Cat's outta the bag—would love to see longhoods in unusual colors (which is just about all of the colors all these years later).
Those interested can register here, and there are some additional items in the works for subscribers and S subscribers (keep an eye on your email) over the weekend as well as a display of special 914s at Rare Shades 4 itself since the "right" day just happened to be 9/14. Hope to see you there!
Just registered with a very special car. Not a longhood but something I just found that has been hidden away for many years. Can't wait.
Right on, and look forward to seeing you!Quote:

Just did a photo shoot for an upcoming feature in Panorama. Car has a ridiculous backstory. Should be out in the next couple issues.Quote:

Got your note, and will check into with the committee. Given the pic you sent me, a bit odd…as it's a very cool car!Quote:

Good to hear. I trust there was no pity, as it sounds like a special car. My not-so-pristine PTS Impact Bumper car was well received at the Rare Shades #3, so I trust your car will be as well. Really fun time. Laid back, and much more enjoyable than many of the Porsche get-togethers. Pete Stout is quite the host.
Be sure to post some pics.

Thank you. Was a shameless plug of my car, but I loved it the minute I saw it for the first time!
Scott
Ahhh. Loved this car. Thank you, again, for bringing it!Quote:

Just updated the information page re: Saturday's 914 50th display as well as the panelists—to include Alan Johnson, our own Glenn Stazak, and designer Hans Lapine (yes, the son of...). There will be a few more interesting characters in the front row with a mic, and I am hoping there will be time for Q&As. Some pretty cool cars coming, as well.
https://www.000magazine.com/4x4xs
Rare Shades 4 and the 914 display will be open to the public and free of charge, while the panel discussion will be open to 000 subscribers—and even then I am a bit worried about space. Hope to see many of you there, and there is still time to register your long-hood 911 in an original, period-cool color if you haven't already!
Anyone driving their cars, from San Diego or know anyone who is, to attend Rare Shades?
There's a group making arrangements over on 914world.com (which is free to join, and a sickness all its own...sort of like this site), and a certain ex-Le Mans driver is among them. I suspect they'd let a 911 join them? ;)Quote:

Would like to take one of my 914's but silver or bahia red won't make the cut!
If this event is done half as good as the magazine itself, it should be worth the drive!
Looking forward to meeting you—please come say hello!Quote:

All right, everyone. We're just about a week away, and want to extend an invitation to everyone here to join us on Saturday—attendance for Rare Shades 4 and the 914 display are free. If you've got a longhood (or something else?) in a cool color, we'd love to see you register it for the show, which is already shaping up to be the biggest Rare Shades so far...and there is still time to register.
The 914 50th display as well as the 914 panel are also coming along nicely...
First introduced in 1969, Porsche’s 914 has only recently begun to be truly appreciated. Please join us at the A+D Museum for a panel discussion moderated by Ray Shaffer from Porsche Classic. Panelists will include 914 racer/dealer Alan Johnson, 914 historian Glenn Stazak, automotive designer/vintage racer Hans Lapine, and 000 editor Pete Stout. Topics will include the 914’s design, engineering, motorsport success, and relevance 50 years later. A number of very special 914 and 914-6 road and race cars will take part in a 50th anniversary display, including—among others—a very early, one-owner 1970 914, the first production 914-6, the first “production” 914-6 GT, a selection of works 914-6 GTs, and a trio of important SCCA race cars from 1970, 1981, and 2005.
Hope to see some of you there!
looking Forward to it!
My car just arrived in Cali. Can't wait...

Loved seeing the new 2017-18-19's in Early 911 colors. Parked next to a Early 911, same color. Hope you do it again in So Cal soon. Hope my Olive Targa will be ready next time!
pics?? :-)
Pete, I want to second Ray's post.... GREAT event, very relaxing, wonderful turnout... and a time to catch up with old friends... All the sequenced colors were something to remember... ;)Quote:

So this was interesting... as least to me...
When I was placed in the 'blue row' the car they parked next to me was a newish 991 in an interesting metallic blue. I asked the owner what color it was, and he said to my surprise, that it was special order Early 911 'Gemini Blue'...
Now this is a color I'm very familiar with, with friends cars as well as explaining that my car is not that color !!!!
I guess to my eye, on that scale of a car, with that much metal to cover, and without the 'Early' 911 visual cues and highlights I'm used to … it looked like a completely different color..... :eek:
The longer I looked at it the more I realized that... Yep... it was Gemini Blue.... :o
Sorry for the early morning light pic...

Some long hood shots... :)
Because Rare Shades had kind'of'a handshake with Pete's 914 celebration, there was lots of very cool and significant 14's on display.... ;)
Examples of color lineups … Green to Blue.... ;)
Again, taken early in the morning.... :o
Thanks again for a GREAT event Pete...
Cheers,

Pete,
Heard it was a great event. Though I had registered and was accepted, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it. Thanks again for putting this on!
How about one in Seattle next year? Bill
Wow. Some amazing and interesting Green colorsQuote:

Is the orange long hood, Gulf orange?
Nope.... 'Signal Orange'Quote:

As far as Gemini Blue vs Blue Metallic...
I've been posting this pic for years...
My buddy Lars' Gemini hot rod in front of mine... ;)
Cheers,

It looks like Lars car has a bit of lavender in it, compare to yours which leans more on the metallic blue side ...Quote:

I have only one more shot of the signal orange car in front of a newish GT3...

Awesome event. Lots of eye candy and Pete's a great host. Remember, Pete. Austin is an easy drive from both Houston and Dallas!
My PTS metallic purple 911SC next to it's Signal Yellow sibling.

Great car and great owner. But signal yellow isn't PTS and there's at least one more out there that I know of (although not nearly as nice as this one).Quote:

But, you don't see them too often these days, even living in porsche central here in Socal.
Thanks, Scott. Very appreciative of Panorama featuring the car. Just sent a copy to the original owner. She's going to be thrilled.Quote:
