I wish I could say it's in my garage since it has my name on it. ;)
I hear the car (that was reportedly the same) was recently sold after spending a very long time in the Las Vegas area....
I would LOVE to see Tony drive this car in vintage events some day...
Cheers,
BTW - Bob, any relation to Mac ???
Clearly not in a barn:

Apparently it was 912 chassis...
Was restored by Craig Stevenson, formerly of Huntington Beach (or Costa Mesa - I can never remember) and now of Las Vegas.
I saw this car at an event in vegas a couple of years ago - it wasn't running quite right, but a sweet car all the same.:cool:
cheers

What a fantastic site! I could spend hours. This is the same site, just with good thumbnails to help navigate http://www.a2zracer.com/page2.html
No relation to Mac Tilton, Robert Tilton (TV Evangelist) or that blond from the TV show Dallas. Tilton isn't a very common name so it's interesting to see it on an early Porsche. I know there are a lot of Tiltons in Maine (dad's homestate) and at least one in Vietnam (mom's home country).Quote:

I purchased the Milestone Racing Porsche a short while back, So to answer the original question it is on Long Island.
Don
Did you buy it from Craig or other party?? What are your plans for the car??
Congrats Don.....
If it ever was tobe, it would be wonderful to see Tony driving it just one more time... ;)
Cheers,
Plans are to finish up some details that need to be done. It would be great to see him drive the car again. Maybe Rennsport 3? Who knows. Will update my site soon with pictures.
Don
Keep it up Don, and we're going to start accusing you of hoarding!! :D
Really? when did you buy it?
Trans Am, Ring me and we will talk. 631 786 6511

The Milestone Racing 911 is now up for sale. Please see my site for pictures http://www.Porsport.com More pictures to be posted shortly or I can e mail to interested parties. I do not have Tony's contact information but it would be great if he could get the car. Thanks.
Best,
Don
Hello Everyone –
I would like to make some clarification on an issue that should have been publicly addressed sooner.
In 2004 I was involved in a project that was to bring back what I had hoped and believed to be my old No. 7 Trans-Am car. The chassis that was found had many earmarks that were similar to my recollection of the original car yet none of its original race components were present, not even the welded-in roll cage. This car appeared to be placed back into normal life as a street car. Unfortunately, there was no way to verify its authenticity since there wasn’t any apparent paper trail to the original Milestone Racing chassis. When the project was initiated ( I did not commission its inception ) my position was that it progress in a manner that would be “in the spirit of the original car” and thus provide a platform for my introduction to vintage racing. Near the completion of the project, the results of the end product seemed to slip from my control and differ from my own opinions. Aside from the paint job, the finished product was very disappointing to me. Despite my best efforts, the work performed and components installed simply were not to the specifications or spirit of the original car.
After a dismal appearance at Coronado in 2004, I had to divorce myself from the project. The end result and preparation of the car was extremely disappointing, regrettably I never made public my separation of that project car, I had since hoped that it would disappear, much the way the original car did. The Panorama article that was tied to this car was unfortunately already in print before I or the folks at Panorama could make any corrections. The unusual return of this car, was at best serendipity in the article.
It has been brought to my attention that this car is currently being advertised on e-Bay, AutoWeek and possibly other media not known to me, therefore I must now make known that I Do Not Endorse its authenticity. On that note, I was quite surprised to hear that the car had been sold and represented as original. The previous owner knew I would not support such a claim. I expected that any potential buyer would have contacted me in the course of their due diligence; however no one has ever contacted me since that fateful and embarrassing Coronado appearance.
I’m sure some rumors have been stirring about as to Mac Tilton, Don Breslauer and myself, all the original crew of Milestone Racing, who have been involved in entirely new project that will culminate what I had hoped the now-advertised car would have done. Under the direction of Marc Zurlinden, project engineer and everyone involved who have been working diligently to recreate the ole No. 7 car to debut early in the 2007 vintage racing season. Of course, this project in no way represents itself to be the restored original car but it will be authentic in everyway with the endless list of unique modifications that were made to the original are incorporated here, including the use of a 68- 912 chassis as its basis.
I hope this clears some of the mystery for all those kind enough to follow the stories. I thank everyone for their continued support and invite you to follow the construction progress of our “continuation U-2-7 car” through its completion on Laprecord.com.
Sincerely,
Tony a2z

Oh boy.........................
Boy, I knew this was going to happen... :rolleyes:
And boy I know how this board loves to jump on particularly 'hot' topics that may directly effect our community... and good for us
BUT... This is what I'd like to do ... and please help me
Most of us know the principals of this controversy and they are both upstanding and ethical gentleman in both our small world of early 911's and of the greater worldwide auto collecting and motorsport community...
Saying that, I propose ALL communication on this topic go directly to Tony A. and or Don A. and keep the 'laundry' in the hamper and not in the fresh air of this message board.... At least for now...
Tony a2z a2zracer@usa.com
Don A. http://www.porsport.com
When the dust settles ... we should and will discuss it further
Your moderator,
This thread should be locked up, or taken offline...hopefully someone (who is intimately involved in this whole story...) will step forward at the right time...and share a good story with us.
Draw the blinds...please.
cheers

All,
I am beyond shocked and surprised on this. Let the PANORAMA article speak for itself. I find in very dissapointing that there is some backpeddling taking place here. THIS IS THE CAR. I have alot of correspondence to back it up.. thanks guys.
Best,
Don
Chuck, do the honorable thing and lock down all conversations on this one. I'm feeling this doesn't have to be taken any further here at this time or there's gonna be some really bad air floating around...and we all don't need that right now. Merry Christmas all. ;)
