1978/81 Porsche 935 "Moby Dick"
Chassis # 935.81.JR.001

One of only three Porsche 935 “Moby Dick” built by the factory. While one was totally destroyed in a racing accident at Riverside, California the other car is on display at the Porsche factory Museum making this example the only Porsche 935 “Moby Dick” in private hands and one of only two remaining cars built. Fabulous history with JOEST Racing and Moretti. Successfully campaigned by racing legends such as J.Maas, G.Moretti, B.Rahal, B.Wollek and others until 1983. An extensive frame-off restoration was just completed and the car was accepted in the 2004 Historic LeMans races. A rare opportunity to own one of the most significant and competitive Porsche race cars ever built.

This car has already been approved to run the Le Mans Classic.
