As verified by the Porsche factory Kardex and the Reutter build sheet, chassis #13052 was ordered in January of 1960 by Ludwig Blendl through the Mahag Porsche dealership in Munich, Germany specifically for racing with most of the Carrera GT options.  Blendl was an accomplished Porsche race car driver having previously raced a Carrera GT Speedster and an Abarth Carrera and had a race repair shop.  He raced this car at the Nurburing, AVUS, Spa, Norisring and numerous other venues.

In 1964, an American officer named Gary Walker purchased the car while he was stationed in Germany. In 1965, he sent it to the Porsche factory for major service work. Upon his return to the States, Walker had the car serviced by Jacques LeFriant at Scott's Porsche in San Diego, California. In 1991, the car was purchased from Walker by Tokio Yoshida, then completely restored to original specifications by 356 specialist Bill Perrone. After restoration the car was sent to Japan where it remained until 2008. When it returned to the U.S. in 2008 it had been driven only 995 kilometers and still looked as restored. Mid-2009 it was professionally and thoroughly checked and detailed by Bill Perrone and Jim Ansite with freshened engine by Jacques LeFriant.
