1985 IMSA GTU Porsche 911

Our IMSA GTU Porsche 911 was built by Karl Durkheimer of Portland, Oregon, USA in 1985.

Karl had previously raced a 911 them moved up a class to GTU to race a Corvette, but he missed the handling and feel of his old 911, so he had a GTU spec car specially designed and built to race in the IMSA GTU class.

The car then passed through several hands before being bought by Tony Canahuate in the Dominican Republic. Tony further developed the car with the aid of Porsche wiz Dave Jarvis of Jarvis Tech with sponsorship from Quakerstate Oil (now part of Shell). This resulted in several Championship wins in Latin America. We aquired the car via Dave Jarvis several years ago. After sitting under a tarp in the Dominican Republic for several years the car is currently under full restoration.
