Three Pointed Scraper: what was the civilian one sold for?
I use the phrase "three pointed scraper" to see if I am talking to a tried and true 356 buff. It was an odd looking 356B race car that Porsche made two of. I asked a German at RENNfest in Monterey last week if he knew if either had been owned privately and he said "no" but when I checked on the net lo and behold I found one has had three owners outside of Porsche before they bought it back.
Here's what the articles said on ConceptCars.com.
"This is the rarest of the Porsche Carreras. Two examples of this 'dreikantshaber' ('triangular scraper') were built. An FIA minimum requirement of 100 examples of a chassis/engine combination had no coachwork stipulations attached. Porsche had success with its Spyders of 1961 with similar aerodynamic coachwork, so this aluminum body was constructed to fit a 356B chassis. The cars were successful at such famed venues as LeMans, Sebring (9th and 10th overall) and Nurburgring (4th). Their best outing was the 1963 Targa Florio, where they garnered a 2-liter class win and third place overall. Porsche retains one car, which is in their Stuttgart museum. This example has had only three owners since being sold by Porsche in 1964. "
The website, in case you want to see three pictures is 1963 Porsche 2000GS GT | Conceptcarz.com
So I am curious to hear just one of the prices it changed hands for when in private hands. I figure today they are each worth $2-3 million depending on which one ran which races
