The Porsche 910 was a purpose-built racing car designed specifically for international endurance racing. Chassis 006 was originally used by Porsche to test brakes and suspension for the factory racing program. 006 competed in the 1967 Targa Florio Race, driven by Magliari and Shutz, and in 1969, driven by two French privateers, the car finished first in class in the 24 hours of Le Mans. It was later sold and converted to a Spyder for use in German hill climb competition. Purchased by Rick Grand and Howard Cherry, from a Connecticut collector, the car underwent a 10-month restoration that include a new body in the original coupe configuration. Crashed in its maiden vintage outing, while leading in the pouring rain at Watkins Glen, the car has been totally restored for vintage endurance competition. Campaigned by Gran Motorsports and driven by Howard Cherry and John Higgins.
