Description:

After 32 years in single private ownership, we are pleased to offer our 1981 Porsche 924 Carrera GTR, chassis # BS720008. It is the 8th example of the believed 19 total chassis. This specific variant was run by privateer group Herman & Miller, and one of the three chassis to submit to Le Mans 1982 in the IMSA GTO Class. Under the sponsorship of BF Goodrich, chassis BS720008 ran as car number 86, alongside sibling car number 87. Chassis BS720008's season began in January of 1982 at the 24hrs of Daytona, sponsored by BF Goodrich, alongside a sibling transaxle car. The vehicle, raced by Paul Miller, Pat Bedard and Jürgen Barth, placed 4th in GTO class, 11th overall. BS720008 continued its motorsport career post Le Mans. At the Trans-Am Trois Rivières, driven by Paul Miller, it would finish the race with a bronze metal. The following year 1983, chassis BS720008 would take part in a host of events, such as the 12hrs of Sebring, the Riverside 6hrs, the Mid-Ohio 6hrs, and various competition Trans-Am races from 1984-1985 at Portland, Atlanta, Trois Rivières, and Mosport.Currently this 924 GTR wears its 1982 Le Mans BF Goodrich livery. The car was only given an exterior livery treatment with the cockpit, engine compartment, and underside remaining in unrestored condition. The car has not been started and ran since the early 2000's but that the engine turns over freely and that the original mechanical components of the car remain intact since being put into storage.

It remains 1 of only 7 GTRs to have taken part at Le Mans. Much of its integrity has been left intact.
The exterior condition shows expected wear for its age after years of mild track use followed by long term storage, with most of the visible wear appearing on the front bumper, as seen in photos. To prevent the fenders and front bumper from track wear and tear, protective film was applied but never removed, still being visible throughout

This GTR appears to not have lost any of its original equipment. Both the instrument cluster and Momo steering wheel appear to be to spec, as do the door panels. Further indication that the car remains largely original to how it was last raced, the interior remains in preserved condition. The roll cage appears to be original and unchanged, and even features a hand stamped identification number: G07 759.Accompanying this GTR are spare fiberglass body panels and 1 full set of BBS Center lock wheels. Additionally, there is an air jack hose system. Note that this car will be sold on Bill of Sale.

This vehicle is able to compete in Historical FIA racing.
