WOW another EARLY car for my list, too bad it's in Germany
but the current bid status should give us an indication of the increase in value of the early cars over the last couple years

they added spoilers bangheadbangheadbangheadbanghead bangheadbanghead:

Are you sure they were added? Look at the front bumper, there are cutouts for the brake ducts. If it had not been fitted with spoilers, these cutouts would not be there... of course unless the PO cut them.

heinrich

Doubt they were an option in '77 ....

If it is a '77, it looks like it was 'updated' with the Competition Group at some point.

Spoilers, dish wheels, rub strips(?), passenger mirror(?), 928 decal, Anza exhaust, later wiper arm

already over 5K euros, not a bad price and 2 hours to go.
BTW, I thought porsche VIN numbers for production cars always started at a higher number, like 000051?

it's a prototype/in-house car, pre production whatever you want to call it
regular production #s start at 00051

First registration was February 10, 1977 - that is even before the 928 was first presented at the Geneva auto show.

It is not unusual for Porsches to be upgraded, and given that it was owned by a race car driver, I'm not surprised to find the spoilers on it. As sad as it is...

I'd like to see some detail pictures - lots of them, if possible!

VINs 50-60 were reserved for special cars, says Jörg Austen in his book...

Vilhuer

For these early cars there were probably many more ROW model protos using VIN's 0001-0050 than in later years. Less so for US and especially for Japanise models. I think first 10 or 20 cars were made on single spot outside normal production line when production line work was rehearsed with them. AFAIK these were done in early February '77. This could be one of those cars or very first one to come from normal line between 911's.

marton

makes sense

I must be asleep today, I see it is described as "war als Erprobungsfahrzeug" which is something like "test car"

Anybody heard of a race driver called "leckebusch "

heard that before but not sure it is true....; mine is WPO ZZZ 92 ZCS 840 060

Nicole

That's what I would have tought, too! But Jörg Austen writes that production start was in the second half of 1977 in Porsche Werk 2 - INDEPENDENT from the production line for the 911
