2020 Phoenix Show

Almost missed this

My car 's down with a bad case of geriatric tiritis, which could make for complications considering SoCal traffic +conditions . . . + how I deal with both. 'Sides --- kinda hard to not take a Porsche to a Porsche show. And the weather was looking a bit threatening, rain-wise . . .


. . . but, then/again --- isn't that what BMWs are for? . . .



. . . soooo --- I went


Had a schpritz-or-two coming in, but nothing that a fresh service, new brakes, and some focused driving couldn't handle




.

. . . $20 to park?


Looks like I'm late . . .



. . . again

'. . . The first car I went after was John Rice’s (john rice) '69 (VIN = 119300373), when it came up on eBay, in May of ‘08. (See post #290 on the eBay 911S sales thread.) I first found out about it on Pelican, describing some R-Gruppe icon that, for one reason or another, was being let out in public, located up the San Francisco Bay Area. The vehicle was already on eBay by the time I found out about it --- so I had to scramble. Looked like just my kind of car, too: tidy, but a little rough cosmetically, with a donked nose, and a rust bubble just starting on one of the front quarters, but with clean pans, fresh motor, vintage seats, vintage MOMO, ‘glass bumpers and black CA plates, without rocker or bumper trim, torsion bar covers, or even wheel caps ---- Jeez, I mean this car was just stripped down to its bike shorts. Basically, everything I wanted, all in one package. And in that condition, I wouldn’t even have to worry about washing it. Got my finances lined-up, then got in front of my PC. Auction ended on a Sunday evening, and I was just pumped . . . . I bid up to $55k . . . . and lost. (By a $100.) Not surprised, I guess. Wrote the winning Bidder but never heard back --- 'if you ever wanna sell,' etc. I’ll remember that car for a long time. . . .'

Funny I thought I know that car, but I was off by 100 as it is 1023

LongRanger: Cris' and my old '69 911S "The R Gruppe Icon"- I named it that because it was THE most well known of the early bunch but it's a stretch to call the the First R Gruppe car. Freeman's '69 was more exotic but not out that often. There were other interesting early cars when our band of misfits first gathered, just not as well known. That was an incredibly fun driving 911 and I hope the current form hasn't diminised the driving experience [Rodney Chew, Ernie Wilberg, me, (and perhaps a couple of others?) contributed to the end result. R.I.P. Cris.

Check-out those shut-lines

. . .

The so-called 'interim bumper' Pre-A. Coupla little bits missing --- but to see so much that's survived after all these years? . . . is pretty surreal

Note the bumper trim + shut-lines

The car I wanted to take home the most . . .




. . . and why I go to car shows
