The Ford V Ferrari Movie Porsche 906 Replica
SOLD!
This incredible machine is history on wheels indeed.
While it is a modern replica of a vintage Porsche racer,
it is one that comes with a pedigree and provenance of its own
as it was built and used on film in the 2019 movie Ford V Ferrari
After filming the cars were liquidated through private sale by the picture car captain from the film.
A certificate of authenticity will be provided to the buyer.
The car actually played two different cars in the movie, being repainted and stickered for
different scenes. In its current livery it was used in the scenes from the Daytona race which were
actually filmed after the climactic Le Mans race at the end when it was in yellow and white.
The image of the car is pure and perfect and it is not just a movie prop,
This was professionally built to perform at speed. not just to look fast.
One of the stunt drivers for the film reportedly hit 140mph in this car and
of all the cars created for the film, the drivers loved the 906 replicas the best.
There were 5 of these cars built for use in the film,
Three were the short tail version and two were the long tail versions of the 906.
One of the short tail examples was wrecked on camera and was scrapped
but the others have now found homes in private collections.
This car was sold to a Pennsylvania based collector and historian that proceeded to
truly take the car to the next level with many parts and details to make it as accurate of a replica
to the actual #15 906 race car driven by Hans Hermann at Daytona.
The end results of his efforts has created a truly impressive showpiece that has actually
been on display at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta GA and remains there today.
Here is a photo of the car on display at the Porsche facility in a special exhibit of Movie Cars.
A very convincing replica down to period style tires and modified Porsche wheels.
The road wear from use in the film only adds to the effect.
Just beyond cool!
The details are impressive
This is not your average replica, or your traditionally sketchy movie prop.
The production company reportedly spent in the realm of $150-175k each on these cars just in construction
and then the current owner has gone deep into chasing original details and improving it greatly.
Removable steering wheel for easy access,
Porsche 917 style custom layered wood shift knob.
The gullwing doors are an epic attribute.
When used in the LeMans scenes this car was Yellow and White
Its current livery being the blue and grey.
Lights are all functional
Oh dear Lord this thing is beautiful!
Anyway, back to the beast that is under that beauty.
This is a full race car tube frame with adjustable coil over suspension
multi link rear end, four wheel Wilwood disc brakes
and brand new crate EJ25 Subaru engine and 5 speed transaxle.
This is rated at approx 160-170 hp in a car that weighs roughly 1200 pounds.
Wicked!
The details that the current owner went nuts on have really taken it to the next level.
The film provided many of the details such as the period markings on the harnesses
but the German language tape labels on all controls and period logos on the coils seated in the factory racer locations...
its all so good!
Slip those babies on and go for a drive...
In fact there is an amazing film that has been done on this car and its owner that is posted on YouTube
CLICK HERE TO VIEW!
The film as well as these photos truly show the car in its element and its spectacular.
Wow!
The seller is including the props and details with the same and has even gone deeper
in acquiring one of the actual driver suits from the film as well as tons of additional film related information
and documentation. The helmet is period correct in style, the gloves as well.
He also has made contact with the original drivers of the actual #15 Porsche 906 at Daytona
and has had them sign a brass plaque that can be affixed to the dashboard.
The custom megaphone tips just like the original...the license plate and lighting, it all just looks right.
The body is all bonded fiberglass and the molds were made and used only for the film.
This is not a car that you will see reproduced again and only two exist in the short tail format.
I know...lots of "beauty shots"
but they are all so awesome I wanted to share them all
Even the proper Daytona gate pass is in the window!
This fuel cap is a prop...
This one is the real deal into a full race spec fuel cell.
The screen is the only really obvious non-period item inside and it is all a part of the engine management
system and gives the driver the needed details.
Wiper is functional
Carb stacks are just for show of course, the engine is all electronic fuel injection.
Here is the beast within.
This is a well built serious performance machine.
Radiator
Suspension details
Quality welds and fabrication, built with no expense spared
and built to perform at speed...not just look the part.
A once in a lifetime opportunity.
The originals are absolutely stratospheric in value, and the film use gives it provenance that will always
follow it. The attention to performance and safety was well funded and applied by skilled hands.
It is only one of two SWB examples in existence and there will be no more.
A fantastic addition to any collection.
SOLD!
