Home-brewed, fiberglass-bodied sports racers were prolific throughout the 1950s and 1960s, though many have been lost to history. This unique Sabel-Porsche Mk1 Prototype, however, has managed to survive.

Designed and built by John Sabel (hence the Porsche-Sabel name), the Mk1 combines a VW floorplan with the suspension, engine and transmission from a Porsche 356.

In total, only about 30 were ever made, with this one being the very first example produced. A year after construction was finished, the car would go on to make its competition debut at the 1964 Hershey Hill Climb.

Find this 1961 Porsche Sable for sale from Hagerty Marketplace for $400,000.
