This photo was taken at Pebble Beach in 1990. The car is a Porsche 906 LH (langheck or in English, longtail ) chassis 153 and was one of four constructed by Porsche in 1966 - one was used as a test car and the other three were entered at Le Mans that year.
This car driven by Siffert and Davis finished 4th overall behind the trio of Ford GT40's, it also claimed 1st in class and the Index of Performance. The car was later converted back to a regular short tail and when I found it in France in the late 80's, it was a rolling chassis. The restoration was complicated as no molds were available for the long tail and only with the cooperation of Porsche was I able to get a copy of the original drawings and the mold and tail was built using them. Today, 906-153 is the only long tail example in existence.
ACW was responsible for all the plexiglass - door windows, vents and the rear window with the correct yellow tinted material.
A one off replica of the #30 906 long tail has been built and is featured in the film, "Ford V Ferrari" starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale. ACW provided plexiglass for the 906 as shown in the film.
