[daepp]

This first group is from the Auto Kennel in Costa Mesa. The hosted an open house with pizza a beer (thanks guys) and quite a few Porschephiles filtered in and out.


Great looking and sounding car




Lots a great looking BMW's were in their shops


I was told this was Oslo Blue - whatever it was it's an awesome color - and it sounded great too!


One-owner Type 34 Ghia - my personal favorite






That's a real 4 cam - wow!

Prius Limo?


Ruf Turbo




That thing sounded awesome! What a growl...

This was parked out front. a 3,000 mile very special 993. Not quite sure what it was, but I think it carried a VIP to the show...one who told me he does not lurk herein. I always wondered tho...

Hot rear ends...

Original owner car






Mid-Life Crisis?


"Famous" rear end with the "Excellent" GT badge of approval


2.7 Andial Twin Plug


IIRC that green one is a 155hp twin plug 912!


Never saw that badge before.


Nicely done!

Isn't that a 964 T flatnose (the black one a post above)? Those are rare and very pricey.

The inevitable (but very cool) Porsche Diesel


They don't make them like that anymore!


This car defines the word patina... I'd love to know the story but never saw the owner. Wheels were new and VERY cool


The crossroads of my dreams!

[daepp]

I sure thought is was a 993 but I couldn't say for sure.

I'd say its a 1994 911 Flachbau (Turbo S). The 964 wide body based cars posses a couple of difference, but the easiest to spot is the lower quarter extension.

I belive they only made about 76 of these cars worldwide. They are pretty spendy.

Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 S

At the end of 964 production in 1994 the Porsche factory had some 90 Turbo chassis left. These were all transferred to Porsche Exclusiv and built as the very special Turbo 3.6S. The Turbo 3.6S was available either with the traditional 964 Turbo 3.6 body, or with the exclusive Flatnose (German: Flachbau) aka Slantnose option.

Option X83 (Japan), X84 (ROW) and X85 (USA), the Turbo S Flatnose, was available in the U.S.A. as a $60,179 USD option on top of the base price $99,000 USD Turbo 3.6. The "Flatnose" option was available when ordering the no charge '36S' option '1994 Turbo "S" Model'. In addition to the Flatnose fenders, it also included the 'X88' option or the 'Turbo S' motor, the 'X92' Exclusive front spoiler, 'X93' Exclusive rear spoiler and 'X99' Exclusive rear fender vents. The flatnose option was designed around the model 968 front end for the ROW and USA versions and the 930 style Turbo S front end for Japan (right down to the sill covers on the fenders). 39 Models were made for US markets, 27 for the Rest of the world, and 10 for Japan all in Polar Silver.

Great photos

Does anyone have any photos of the literature swap meet too?

[daepp]

I only took one of you-know-who. It was just two big ballrooms of tables filled to the brim. Very cool to attend - not so much to photograph.
