One of just nine privateer cars built by the factory to compete in the 1983 World Endurance Championship season, no. 110 was originally bound for the legendary Fitzpatrick racing team and debuted as their lead car at the 1983 24 Hours of Le Mans with John Fitzpatrick, Dieter Quester, and David Hobbs at the wheel. Though the car retired due to fuel-pump failure, success was not far off. Just three races into its career, this 956 landed its first overall win at the Can-Am Road America in July 1983 at the hands of John Fitzpatrick, who secured a commanding 12-second lead over the second place Frisbee GR2 Chevrolet. Podium finishes were abundant from there, with chassis no. 110 achieving 3<sup>rd<\/sup> overall at Can-Am Mosport, 1<sup>st<\/sup> overall at the 1000 KM at Brands Hatch, 2<sup>nd<\/sup> overall at the 1000 KM Imola, 3<sup>rd<\/sup> overall at 1000 KM Mugello and Silverstone, and contending the 24 Hours of Le Mans one last time in 1984.<br \/>\n<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1983-Porsche-956-Group-C_5-e1537218272636.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-649271 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1983-Porsche-956-Group-C_5-e1537218272636.jpg\" alt=\" Matthew Howell \u00a9 2018 Courtesy of RM Sotheby's\" width=\"942\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1983-Porsche-956-Group-C_5-e1537218272636.jpg 942w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1983-Porsche-956-Group-C_5-e1537218272636-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1983-Porsche-956-Group-C_5-e1537218272636-100x54.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1983-Porsche-956-Group-C_5-e1537218272636-770x412.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1983-Porsche-956-Group-C_5-e1537218272636-293x157.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hugely successful on the track and the only 956 to compete and win on American soil in period, the Porsche joined a private collection immediately following the 1984 24 Hours of Le Mans and has had just three private owners since this time. Offered from its current owner of 16 years, the 956 is presented in its 1983 Le Mans livery and is likely the most original example of the model in existence. With an excellent driver lineup that includes John Fitzpatrick, Derek Warwick, Thierry Boutsen, and Alain de Cadenet, as well as the well-known liveries of J David, Skoal Bandit, and Rollei, the Porsche is an ideal candidate for preservation class concours entry or for vintage competition at the Le Mans Classic and 24 Hours of Daytona historic races. RM Sotheby\u2019s estimates that the 956 will achieve $5,250,000 &#8211; $6,750,000 when it crosses the podium in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 956 is an important addition to our Porsche 70<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary auction lineup,\u201d says Alexander Weaver, Car Specialist, RM Sotheby\u2019s. \u201cThe 956 model was a highly successful sports racing car and is considerably rarer and more user friendly than its Group 6 sister car, the iconic 917. Given that the car was raced by one of just two privateer teams to ever beat the Works Rothmans team with a 956 in a 1,000 KM championship race, and the only 956 to win in the U.S., it is especially fitting that the car be offered at the Porsche Experience Center Atlanta during the 70<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary year.
