I am pretty sure it will be in or around Glendora CA however if booking a hotel make sure the cancellation policy allows time to make a change.

I am pretty sure it will be in or around Glendora CA however if booking a hotel make sure the cancellation policy allows time to make a change.
so glad it is back local!
I would love to see Luft 8 in ROW DTLA. Plenty of parking and such a cool place to display cars take photos.

Hoping to drive my barn(garage) find to this !
@ Il Pirata - I used to live in Glendora....what spot were you thinking it might be held at?
If it is in Glendora I assume it would be downtown like the big Flashback Classic car show.
well, within minutes of getting the email for tickets i was adding them to my cart and got an error message. went back out to try again and got the message that the event had sold out :( wow - literally within minutes.
update - i tried a couple more times and was able to get tickets! site must have been overloaded! woohoo!
Event Location: 112 E 22nd Street, San Pedro CA 90731

Same as Luft 4. What a bummer, that was the worst location of them all.
It will be a $100 day with parking and eats to look at cars. $200 to show your car. getting steep
We have 1 early entry ticket available, at face value $117 (they charge some ‘Advance booking fee’).
Anyone interested can PM.
PM sentQuote:

Hey Chris are you trailering the car out? We are trailering the 993 from Louisville leaving October 6th with a stop in St. George that night if you wanted to caravan. We cruise at 75 on the flats, slower on the hills.
I’ll PM my phone number.
I would like to purchase 1 more ticket if anyone has an extra or cannot make it let me know.
Thanks,
Philip
71 Irish Green 2.8L car I built will be on display. Let me know how it looks.

SOLD. I now have 2 extra tickets. Early entry. Asking my cost, $117 each. As I got these through another person no t-shirts included.
Speaking of T-shirts, has anyone gotten theirs yet?

I may be interested in this. I have a regular admission ticket that I want to sell in place of getting an early admission ticket for my passenger.
A small piece of the 1970 LM24 hr. will make it's reveal, after many moons of being a recluse. Make sure not to miss #40 Sonauto at Lüft 8.
Saturday morning maybe 5 AM ish I'll leave Carpinteria and head toward South Bay to check out where I grew up and probably spend a little some time in Costa Mesa. That afternoon sometime I'll head to the Long Beach Marriott where I'll spend the night before LUF8. If any of you are gathering somewhere in the area on Saturday, I'd like to attend.
All cleaned up and ready for a 2500 mile road trip. 1100 miles later there a lot of dead bugs to clean up.
PM me and give me a way to text or call if any of that works for you.
Thanks everyone.
DM me if you have a spare ticket. Thx!
Looking for a spare ticket for a buddy that came into town.
Thanks,

Location was not great... felt like a huge Cars and Coffee (most of the show just in a poorly paved parking lot). But it was great to meet a lot of enthusiasts and see some old friends.

Thanks for sharing !!
Since I'm crazy nuts for '73 RS's (and RSR's), this was the one I was drooling over. I've had a poster of this car since college, dragging it around for the last 50 years, now on the wall in my garage (last image).

Is that the real deal or a (very, very good) replica?
Because the '59' I have seen in the past had the racing FT3 fuel cell with the two openings in the hood - like the car in the poster.
regardless though, it's an awesome car!

Hard to say without confirming the chassis number, 9113600328, as the winning vehicle. In their active racing career, these cars probably saw many alterations from race to race, so at what point would be the baseline for an 'accurate' restoration?Quote:

My assumptions on the Brumo's RSR......
I believe the car displayed is owned by Bruce Meyer's... and most likely restored by Bruce Canepa.
I also believe Brumo's bought 3 factory RSR's for the '73 session.... I trust this is one of the 3.... And most likely not the '73 Daytona winner... :)
Again, my assumptions... ;)

It would be nice if Luft had some small info cards about the cars.
. . . 'jus' cars'
.............................
That's chassis 0727 - Peter Gregg's winning TransAm car. Has been in France for the last 10 years and was for sale for a while. May have changed hands and gone States side.Quote:

The car (0727) was in France for years, and is the one of the three that stayed with the team in the U.S. through the '73, and was the TransAm and IMSA champion for the season...
The Brumo's Daytona car went back to the factory, and the light yellow Brumo's Sebring car changed hands...

Brumos apparently had multiple RSRs racing in 1973 in white/blue/red (backed up by Armando's Pbase registry):
911.360.0328/Prototype R4 (#59) - Won the big race at Daytona (Gregg & Haywood), went back to the factory after, apparently raced as a Martini car after.
911.360.0727 (#59) - The one displayed at Luft8 - was in France for years, and is the one of the three that stayed with the team in the U.S. through '73, and was the TransAm and IMSA champion for the season.
911.360.0686/Prototype R7 ?? Seems to have started as a ex works Martini liveried (until June) but is listed as racing at Watkins Glenn (July) under #58, then sold to Rebaque.
911.360.0865 - ordered by Brumos but immediately sold to Rebaque (Mexico)
911.360.0997 Raced with #95 at Road America then a few other races for Brumos under #95 and #97.
Sorry, very off-topic. anyway, back to the Luft8 pictures....

Some kinda 'T' rod?. Right-side antenna! . . . = power, maybe?
Gives some sense of the ambiance
Interesting little buggy. Dressed almost like an RS Clubsport --- not sure, really . . . but fitted with what looked like a sequential shift! 'Pologize for the sh!tty pic. Really wish folks had left their windows down
911 w/ mid-'70s 'Safety Stripes' . . . note the seat inserts. Reminded me of 'pasha,' but . . .

. . . razzle-dazzle-schmazzle
I swear --- is it me or does it seem like these same cars that show-up at every Luft?
..............................
. . . more schmazzle
......................
. . . some 'royalty'
RS61 --- seen a coupla issues back, in Pano. 'Street-driven' --- allegedly . . . which will last right up 'till ya get that first big fat bug in your face --- at 75 . . .
. . . not-to-mention a monthly insurance premium that spends like a mortgage payment
K . . . call me bitter
Old School Turbo Carrera 3-litre. Ice green + no pass-side outer rear-view --- w/stripes . . . ala plaid

Ducktail schpoiler?

Horsey decal --- properly-placed?

Wonder if the 'numbers' match
Noyce shews!
.....................
. . . hmmm
Replican't?
Well --- whatever it is . . .
. . . looks better dirty?
.......................
Thanks again for the great pics. Love the “Made in Jacksonville” sticker. And those shoes ……. good eye !! Look forward to East Coast Luft ….
I met the guy with the Dakar Rothmans replica. I passed him on the freeway from San Diego headed north the week before Luft. The car was dirty - looked cool cruising up the 5 freeway amongst all the modern cars on the road. I grabbed him at Luft to talk to him - he told me he was headed back up from Mexico - he was driving in a Baja Rally. So that dirt is from real competition - Really cool when these cars are actually driven as intended.

Cars w/tails

934, yes?
Still has regular fenders, bumpers, lights + signals, so . . .
Insufficient tireage in the rears, looks like. And alu cage = no-no-racey

Rolling on 13s (Ti?), too, looks like
And over half-a-century old, now

. . . kinda surprised to see something like this:

Expecting to see more o' this
Hey --- I mean Luft charges cars to show, then charges an audience to see the cars they charged to show . . .

. . . Carreras up the ka-zoo
Including a couple-three M491s + even a few M471s (?)
.............................
. . . one more Carrera . . .
. . . I think
.................
. . . and now for something completely different!
For Pike's Peak, I'd imagine . . .
. . . either that --- or this is one hell of a sand rail
This what happens when people have a liiiiittle too much time, some extra-spendable . . . and a twin turbo 3-liter laying around
!
Canapated
Seriously? --- center-locks?

. . . 914/6s
..............................
. . . I'm gonna guess air-con (?)
Like how it looks like that flexible tube-thingy can 'extend'

. . . 'dimpled' center of a GT wheel on a 904
To take a hub-cap, maybe?
Steel center + alu rim --- riveted together
Rim here looks pretty-well beat --- but . . .
. . . try to find another!
.........................
. . . cars parked outside . . .
. . . that IMO belonged inside
Bent-window pre-A 1500 (roller bearing, again?) and an 'A' Carrera
These are exactly the kindza cars I drive all over creation to pay money to see, and --- here they are . . .
. . . parked out in no-man's land
'Curated,' huh? Don't get it
Maybe if they had wings + flairs?
