UPDATE FOR 2017 EVENT -
The McQueen show is the Saturday before the GPX Zone 8 PCA Concours at the Lakewood CC that Sun. June 4th - so if you want to make it a Two-fer that weekend, head out for this well attended low key Multi-Make car show, where all displayed cars are judged by Boys Republic students, mentored by an experienced Concours Judge volunteer.
2017 Event Schedule Here, & Registration is now on-site only:
https://stevemcqueencarshow.com/event-specifics/
2017 Theme is "Sand Pebbles" -
.
This is a great SoCal Multi-Marque Charity Car Show, to benefit Steve McQuee's Alma Mater - Boys Republic.
It's a really great car show - with a great variety of motorcycles, street & race cars, light & heavy trucks, RVs/Travel Trailers, sail planes, etc. - including some of Steve McQueen's personal vehicles. Loads of Fun!!!!
Since it's multi-marque - this is your chance to also show off your other non-914 sweet rides - so bring ANY VEHICLE for on-site Entry/Display, or just park in the public parking area, & go Gawk-n-Talk on their campus, enjoy the many car related vendors, food, sail plane rides, etc. & the people.
All proceeds go to support the Boys Republic mission.
At this point, there is only on-site registration for Display, or just to park.
If you decide to Display, you will be judged by one of the students of Boys Republic - mentored by a concours judge from the various auto clubs around SoCal, including a few of us PCA volunteers.
The auto themed awards are made by the kids in their shops, & the food & event are run by the students & staff + volunteers.
I'll be there as a volunteer judge/mentor with our `88 Westy - hopefully in Display by the RVs & Trailers area (usually on the Baseball field), & perhaps my wife will join me to show off "her Happy Van"!
So feel free to look me/us up, &/or follow my student/judge & I, or any of the other judge teams around for a while - as well as to take it all in.

Looks like a neat event but I've never been able to make it. This year I just might! I probably will not take the 914 but regardless will shoot lots of pics if I go.
Crap....I always miss this one and it.s right down the road from me.
I always seem to miss this too. Usually for something lame....
This year I had already registered for another car show, Rare Vintage Air, in HB.
Maybe next year.
Someone post some pics!
Gotta work.....
Did anyone go & get some pix they can upload here?
I ended up getting sick that day & couldn't go, so I can't add any pix.
Your fellow members here would probably appreciate your cool car/truck/motorcycle/etc. pix!
Please post yer pix!
TIA

Back in 2015 I Displayed our then freshly rolling-resto restored 1988 Westy, but couldn't really "compete," since I was mentoring the student-judge doing VWs & Porsches & RVs/Trailers categories. Here a a few pix of it there FYI - no biggie!
> I have NO idea why the last 2 pix formatted on end vertically, since my files & the pic viewer shows them flipped horizontally to read right - Sorry, but I have NO idea how to fix them on here otherwise!
When I have time to comb thru my pix files, I'll see if I can find some pix form the past shows to give y'all an idea of what shows up there - including usually several cars/trucks/cycles from McQueen's personal collection (now owned by his kids or a trust or something).
IIRC I have some 914 or other Porsche pix from there, somewhere on this laptop, which I can add next .... IF I can find them in my pix dump file!

And lest we forget - Steve McQueen both raced Porsches successfully, as well as doing the iconic "LeMans" movie! they had his 917 on display there a few years back.

A Bitchen Vette!

Last batch from 2015 McQueen Show -
918 -
.
There were tons more cars, bikes, trucks, etc. there displayed on 2 large & 1 smaller grass fields, plus many great food booths, & stuff to part your money for you, spouse/SO/GF or kids! Great family event too!

It's tomorrow - register at the gate, or just park &
I'm home sick, so will miss this one.

I am going... Driving the 911S as not displaying.
I will be there also in the 911s. It is always a great show.
Some of the best hand made trophies ever ! Hand crafted by the students on campus in the woodshop. Here's our Cool Style from 2012. Some very interesting judges, Freeman Thomas of the 911 R gruppe went over all the nooks and crannies on our black six, and had numerous questions on the equipment. If you are near Chino Hills...don't miss this event ยก
Met some new 914 owners. Laureen is a manager at Hagerty and I'm sure we will see at our next event.
Didn't get the young man's name but this was his 17th birthday gift.
Thanx for the pix!
... especially since I'm stuck home sick trying to recover enough to "work" tomorrow at the GPX Concours, & couldn't go to the McQueen show.
