Porsche is also well represented. They have now kind of taken over a hall as a corporate presentation, so VW, Audi, Skoda, Bentley, Porsche etc. The lions share is the presentation of vintage VW's, including a Vintage type 2 VW bus that is a Becks Beerwagon that they are serving from... (there's beer everywhere....). Porsche classic has a good size booth with about 5 cars spread out on display, including an RS done by the factory shop and then a 64 901 that is in bare metal on a rolling stand.

As far as Porsche's represented here, it's pretty strong with a couple of specialists like Manfred Heerman(?) with "Early 911S" and he's got Frank Gallogly's old green African rally car, a 73RSR, a couple of RS's, a 67S, 68S on a dolly, plus others. Porsche's are all throughout the buildings for sale at various vintage car sellers. As I mentioned before a real spike in pricing on G series and later cars (74+ though the 964's). These cars are also the most represented in the quantities shown here, with longhoods not as prevalent as the later cars imho. There's a couple of guys selling Porsche parts, but there's not too much of an offering, certainly nothing like the LA lit meet/Swap meet that many of use are used to. So, to me, it's no wonder that there are guys coming over from Europe and elsewhere to "our" shows (California in particular).

I only took a handful of pictures but have a similar eye

What's the story on the fender cut-out on the slate gray 911?

Anyone knows the VIN off the 901 at the Porsche stand?
