WOW, Denver Porsches galore

WOW, Porsches galore, I should get out more.

I took K’s Land Cruiser over to Burt Toyota this morning at about 7:15, returning home about 9:30. In 15 minutes each way I saw more than 33 Porsches. I lost count. Rout was Colorado Blvd, Hampden, University, Belleview, Broadway.

A new yellow Carrera GT following an identical color early ‘90s Corvette.
6+ Boxters.
19+ 911s including:
A ’66-’67 Irish green coupe with 4 1/2 chrome wheels.
Three+ ’69-73 911s, one Aubergine!
An RSR appearing 911, possible centerlocks?
Lots of 2.7s, SC, Carrera, 964, 993, and 996. I lost count.
A 356A Cabriolet.
A ’59 D-Roadster, Champagne yellow.
Two 356B coupes.
A 356C coupe
A 356C cab
AND
A 914-6, blue with subtle flares turning 5000 in traffic!

With this extreme number, I’m sure I missed all the Cayennes and more.


There was a time when I knew 95% of the Colorado registered Porsches – no longer.

If you were one of these cars, feel free to e-mail me.

Best,
Grady

Wasn't me! I spent a lot of time in Denver and rarely saw a 911. Maybe they're heading to the Porsche parade in TX. Isn't that coming up?

Grady, the porsche gods were smiling upon you. I don't see that kind of thing! I haven't seen a CGT in Denver, and I see 356s pretty rarely (Except at George Maybee's!)

Naw Jim, they were heading to the 2004 SCWDP Rainforest round up !
When I bought my SC in Colorado, all I saw was a couple boxsters and a 993 cab.

that's like porn w/o the pictures....

Regardless, that must have been quite a sight. Glad you could enjoy it for the rest of us
(thanks for a good effort to describe the cars, though. They must have really etched themselves on your retinae to be able to recall that much. That would have made my day too!)

I don't see that many in SoCal except for Boxsters and the ususal one or 2 996's. When I see an early or mid year car, I sit up and notice. Hardly ever see 964s and never 993s.

Of course, I operate out of Long Beach. This ain't no Newport.

Jerry, I saw your car at George Maybee's Gmund event. It looked great! I didn't get a chance to track you down as I think you arrived early and left a bit early and I arrived late and left a bit late.

Grady, do you remember seeing this one? I was driving East on Belleview from Broadway to I-25 between 7 and 8 am. I remember seeing several other Porsches but not as many as you did!
