Something looks not quite right with that 914/8 pic. drunk.gif

They missed the Porsche B32 Carrera - only 11, 15, 17 were built, depending on who's numbers you use. huh.gif

EDIT Dupe .... & 74 > 76 blink.gif

PS - yes 914 pic is wrong, they used a 75 or 74 OOPS! 76 914/4 - NOT either of the 914-8's!

The editor should've caught it, &/or the writer should've done his/her research on the pic properly.

I'm guessing that it may have been you, Andy, who contacted them directly to correct it, & maybe even sent them the correct pic to use.

If so, then beerchug.gif to you too!

I saw googl Analytics your site and read my mistake.

Well then, you are far more proactive than most of the other online & print magazines are, when it comes to fact checking.

So for your next "Rare Porsches article, maybe you can research the B32 Carrera which I noted above. It's been in a number of German print auto magazines, & a couple of English ones since they came out in the 1980's, & they have the gray one at the VW Bulli Museum in Hamburg (??) GER.

We've owned one of the "slow" (0-60: 30 minutes) 1988 VW Vanagon CamperGL Westfalia waterboxer-4's since new - so anything faster is always of interest to me! laugh.gif

PS - Most Porsche types here in the US & California have never heard of them at all, but I think some in Europe & the UK may know a bit more about them. So it's one unique Porsche which would stun a lot of your readers, I would think.

Good for You! beerchug.gif

And tonight I will toss and turn wondering which one, The 964 Flat nose or the 993 Carrera RS is my favorite Porsche.

185km/h in a vanagon. Zoiks!

Posted by: r_towle May 16 2017, 09:14 PM

There is a car show at an old track in CT every Labor Day. Due to zoning they race on Friday and Saturday and no cars allowed to run on Sunday. It's a vintage race weekend. Being near NYC there are some 1% guys here running some unique iron. I saw one abarth 356 there with a 4-cam parked next to several 356 carerras....
Unique car but not my cup of tea....the abarth.
Now, the original unrestored Ferrari gto that won lemans is there every year....all stickers still on the car and the guy still races it , which is right.

There's actually a lot of Porsche built prototype cars and one off's that are not on the list.

I think the Porsche Abarth 356 would also be considered a race & not production car Rich, but then maybe a list of rare Porsche Racers si in order.

There were a couple of the Abarths with that Carrera motor that came to the Coronada Speedfest for the past several years that we went (held on the NAS North Island runway). driving.gif

But the Fleet Week sponsors have cancelled that vintage race as of January 2017 - so it is no more! sad.gif

They had one of the street GT1 cars in the wind tunnel at Weissach when I was there in '97, and that is one weak in the knees sexy car. I don't think it's much higher than your waistline, and so sleeeek.

I still have this dream of finding a 904 in a barn somewhere
