whereabouts unknown
edit per march 2023:
sold by Mr.Mezger to an omnibus manufacturer, who had a slight accident at a race track.
This had been Walter Vetter junior from „Walter Vetter Karosserie- und Fahrzeugbau“ in Fellbach near Stuttgart.
Mr. Vetter senior had been in coach building business since 1922 and was well known and connected within the industry. In 1932 he also codesigned and built the streamlined body of a racing car based on the Mercedes-Benz SSK (jokingly called “cucumber” because of its shape), which, driven by Manfred von Brauchitsch, won the international AVUS race that year.
Mr. Walter Vetter junior, who had been in the company of his father since 1956, purchased #13326 and sold it after the accident to Hahn Automobile in Fellbach, in partial exchange for a new 911. The engine was kept by Mr. Vetter junior as a replacement unit for his racing aspirations.

With this new car he is listed in some races, participating in the GT class -
Mr. Ruf senior bought the "stripped chassis" from Hahn as a birthday present for his son in 1969.
Chassis 13326 hence was equipped with a 616 engine.
Restored by Mr. Ruf junior beginning in 2019.
Presented to public in March 2023
