907 longtail and semi longtail history

[moito]

trying to puzzle the history of two cars together

anyone knows the whereabouts of the 907longtail that won it`s class at le mans `67 #41 vin 907004
was it converted to a semi longtail (and 8 cylinder) and raced at brands hatch the same year(#12)..or was this it`s sister car vin 907003(#40 at LM)? or a completely different car?
and whats the vin of car #55 wrecked in daytona 68? and what happened to it? the green nose suggests it could have been 004.

any help appreciated
thanks much
franz

Chassis LH 907 004, 901 F6 1991 cc, Registration S-ZL 692
11.6.1967, 24 h Le Mans, Start number 41, Jo Siffert (CH)/Hans Herrmann (D), 5th overall , 1st in class P2.0, for Porsche System Enginnering.
The very same chassis did participate in the US races:
4.2.1968, 24 h Daytona, Start number 55, Rico Steinemann (CH)/Dieter Spoerry (CH), for Squadra Tartaruga, DNF, hence the accident pics.

In Daytona is this year following chassis did participate
907 005, Start number 54, Typ 771 F8 2195 cc
907 006, Start number 53, Typ 771 F8 2195 cc
907 008, Start number 52, Typ 771 F8 2195 cc
907 011, Start number 51, Typ 771 F8 2195 cc

907 004 is listed for the
23.3.1968, 12 h Sebring, Start number 58, Rico Steinemann (CH)/Dieter Spoerry (CH), for Squadra Tartaruga, DNA
but if you look at the entries the driver team is listed with 910 027…despite 907 004 is in the list as “did not arrive”

In the 6 H Brands Hatch, the 30.7.1967, chassis 907 007, Start number 12, equipped with a Typ 771 F8 2195 cc, Hans Herrmann (D)/Jochen Neerpasch (D), finished 4th overall.

907 003, 901 F6 1991 cc, registration S-ZL 691, is only listed for the 67 Le Mans race,
Start number 40, Rindt / Mitter, DNF due to camshaft problems with 103 laps finished

sad to see what happened to 007....hope the new owner(if sold) decides to bring it back to it`s original (unique) look.

Porsche 907-007 was also used in Sicily by Porsche for testing before the 1968 Targa Florio along with 911R prototype R2, S-YZ 29. The pictures below
have been shared before in the Ultimate R thread, but without the inset photo of Neepasch sitting in a RHD 911. It appears that the original source was a magazine "AS". Is that an Italian motorsport magazine?

Translation by Google

NEERPASCH doesn't care
Among the many things that Neerpasch destroyed in the accident that occurred to him with the 907 prototype, there is also the special silencer that the mechanics had applied to the machine so as not to disturb the populations of the countries crossed and not to have long incontestable reports written by the « < Street ». In our photos the << 907 » before and after use. The car with and without the muffler. But the one who seems not to care about the inconvenience is Neerpasch himself, the author of the ... crime. His expression after the accident certainly doesn't look worried
