This 962 was the sixth customer chassis constructed by Porsche and was delivered to Jim Busby Racing for the 1985 IMSA racing season. It competed under BF Goodrich sponsorship in over 35 races during 1985 and 1986. It is the original factory monocoque and is displayed with the 1985 Sun Bank 24 Hours of Daytona livery. In 1985, under the Busby Racing banner, it finished second at Riverside and was driven to a 3rd place finish at the 24 Hours of Daytona by Jochen Mass, Jim Busby and Rich Knoop. 1986 saw Mass and Busby, joined by Derek Warwick and Darin Brassfield achieve a back-to-back repeat at the 24 Hours of Daytona. For two successful seasons, including eight podiums and 12 top five finishes, chassis 962-106 was a fierce competitor on the IMSA circuit. Purchased in 2011, the car has undergone a complete race prepared restoration by Bob Russo with paint by Blades Enterprises and graphics by Dave Schnorr of Auto-Graph-It.
