John W Dean III Counsel to President Richard Nixon at the wheel of a 911 Targa around the time of Watergate scandal


Licence plate is visible in the following:





Images aren’t great as stills taken from TV screen images whilst watching a BBC documentary programme about how Dean was proven correct based on tapes about his recollection of the conversation with the President.

There is a reasonable amount of coverage in the documentary is with Dean in the car around 1973. I only took a few snaps from screen from the moving images. Wonder if car is still around?

John Deans car is still around the Washington Metro area. It is currently painted Olympic Blue (914 color) and was flared with RS flares.

Anyone know any more about the John Lennon 911? Did he own it? Thanks!

Hmm. This suggests it's actually a 912. https://tork.buzz/classics/John-Lenn...0816-0003.html

This suggests he bought it for his wife, and she thought it was too fast! So he got her a Beetle instead.

“Then one day John came in very excited, made me cover my eyes and led me outside. Standing on the drive was a gold Porsche for me. A few weeks later I got up to find the Porsche gone and in its place a red Ferrari. Now that he, too, was able to drive, John had part-exchanged my car for one for himself. Generous as he was, this impulsive act was typically thoughtless: he hadn’t stopped to consider whether I might mind, just rushed ahead. Once he’d taken a decision everyone and everything had to fall into line with it. He had little time for negotiation, considering or planning, preferring to act on impulse and hang the consequences” https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/121...xcited-made-me

"When she passed her driving test Lennon bought her a white Mini car, and then a gold Porsche. One day she found a red Ferrari in place of the Mini, as Lennon had traded the Mini in for the Ferrari (which was for himself as he had recently passed his driving test) without telling her. Lennon later bought her a green Volkswagen Beetle." https://beatles.fandom.com/wiki/Cynthia_Lennon

Rather gruesome … August 9 1969 … it was a long time ago.

Location 10050 Cielo Drive LA at the Polanski residence. Body being recovered is one of the five victims that included Sharon Tate and an Abigail Folgers, coffee heiress.

There is a 911 in the background. Image snapped from tv screen of old film footage so explains why it’s not clear — appeared in a Netflix documentary Chaos.

Looks to be black coupe on Fuchs with side marker on rear? It could belong to one of the responders but perhaps more likely type of vehicle owned by a Bel-Air resident?

Ironically in the movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) drove a black 911....in the movie, she lived. I think in real life she had a 275 GTB?
