My son entered his 944 in the Newport Audrain concours in Ri. He entered the 30 under 30 class and won. The wife and I are proud of him.

G'day!
|
Congrats to your son..........and his parents!
 Would love to hear some backstory on the car's purchase and ownership and any pertinent events leading up to the show and 1st Place honors. The car looks beautiful - so wouldn't mind seeing some more glamour shots of it as well. The 944 has always intrigued me although I've never owned one myself. TIA and for sharing this cool story!

That's a sharp looking 83. I had the same car/year/color, but it wasn't nearly as nice as your son's.
The Jay factor is also cool! Nice work!

Here is a couple of pictures of him driving it up for the trophy. He has had the car for about 9 years got it when he was a sophomore in high school.

That’s great! Was it as nice as it looks here since he got it, or does he have some sweat equity in it?
PS- I would remove the front license plate. It’s worth the ticket every 5 years or so. No car designer ever seems to have planned for a US- sized plate.

Love that MI doesn't require a front plate....they really screw up the front of a car's looks.

Very cool... thanks for sharing.
What does the "30 under 30" refer to?

30 under 30 is you have to be under 30 years old and the car has to have under 30 thousand invested. He only is in the car for about six thousand.
