911 030 1263

This 1970 Porsche 911S, chassis #911 030 1263, was the 1972 IMSA Camel GT Championship car. Hurley Haywood won the Camel GT Championship in it.

I believe that this car was built up at Brumos using a regular production car and an ST kit from the factory.

Can anyone confirm that and does anyone else have any other information on it?

added a photo from daytona Presidental 250 November 1972

i understand that this car had a continuous racing history up to the mid 1980's

later edit

John Starkey in post #70 later in this thread has identified this as an original factory built ST

911 030 1558
don't know much about this one
someone on the board should as it is in the USA

The only information I have on it is was originally delivered to France as a very quick street car; some club races in France.

still in narrow body form - unusual for a ST these days

911 030 1715 - finally an "Australian" car
The only RHD track ST
Western Australian registration XBC 121
Nick Moss has lots of information and pictures here http://www.early911.co.uk/historic/html/1970_st.html

My understanding is that this car was delivered from the factory as an ST - not constructed by a dealer or team.

The following information taken from when it was listed for auction at coys in the UK a couple of years ago

"its continuous and competitive racing from 1970 right through until 1978 it saw podium finishes in 100 races out of a total of 132 and 41 first places and a number of championship wins. Not only the most successful Australian competition Porsche, but certainly a contender for the most successful racing Porsche in the world"

"The cars racing career started in 1971 when it was sold new to New Zealander Ray Thackwell. Like many Kiwi privateers, he was virtually unknown to the outside, but had competed successfully in Formula 2 in Europe in the 1960s, racing under the Kiwi Equipe banner. With Thackwell at the wheel the 911 was almost unbeatable, winning 16 races outright from 21 starts, against state and national competition. The major victory that year was the 'Wanneroo' 6 Hour, a 6 hour endurance race competed by a large field from Western Australia, interstate and overseas, including a Lola T70. This event was the highlight of the Western Australian motor racing calendar."

"1972 was also a very successful year, with 12 outright victories from 17 starts, including another victory in the 'Wanneroo' 6 Hour, making it the only vehicle ever to have won the event twice."

"Following a restoration of the car to its original form in the UK, the car has proven popular and successful in many European events, performing a display as part of the Slowly Sideways group, including; The Rally of the Lakes, Killarney, Ireland 2002, 2003. The Eiffel Classic Rally, Germany 2003, 2004 and the Isle of Bute Historic Festival, Scotland 2003 and Goodwood Festival of Speed 2006.

Chassis number 911 030 1715, left the factory with a limited slip differential, lightweight interior, roll bar, and tinted front windscreen. Like all S/T's, all the bolt on panels were lightweight fibreglass, sometimes the rear wings were either steel or aluminium."

Hi Frank

I know that you own the car (911 130 0683) but are you sure that these two pictures of the car with registration 857 Z 9684 are of that car?

I have other pictures of a car looking remarkably similar, and with the same plates being driven by Zasada in the 1974 London-Kano-Munich world cup rally - attached.
It looks like a regular RS entered by Autofarm UK and was listed on the entry list as an "RS"

Interesting...I see that the worker in charge of putting the "world champion" decals on the lower right of the windshield was doing his job on the Tour De France car.

yes

they were careless in missing a weight saving opportunity there weren't they

[HughH]

that is the list of 1970 MY cars I have recorded.
in summary:
there are 5 cars that I think are Werks constructed and campaigned
911 030 0001
911 030 0002
911 030 0003
911 030 0949
911 030 0950

a further 5 cars that I am fairly confident were Werks constructed for customers
911 030 0990
911 030 1014
911 030 1127
911 030 1138
911 030 1715

a further car that was probably factory delivered as an ST
911 030 1558

one that I am confident was customer constructed from a werks kit
911 030 1263

and one I am not sure about
911 030 0993

However I have pictures of some other cars that can only be 1970 MY that I don't have numbers for
maybe someone on the board can fill in the details

the first one is car 79 at the 1970 ADAC 1000 km-Rennen Nürburgring (31.5.1970) entered by Racing Team AAW (D) and driven by Dieter Fröhlich (D)/Pauli Toivonen (SF) to 14th place but 1st in GT+2.0 (7 laps behind the winner).

This was one of a number of 911S's in this race in GT+2.0 suggesting that all might have been factory ST's, or at least group 3 or 4 cars constructed by teams such as Kremer.

The next car I have a picture of and think may be a factory ST (and may be a 71MY car) is (i think) a Spanish rallye car still with zoll plates (428 Z 9869) in a rallye in November 1970 (Ruiz Jimenez al cuarto Rallye Firestone-Picos de Europa Porsche 911 S, Alberto Ruiz-Gimenez - Ricardo Muñoz, Rally 2000 virajes ). (One photo shows what looks like 2 identical cars)

does anyone on the board have details of these cars? I am certain that the first one still exists and I would be surprised if the second one did not.
