Big Red Keychain... where to get one?

Rick Lee · Rick Lee's Garage

Where can I buy more of these Big Red keychains? I got this one at the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen. I emailed them to see if I could order more for gifts and they said no. Can I get these in the US? Thanks.

This is made by AutoArt, and we have them on our site:

Close, but no cigar. I don't want AutoArt painted on there -- Porsche is what it's supposed to be.

Boy Wayne, look at the ridge on that thing.

It needs to be turned, and it might be under spec!

Smells like one of those trademark issues to me...

I have two on order from Performance Products. They are back ordered and will be in later this week, according to my "order status" email.

I don't know if they are the AutoArt or Porsche pieces, though...

Whoa thats cool I want one.

I believe the ones from Performance Products are the AutoArt ones as well. At least thats what i remember seeing in the advertisement they had. Anyone have one of those coilover/pen keychains? They look pretty cool as well.

Guilty here - I have both and they are both autoart pieces. The coilover keychain is kinda big, but it unscrews and has a small ball point pen. I'm a sucker for a 20% off sale...

Hey Richard -
I just noticed these keychains on eBay. The seller says they came from the factory in Germany...

How much was your when you got it? (I'm assuming not quite $100)

The key fob I use for my '72? A '72 Porsche calendar coin. Trivia ? with no prize? What's on the face of the coin? Man...talk about getting esoteric!

WTF?
100 bucks??

$5.99

pwd72s · 02-22-2002, 06:48 PM

Doug? You must not get it! You see, a $100 key chain fob fits right in with a $400 carbon fiber gearshift knob. Combined, they add at least 30 horsepower....and fit right in with any late 80's Turbo....or Turbo look...or boxter, or...

Actually, it cost around $5 at the factory museum. The guy from eBay is insane, but not as insane as anyone who pay that much for it. I just want a few to give as gifts to a few Pelican heads who have sent me free stuff. The factory museum won't ship them and I didn't know they were unavailable in the US when I was as the factory last month. Otherwise, I would have loaded up on them. That eBay price is just mind-boggling. I have friends in Germany who drive to Stuttgart for me for much less than that much.

I think I will make a full sized one! I believe it will cure my damn key losing problem.

Wow, the authentic one's look great! I would really like to pick up a couple of those for myself as well. If anyone has any leads on getting the rea Porsche one's, please post up and/or email me at: bluebomber86_911@yahoo.com
Thanks!

There are actually two bids on the on eBay keychain. Some people really have more dollars than sense. Looks like I should just buy another flight to Germany. Selling 5 or 6 of the keychains would pay for the trip.
