The execution
The open Can-Am car of 1969 — “PA” for Porsche+Audi, the US importer. Siffert drove it to fourth in the championship; its raised tail helped point the way to the K.
Two built: 027 stayed a works test hack and later carried the experimental 16-cylinder engine in a lengthened frame; 028 raced the 1969 Can-Am season with Jo Siffert, best result third at Bridgehampton. Neither has ever crossed a public auction block.
