A dealer I know here in the UK had one for sale a few years ago. I am 6'4 and would not have been able to drive it, I could hardly sit in it, at least now I don't have to lust after one!

 

such a stunning car

 

I am going to try to get you guys some pics in the next couple days of some good ones.

How bout these cars all side by side:
959
GT1
917-30
Marlboro F-1
962 Lowenbrau

 

Could you also get the VIN of the 959 then? Would be great

 

It was one of the four that were here illegally way back when and was NOT the one totalled and flown back to Deutschland for repairs. All four were here in my town for hp upgrades as it was cheaper to transport the cars here and fly the mechanics in from Germany. After they were finished, one of them went for a test ride with the owner's mechanic at the wheel. Totalled the car. Had it flown back to Germany where it was rebuilt. No names, but it happened less than 10 miles from where I am sitting right now.

 

Don't know if the owner would appreciate me posting a vin, but that car and the others I mentioned will be in the Northeast USA in a month or so for a very big car show......

 

So for the perfect Porsche garage

How about a

Carrera GT
917K
Canepa Designs 959
962 Dauer
GT1
RUF CTR 3
9FF GT9
CTR2 Yellow Bird

now that would be pure heaven

 

I met Matt in December and toured his home and got a chance to live my dream in the Hans Stuck 996 GT1 - beautiful car. He was very attentive to hear about my 935 project as I mulled over the 917 and 934 in his vault. The F1 car was impressive but nothing compared to the Baby Turbo...my gawd is that car steeped in history.

I have tons of pics on my flickr account, search under Blackbird93576 and you can see the Drendell collection, both the hanger and vault cars.

 

They don't do much for me, except that they are so rare and the reason why they were built. I took these at Rennsport in 04

 

^^ Incredible, love the pictures

 

the CGT & 962 would be enough for me

 

One in silver at the Porsche museum in stutgart, germany!

 

How about this for a spot?





The proper 996 variation of the GT1. One made, absolutely gorgeous (best looking version IMO).

I'm sure others on here can shed some light on whether Porsche themselves own it, and where it's been hiding all these years.

Can anyone tell me exactly what this event was though? The tags and assosciated pictures on Flickr suggest it's some sort of Porsche festival at Paul Ricard in France?

ive seen a clkgtr getting out of the holland tunnel once and i didnt believe he could get the car in and out it was so close to the ground
