I know, it’s a replica. But if this were the real thing there would be several more zeros attached. A quick primer on the 904, the street-legal version debuted in 1964 in order to meet Group III regulations that require a set number of road cars be produced to qualify for competition. The 904 is the precursor to the 917.
Most of these now sit in museums or race in vintage events. These cars have also become quite popular on the replica market, some have fared better than others. What we have here is #2 in a series of 25 replica cars, I am unsure of the manufacturer but I am guessing this is a Beck product. The detail work is amazing and it is the most accurate tribute I have seen.
1964 Porsche 904 GTS Replica:
From the seller –
“THE PORSCHE 904 GTS WAS AN OUTSTANDING RACECAR ORINGALLY PRODUCED FROM 1964-1965. DESCRIBED AS A SPECIALIST RACING CAR, THIS PHENOMENAL MID-ENGINE COUPE HAD BEEN REPRODUCED IN A “25 ONLY” LIMITED PRODUCTION. THE 1964 PORSCHE 904 (GTS) COUPE IS NUMBER 2 OF 25 AND IS READY FOR THE STREET, TRACK AND EXPORT. IT IS FINISHED IN SILVER WITH BLUE CLOTH INTERIOR AND HAS ONLY 103 ACTUAL MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE ULTRA LIGHT-WEIGHT 904 HAS PLEXI SIDE AND REAR WINDOWS, ELECTRIC HEATED DEFROSTER ONLY AND NARDI WOOD STEERING WHEEL INSIDE. THE 1974 2.9L 911 ENGINE HAS BEEN CUSTOMIZED WITH 44mm GERMAN WEBER CARBURETORS THAT HAVE BEEN BORED TO 48mm. IT PRODUCES 300HP WITH A REV LIMIT OF 8500 RPM. THE FRONT OIL COOLER HAS A THERMAL REGULATOR, WHICH KEEPS THE MOTOR RUNNING VERY COOL. THERE IS A MECHINICALLY ADVANCED DISTRIBUTOR, HYDRAULIC CLUTCH, MODIFIED 911 FRONT ENGINE SUSPENSION, BILSTIEN COIL OVER SHOCKS, 4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES AND 16″ WHEELS AND TIRES. OF THE 10 ALREADY PRODUCED, 90% ARE KNOWN TO BE IN EUROPE. THE TITLE READS AS A 1964 PORSCHE 904 GTS WHICH MAKES FOR AN EXTREMELY RARE OPPORTUNITY.”
Bidding has been furious on this car, currently it sits at $65.1k with quite a bit of time left. The interest is understandable with only 105 miles on the ODO. This is essentially a new car, comparable examples have traded anywhere between $90-130k so even the buy it now of $105k does not seem out of line.

I believe the seller recently paid a lot more than the 65k for it. If I were you I would be ULTRA cautious with that seller.
Sold for $105k.
The car is still listed for sale on their site. I doubt it sold on eBay no matter what the eBay listing says.
