Porsche 935 K3 Interscope
REQUIST A printable PDF document with PhotosChassis No: 000 00017
This is of the most significant 935s from the golden age of IMSA racing. Purchased new by Ted Field for his Interscope racing team and driver Danny Ongais it was very competitive in the 1980 IMSA championship claiming five podium finishes. At the Daytona Finale, Danny Ongais qualified on pole and set the fastest lap in the race. Unlike most other 935s that were raced for many years and constantly modified to keep pace with the competition, this car competed for only one season. It was never crashed or modified and remains in perfect period specification.After the 1980 IMSA season Interscope ordered a new Kremer K4 and this car was put into storage and never raced again. In 1982 John Klug purchased the car and then sold it to Teco Almeda for display in his private collection in Europe. It remained on display for18 years!
In September of 2000 the car was purchased by Carlos DeQuesada from the UK brokers Winkligh Garage LTD and returned to the US. After DeQuesada’s first US vintage race the fuel system including the injector pump was completely rebuilt. The next event was the HSR event at Daytona where the car ran beautifully and all mechanical systems performed flawlessly. To prepare for the first Rennsport Reunion the car underwent a cosmetic restoration and as a result was voted “best 935” at the event.
Steve Goldin purchased the car from DeQuesada in September 2001. Goldin competed in US historic races including Sebring, Road America, and Watkins Glen with HSR. In two seasons of vintage racing the car ran flawlessly and was never damaged competing in approximately 10 events. Just before selling the car the engine was completely rebuilt and currently has only one race weekend of use. In 2007 the car was accepted and competed at the Monterey Historic Automobile races.
