Porsche 718 GTR from about 1962

SACO · November 11, 2012, 05:53:53 AM

Yes ,it's a Porsche , but ~~718 not GTR~~ !
Locked for you !

A conversion of a 718 RS for road use ?

SACO · November 11, 2012, 09:47:16 AM

Sorry ,not a 718 !

Thgat exhaust system suggests a flat-4 Porsche. So is it a conversion of a 550A RS1500 for road use?

SACO · November 11, 2012, 11:21:55 AM

Yes , it's a conversion for road use ,but not a 550A RS1500 !

Well, if it's not a 718 or a 550A, it can't be a 356 as they were road cars anyway and it can't be anything later (I think) as they didn't have a Y-shaped exhaust. So that only leaves a 550.

If I'm wrong, please unlock it as I'm baffled.

I am not a specialist of Porsche, but there is one 356b which is only for the competition

Unlocked !

Looks like a 1963 Porsche 356B 2000GS Carrera 2 GT

SACO · November 12, 2012, 01:36:42 AM

Yes , locked for you !

I can't find any images of this exact car. As far as I can tell, only 2 356B 2000GS Carrera 2 GT's were built. (GS and GT?). Are you waiting on the coachbuilder?

Guess #1: Reutter

SACO · November 12, 2012, 08:24:43 AM

Yes , a conversion of a 2000GS for road use by a coachbuilder ,but not Reutter !

sixtee5cuda · November 12, 2012, 09:42:17 AM

Conversion by Beutler?

Is the 2000 GS GT in the Porsche museum, the first or second? Of the two cars built, is one lost?

SACO · November 12, 2012, 10:16:36 AM

Not Beutler !
I don't know if the car always has this appearance

SACO · November 16, 2012, 01:39:25 AM

(The only images I have found of this car, are from an auction of a 3-part image. All 3 parts are now in this puzzle)

It would be nice to have more information about this car, but the auction image and description are all I could find.

Here is the front view:

The front and side views look a lot like an RSK. The rear 1/3 of the car looks like it is hinged for engine access. Doesn't that imply it is mid-engine? And would that imply, it isn't a 2000GS/356B?

(Whenever a puzzle is based on a single source of information, I wonder at the accuracy.)

Thanks, Bill. Your logic sure sounds good. I wouldn't expect a tailhanger Porsche to have a lotta the rear hinged. What is it they say? "This is Autopuzzles where things are never what they seem."
