Anyone go to the Huntington Beach Concourse?

If you have pictures, please post

[Matt_C]

I was able to go for a couple of hours. It was larger than I expected, a lot more cars, and a lot of variety. Loved the Ferrari Dino's! I have some pics at home that I'll post later.

I went and was surprised to see all the other car brands there, I thought this was a Porsche only event. I saw a gt-40, enzo, and some other *boing* kind of rides.

In celebration of the 40 years of the 911 they had one porsche car from each year entered in the concourse.

I almost soiled my pants when I found the 1983 SC. It was the same exact car as mine. Same color (pueter zinc), same options, same build date. The only difference was the concourse car had 22k miles, perfect paint, and was an unrestored marvel.

Here it is:



The owner bought the SC one year ago, anyone wanna guess how much he paid. You'll never believe it...

89 Speedster, I want one of these one day, this car also had the Pueter zinc paint:



Will Sanchez of LBC owns this '58 (i think) 356, took him four years to restore and is absolutely perfect. An amazing attention to detail and a wonderful rare color:






Did anyone happen to see the dog incident?

This dog tied to one of those folding metal chairs went absolutely aggro nuts....with the chair attached to him. Fido was running around with the chair swinging 6 feet behind him through the concourse, people diving at him, coming within feet of slapping a car with the chair. Well someone got him, no damage, but $hit it was intense. I think I lost a year of my life seeing that happen.

Great show, can't wait for next year.

EDIT: Goshdarnit my camera is terrible, I apologize.

[KobaltBlau]

ok, I give ... how much did he pay?

is your camera a digital and it, er, screws up colors that much?

[GrindingGears]

-Yea digi, I think it was $85 when digis first came out. The cameras on phones are probably better than my POS camera. Ahhhh, it does the job I need it to do so...yeah.

-I'll PM you.

The show was great. 150 Porsche showed up and where on display for everyone to look at including a 901 (2nd one built) from the Peterson Museum. That dog was the wildest thing I have seen in a long time I Don’t know how that chair didn’t hit a car.

edited at grindinggears' request ... PM grindinggears if you want the price of that low mi 83. Let's just say the guy got a great deal.

[Eugene at Pelican Parts]

My camera's just as bad!

[GrindingGears]

that enzo ferrari...drool... the color was much more wicked in person...like an metallic orange w/flakes...wood....an engineering masterpiece...

Cool pics. Thanks.

Best show I have been to in a long, long time. Made the German Autofest look ordinary. I went around the thing 3 times and still didn't see much of some of the cars. My favorite was the SWB 250 GT Ferrari. What's that now, a million?

I've got a bunch coming tonite...

Don't think I'm being an a$$, but why not just post what the guy paid here? It's a beautiful car, the price is really just a gee whiz fact, but I'd like to know, and I'm not sure what the differences is between 15 people pming you, or just looking at this thread for the same answer. Please don't flame me guys, I'm just missing the point and am willing to learn.

If that dog came near my car...well...you know.

Here are some of my pics from the show.....

[FLAT6FAN]

So how much did the guy pay for the 911 SC?

Matt_C:

Dino Ferraris are the very definition of sports car styling in my mind. I have absolutely loved Dinos from the time I first took an interest in cars. Bravo Ferrari!

Thank goodness I cannot afford to buy one. I am afraid I would spend all my time staring at it, drooling if I could. That would rule out ever going to work and earning money.

I can't complain too much though, becuase I am pretty sure my Carrera 3.2 is as much or more fun to drive and I still catch my self glancing back admiring how mean it looks every time I park it.

Lol, no one has PMed yet and I felt stupid for posting it all over the net. Whats the difference between posting here and sending a PM? hah, I don't know. Wuuuutever

Nice pics Matt, Minkoff's race car was really something huh? I think I spent 30 minutes taking notes on it...

Agreed.

I had never really looked them over much before yesterday, but I was really impressed.
