    FS: @blackhawk - 911R #20

    http://www.blackhawkcollection.com/i...&tab=inventory

    Looks like this car never will come to a rest with a owner who wants it. It`s been advertised so many times during the last 4-5 years. Wonder what asking price is...

    Tor's right,

    The first time I saw this car was when it left the museum in Japan and showed up at the Blackhawk auction tent at the Concorso at the Quail Lodge in Carmel about 5 (?) years ago… in pretty rough condition.

    The last time was just last August at Concorso again at the Blackhorse Country Club… again at the Blackhawk tent, and the condition improved a bit.

    The history on the site is interesting… I haven't read it before.

    Thanks,
    Chuck Miller

    I could care less about the condition as long as it's in one piece and everything is there. I believe the price was $250K or was it double that?

    Matsuda Collection

    This car was in the collection/ museum of Yoshio Matsuda in the town of Gotemba, just outside of Tokyo, in the mountains close to Fuji, as I recall.
    A good friend discovered this gentleman and his fabulous collection of unrestored vintage street & racing cars in the mid 80's. We visited the museum a few times in that era and were always thrilled by the patina of all the cars in his large collection.
    He not only had a museum full of 356, 906, 908, 910, 904, 550, RS, 934, 935, 959, etc; he had a second museum filled with Italian racing cars including many vintage Ferraris, Bugattis, Alfas, as well as many other European cars of interest.
    Yoshio Matsuda passed away in the mid 90's and his collection was liquidated as part of the estate. Don't think any of his heirs were particularly interested in the cars, sadly.
    I am sure there are a few more of his Porsches floating around. I hyave the museum catalogs, if anyone needs background information on this or other of his cars..

    There ain't a whole lot I wouldn't do to have that car in my garage! (sic).

    I suggest a communal 911S Registry buy. If we all dig into those dusty parts boxes undoubtedly stored in the back of our garages... sell $1K worth of rusty parts on ebay ($2k for Lisa due to exchange rate and her admitted mega stash), we'd have $250K in no time! I nominate Chuck as our representative - and ME as caretaker!

    Case replaced with a mag case?

    I thought R's had an aluminum case. Were they mag?

    If I'm not mistaken I think this ccar was originally ordered by Lance Reventlow and painted Scarab Blue. If so, that would make it an amazing car if restored to that colour with that history.
    Cheers,
