Auction Gallery: 1970 Porsche 908/3

RM Auctions are set to put another rare and stunning piece of Porsche motorsport history up on the auction block this coming March 9, when this glorious ’70 Porsche 908/3 chassis 004 goes to auction at their Amelia Island sale.

Details about the car are scarce for the time being, but it is said to be the factory test chassis Porsche used to prepare for the ’70 and ’71 Makes Championship and ultimately secure wins in events like the Targa Florio.

It’s also exceptionally rare, as chassis 004 from a very short production run, which gives you an idea of the asking price – an estimated $1,400,000 to  $1,700,000.
