I don't know why but absolutely love those outlaw 356's. Great pics.

Thanks,
Bernie

Karl, I live on the western slope but have not seen this collection and don't recognize the location.

Where, pray tell, is it?

Regards, g

Where is this museum? Is it open to the public? I'm from La Junta and go back to Colorado occassionally to visit friends and family. I'd really like to visit there with my cousin who lives in CoSprings.

I would love to tell you, but part of the visit is that the owner requests privacy. All the cars are exercised 2x per month. With the exception of the race cars, they are tracked 2x per yr.

IF ANY OTHER PELICANS RECOGNIZE THIS COLLECTION OR LOCATION, PLEASE RESPECT THE OWNER'S PRIVACY

Not trying to be a butt head, just respecting his wishes.

I had heard of this collection for years, never imagined that I would be able to see it.

It's not a museum. "Just" a private collection. I don't know the owner personally, the invite came through a gentleman in the 356 club. Viewings are not normal, for obvious reasons. That's why I never thought I'd have the opportunity to see this collection.

Sometimes you just get lucky. I asked for, and received permission to post these pictures.

Guys,

It is ‘just’ a private collection.

I have ridden in and driven some of these cars and they are the ‘real deal’ as originally raced.

There are pictures of the cars ‘on track’ and other in other threads.

PLEASE, let’s respect the owner’s confidentiality.

Best,
Grady

Wow!! that is a wonderfully diverse and interesting collection covers a lot of bases in the Porsche lineup.. Fabulous room. It does look to be put together by a knowledgeable Porsche lover. Thanks for sharing. And thanks to the owner for having folks in to enjoy his beauties with him.
More pics would be great.

Cheers Richard

I somehow thought we would hear from Grady about this collection in his area.

Oh, I just read that it's a private collection.

Nice collection of Porsches.

The 356s and the 959 are pretty intriguing for me.
