The garage is my man cave. Some sort of recession shelter, once inside I'm immersed with the things I love, it's really wonderful. I listen to music, watch a movie, polish a car, clean an engine, sort the brochures, and just relax!

I found it in a Carrera 3.2 MY 1984 and there's still some liquid inside!!:)
Lots of great, and frankly, unbelievably mind-boggling stuff in this thread but in my book, Thomas, you are the undisputed king of Porsche Automobilia.
I could easily spend 3 days exploring your house.:D
You're most welcome to stop by and visit if you come to Geneva. Some collectors are more discreet but have fantastic stuff, in quality and volume, much more than what you see here.
Each time I go to a Memorabilia auction, I run into the same group of collectors and they're pretty active....In the 356 community, they are many owners who collect automobilia as well even Porsche tractors...
I would love to visit Jerry Seinfeld's collection, I'm sure he has some crazy automobilia as I often hear dealers referring to him. It would be great to organize some tour during the Lit. & Toy show in LA. I wonder if he would be willing to show his collection to members of a forum like the registry....

Back in the mid to late 50s and up through 1969 the two Porsche Dealers in San Diego were San Diego Motor Imports and Truman Motors. Both of these dealers started out as VW dealers. These frames are hard to find at this point as new dealers took over in San Diego from that time on.
I just completed the restoration on the Truman Motors frame.

John- Great job on the Truman frame. They are very hard to
find, it seems. My 912 was purchased there in Feb '68 by the
oringinal owner.
presented to the factory by SCCA.
Nice plaque...
In '76 I know Follmer won in the 934 Turbo...
I think it would be interesting to find out who won in the RSR, 914/6, and 911S
Cheers
I'm really impressed, well...astonished, by the pics and information in this thread.
