Excellent original race history. Modified in period (1979). This factory built Porsche 934/5 is one of the fastest available, featuring air-to-air intercooling of its big single turbo engine. It has a very good racing history, see below, and will prove a very fast competitor to any ‘standard (!)” 935 out there.

Chassis No: 930 670 0161
Production No: 106 3716
Options: 185.248. 28th car built.
Color: Yellow.
First Owner/Agent: Losch. (Koob.)

Nicholas Koob only raced this 934 once, at Zolder, before selling it at the end of 1976 to Hans Christian Jurgensen who promptly started enjoying a three year long campaign with the 934, which netted him many first and second places.

In the winter of 1979/80, Armando Gonzales of Puerto Rico bought the car and gave it to Chuck Gaa of Atlanta to update with increased rollcage stiffness, a raised gearbox (to reduce drive-shaft travel), 935-style nose and tail and an air scoop on the rear window to funnel air into the air-to-air intercooler. Thus equipped, Gonzales raced the 934 for the next three seasons before selling it to Kikos Fonseca. Fonseca raced the car in IMSA and South American events before selling it at a Christie’s auction, as he had built a tube frame 935 by this time.

1994 saw the 934 being exchanged for a Ferrari 275 GTB and the 934 was stripped, with a rebuild in mind, by the new owner but never finished. Jim Torres of Burbank Coach Works bought the project and restored it back to its 1980 configuration in 1999. 0161 has been demonstrated by Torres at Daytona and Willow Springs and is remarkably fast!
