Displayed here is production model number 788 and it tells an amazing history. 788 was initially delivered to Porsche Austria where it was owned and operated by the company until Fall of 1974. From there it was sold to an owner who kept it in his family until 1979. The car's second owner then made the decision to restore it into a lightweight class car. The owner contacted Porsche Australia whose restoration equipped the vehicle with all-new factory parts as well as their rare sport lightweight seats. After these restorations 788 was kept by its then-owner until 2002 before making its way to America. In 2009 the vehicle was due for another restoration from Gunner Porsche Racing who gave the Carrera a full nut and bolt restoration.

All of the sportscar's original parts were replated or refinished before receiving a paint job back to its original tangerine orange color.
