t the end of its career. Following the crash, the car was converted from standard coupe bodywork to a spider configuration, purchased by another driver and raced in the Macau Grand Prix in 1973 \u2014 to later be sold to a collector and disassembled in the late \u201980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 906 would then change hands between several other collectors, ultimately remaining in a disassembled state until it reached New York in 2003, where its owner at the time, commissioned a full restoration by Gunnar Racing under consultation of the vehicle\u2019s original driver and owner, \u201cSepp\u201d Greger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restoration of the 906 would take roughly three years, as the body was restored to the original coupe configuration, repainted to factory Signal Red and equipped with a Type 901\/20 flat-six that featured a serial number just one digit away from the original unit. It then spent time in the UK, where it was fitted with a 2.3-liter Type 901\/06 flax-six built by the 901 Shop in Florida with triple-throat Weber carburetors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purchased by its current owner in 2021, the 906 is now offered on dealer consignment as part of the Gruppe P Collection Part II and includes its removed replacement Type 901\/20 engine, an uninstalled MOMO Monza steering wheel, a copy of its Kardex, historical German registration documents, historical photos and a clean North Carolina title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gorgeous bodywork featured on the 906 was made possible during its manufacturing year due to a change in FIA GT regulations, allowing for it to incorporate a tubular space frame, a drastic difference from the box-section frame of its predecessor, the 904.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, the auction for this storied 906 has four days left and has received 18 bids, with a current highest offer of $855,000 USD. For additional information or to place a bid yourself, visit Bring A Trailer\u2019s official site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
