This Quick Blue 1963 Porsche 901 served as a Porsche show car and a project car for a young Alois Ruf Jr.
by Alois Ruf Sr. in 1939, initially as an ordinary garage in Pfaffenhausen, Germany, near Munich.
An enduring connection to Porsche would begin in 1963 with the repair of a damaged 356, and later that year Ruf Jr. would catch a glimpse of a blue 901 on a rain-soaked autobahn near Günzburg, about halfway between Munich and Stuttgart. That brief glimpse created a lasting impression. The 901 had only recently been introduced as the replacement for the 356, which the Ruf garage had already begun to specialize in. A trademark dispute with Peugeot would soon lead to aIn 1969, Alois Ruf Sr. gave his son one of those earlier 901 models as a 19th birthday present, so he'd have something to work on once he got his driver's license. The original flat-6 had been replaced by the flat-4 from a Porsche 912, but Ruf Jr. happily drove the 901 for many years.
The car—chassis number 13326—was built in September 1963 and made its public debut at the Earls Court auto show in London on Oct. 16 of that year, and then appeared at the 1964 Geneva auto show the following March.A dummy engine was installed for the show appearances, but chassis 13326 was then handed over to Porsche's development department, which installed a real engine and tested the car at Germany's Hockenheimring.
