Was not me...

[pwd72s]

An earlier thread said some guy on a boxster board won it...

[donstevens]

Some fellow from the Northeast I think. they presented it to him at the Petite LeMans a week ago.

How cool would that be get invited to the Petite Lemans by PCNA and be presented with a key to your new club car...! That would be a weekend you would not soon forget,

Here's PCNA's Press Release:

PORSCHE CARS NORTH AMERICA ANNOUNCES 911 CLUB COUPE SWEEPSTAKES WINNERS
Porsche Club of America member from New York Wins Limited Edition, 381-hp 911 Club Coupe

ATLANTA, OCT. 5, 2005 --- Clif Rosenberry, a Porsche Club of America (PCA) member hailing from White Plains, N.Y., selected the lucky key that started the Porsche® 911® Club Coupe -- the 911 Club Coupe Sweepstakes grand prize -- at a drawing conducted this past weekend during the American Le Mans Series Petit Le Mans road race at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Ga. The car is just one of 50 special 911 Club Coupes created by Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) and Porsche AG to commemorate the PCA's 50th Anniversary.
Rosenberry, along with Michael J. Stafford of Lewisville, Texas, and Garrett Burch of Skippack, Pa., were runner-up prize winners, each receiving a four-day/three-night trip for two the Petit Le Mans race, including airfare, hotel accommodations, the use of a Porsche Cayenne®, VIP tickets and $300 in spending money. Although Stafford and Burch did not win the coveted 911 Club Coupe, they did not walk away empty handed; each received a complimentary two-day driving course at the Porsche Driving Experience, PCNA's official driving school held exclusively at the Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala.
The 911 Club Coupe, painted Azurro California metallic blue -- a modern interpretation of azure blue, a color made popular on Porsche 356 sports cars when the PCA was founded 50 years ago – has stainless steel doorsills with the 911 Club Coupe logo, a badge on the driver’s side door trim indicating its individual number in the series of 50 cars, and an X51 Powerkit that increases the 3.8-liter, flat-six cylinder Carrera S engine's output from 355 to 381 horsepower and peak torque from 295 to 306 ft. lbs.
Distinguished by its carbon fiber air cleaner housing, the X51 Powerkit boosts performance through a series of engine enhancements including a larger throttle body, optimized intake airflow, cylinder heads and exhaust manifold modifications, changes in the control unit, and the inclusion of a sport exhaust system. The result produces a 0 to 60 mph time of a quick 4.4 seconds and a top track speed of an impressive 186 mph. Manufacturers’ suggested retail pricing for the 911 Club Coupe begins at $99,911 USD and $145,911 CAD.
Of the 50 911 Club Coupes created, 48 were offered up for sale to PCA members. PCNA created a special website where several thousand U.S. and Canadian PCA members registered to purchase one of the cars. Of the two remaining cars, one went to the Porsche museum in Stuttgart, Germany, while the other was used as 911 Club Coupe Sweepstakes grand prize. More than 10,000 PCA members entered the 911 Club Coupe Sweepstakes.
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), based in Atlanta, Ga., and its subsidiary, Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd., are the exclusive importers of Porsche sports cars and Cayenne sport utility vehicles for the United States and Canada. A wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, PCNA employs approximately 300 people who provide Porsche vehicles, parts, service, marketing and training for its 210 U.S. and Canadian dealers. They, in turn, provide Porsche owners with best-in-class service.

WOW!

I live 20 minutes from White Plains and am there often so I'll be on the lookout for the car.

Too bad the IRS tab is going to be $40-50K. Still worth it though.

Well, I gotta say I wish it were me that won, but it looks like the guy that won it *deserves* it. Can you imagine being one of the runner up guys? Man that'd hurt.

Nice car!

[SCOTITUDE]

Doubt the " deserves it" part. Rumour has it he didn't even want to travel to atlanta for the drawing even though it was all expense paid and had to be "talked into it." Luck had it he was the one that drew the winning key out of the three keys offered. I need luck like that. Maybe in my next life.

my wife did not originally want to go until she found out that the grand prize was to be awarded.

And now, who's going to win the fully restored 1973 911T this year? Does anyone know if it's MFI or CIS? I wonder if it comes with a build sheet from the factory?

[URY914]

I'm holding out for a "well sorted 944".

If, by "well-sorted," you mean a camshaft driven by a chain under a cover, and the rest of the junk driven by belts, and a clutch with a spring hub, and motor mounts that'll last 100K miles, then I'm with you!

MFI, but who cares? Couldn't they find something more interesting to restore? It makes no sense to me.

Back to original spec, but with modern rustproofing / sound proofing / etc.

I believe not just a build sheet, but a whole book documenting the restoration.
