This 1976 Porsche 911 has been modified mechanically and aesthetically to pay tribute to the 1979 Kremer-entered Porsche 935 K3 that captured the overall victory in the 1979 Le Mans 24 Hours driven by German Klaus Ludwig and his teammates, the American brothers Bill and Don Whittington. A second Kremer 935 entry finished third, outrun to the finish by the second place 935 that was entered by Dick Barbour and driven by himself, Paul Newman, and Rolf Stommelen. It was quite a weekend at Circuit de La Sarthe for the Porsche brigade!
In 1979, Porsche had been in the racing business for 31 years. During that time and since, Porsche has pitted its cars against the endless grueling stresses of races such as Le Mans, Daytona, the Nurburgring, and Sebring. At that point, they had more than 400 major race victories on a global scale. For the road or track, the major goal for Porsche wasn’t necessarily winning races; it was the learning process that was provided by the perfect proving grounds of a race track. This has led to the validation of its engineering and production successes.
Now fitted with a modern 3. 6-liter six-cylinder engine from a Type 964 series 911 with a full custom header/ exhaust system that is coupled to a five-speed manual transmission from a 914, this 911 offers an exceptional performance acumen to go with its race-inspired looks. Its stunning Kremer K3 replica body is made from fiberglass, with the doors still their original steel. To keep weight down, all windows are Lexan. Additional equipment includes an ATL fuel cell, full roll cage, coil-over suspension, various Type 930 911 Turbo suspension components, upgraded four-wheel disc brakes, a quick-release steering wheel, two Sparco racing seats with competition-style lap belts, racing-style alloy wheels, rear wing, pinned front/ rear decks, low-placed headlights, front fender louvers, a slant nose, similar livery to the Le Mans-winning exemplar, many braided lines, and more. All told, this stunning recreation weighs in around 2, 200 pounds, allowing it to out-handle and out-accelerate vehicles with far more horsepower.
The 1976 Porsche 935 Kremer K3 Recreation Racecar presented here looks exceptional in Silver with a Kremer livery and is conveyed as being “amazing to drive”, in addition to being well-sorted and reliable. The car is currently set up for the street with performance DOT-approved street-legal tires and a “road-friendly” suspension geometry. It is also noted that this Porsche could “easily be set up again for vintage racing with some minor modifications and current safety equipment” by its previous owner. Developed into an exceptional 935 Kremer K3 Recreation over the past 20 years and is set up to be street legal with lights, turn signals, horn, and everything else necessary for street usage, this Porsche is offered with a clean title to any collector, investor, or enthusiast who understands the value of the amount of time and effort undergone to create a vehicle such as this.
