This article also identifies the chasis number of this Carrera 6 as 906-134, see herehttp://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/chassisNum.aspx?carid=8042&idNumID=1511 - Is it a mistake or was this 906 recently more correctly restored? "This is a 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera with serial number 906134. It is considered, by may of the world's highest placed racing drivers, to be on e of the finest racing cars ever developed. Blessed with excellent performance, lightweight, docile handling and exceptional reliability, the 906 immediately became a dominate competitor and carried on winning for many years. 906 #134 began its World Championship racing career with Team Holland. Driven by Dutchmen Ben Pon and Gijis van Lennep, a Le Mans winner, the car finished 7th overall in the ADAC 1000 Kilometer Race at Nurburgring. For the 1976 Le Mans Grand Prix d'Endurance, Ben Pon and Vick Elford finished 7th overall. The car was then sold to a succession of amateur teams in whose hands the car continued racing for many years. Subsequently, the car came to the United States for a complete restoration under the direction of Bruce Canepa. Since completion, the car remains an active competitor in many vintage racing events. This car is powered by a six-cylinder engine capable of producing 235 horsepower and 200 foot-pounds of torque. It has a Porsche five-speed manual gearbox and an independent suspension in both the front and rear. It gets about six-miles to the gallon and rides on Dunlop wheels."
