This Street-Legal Porsche 962 Race at Le Mans. Now It Can Be Yours.

What’s better than a classic race car? One that can be driven on public roads, of course.

A Porsche 962 that raced at Le Mans is currently up for sale on Racecarsdirect.com. The vehicle’s competitive history alone would make it noteworthy, but this example is also street-legal. That’s right, you can drive it to and from your next track day.

The 962 is one of the great race cars in Porsche history. The sports prototype was introduced in 1984 as the replacement for the 956. It may not have reached the heights of its predecessor, which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but the 962 took the checkered flag at endurance racing’s main event two times and won 19 constructors’s championships across various series.

Privateer team Kremer Racing built and campaigned this particular 962, chassis no. CK6-88, in 1988. It competed on multiple fronts that season, including the FIA World Sports Prototype Championship, the FIA Coupe d’Europe Interserie, and the FIA World Challenge. It’s not one of the most successful 962s, but Kris Nissen drove it to victory at Hungaroring, Hockenheim, and Wunstorf. It also came in 9th at Le Mans that year, and Mario and Michael Andretti drove it during the final race of the World Challenge season. It was retired from international competition at the end of that year, but popped up at historical races in the decades since.

Today, the car wears the same red and white Kenwood livery it did when it competed at Le Mans in 1988. The vehicle has been rebuilt since, but is still powered by a period-appropriate 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat six, according to the sale listing. That mill makes an estimated 740 hp, which is sent to the rear axle via a five-speed manual. The car’s current owner, Joe Macari, employed Coventry-based BBM Motors to convert it for road driving earlier this decade. This process involved equipping the vehicle with a handbrake, a headset for driver-passenger communication, and a traction control system.

The 962 Kremer, which is currently located in England, is available to purchase now through Racecarsdirect.com. Macari is asking £999,950, or roughly $1.3 million, for the car. That’s a lot, of course, but at least you won’t have to pay a prohibitive tariff should you want to import it to the U.S.
