This is chassis #27 of 37 total made between 1977 and 1979 for customers.
One of few, in Vintage Racing Blue
This 1979 Porsche 935 was built to order for Los Angeles Times publisher and Porsche enthusiast Otis Chandler. It was one of only 37 customer examples constructed between 1977 and 1979, and it represented the final evolution of the 935 platform, which saw success in such endurance races as Daytona, Sebring, and Le Mans. This car—chassis 027—was driven by Chandler in the inaugural LA Times Grand Prix of Endurance in 1979, though it did not complete the race due to engine trouble. Its aerodynamic fiberglass body is painted “Vintage Racing Blue” to match Chandler’s Porsche 917/30.
