A striking re-creation of the legendary 1966 Porsche 906 is set to roll across the auction block during the Henderson Collector Motor Series Auction on Saturday, May 3, 2025. The event will be held at the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, one of the nation’s premier venues for motorsport heritage.
Offered under chassis number 2198726B, this Porsche 906 re-creation captures the spirit and design of the iconic factory-built Carrera 6, a model that left its mark on endurance racing during the mid-1960s. With its low-slung fiberglass bodywork, sleek aerodynamics, and period-correct styling cues, the re-creation offers enthusiasts a rare chance to experience the visceral appeal of one of Porsche’s most celebrated competition cars—at a fraction of the original’s multimillion-dollar value.
Originally introduced in 1966, the Porsche 906 marked a turning point for the brand’s motorsports ambitions. With victories at events like the Targa Florio and class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 906’s blend of lightweight engineering and high-revving power established it as a formidable force on the international stage.
Though technical specifications for this particular re-creation have not yet been publicly released, examples like it typically feature tube-frame construction, a fiberglass body, and air-cooled flat-six powertrains—replicating the driving experience of the original factory cars.
The car will be offered at no reserve, drawing interest from collectors and track-day enthusiasts alike. With vintage racing gaining renewed popularity, period-accurate re-creations like this one are increasingly sought after as turnkey entries into historic motorsport events.
Henderson Auction’s Collector Motor Series sale will be held at the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum on Saturday, May 3, 2025 starting at 6:30pm. The Barber Museum and racing facilities have welcomed millions of hardcore vintage car and motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world making this venue the perfect backdrop to showcase your vehicles. We are excited that our May 3, 2025, auction will be held during the Children’s of Alabama INDY GRAND PRIX this year!
