 This car that was originally built for Eberhard Mahle (the 1967 European Hillclimb champion and of the company that made pistons for Porsche at the time) to run in various hillclimbs, rallies, and FIA GT events in Germany and France.

The car was purchased, sight unseen, in early 1969 from the Porsche race department by Bruce O'Niel. The car was air-freighted to LAX and appeared to have "just come off the racetrack". Bruce first tried to race the car with the SF region SCCA as a "production " car until numerous protests were filed.
