I'm happy to report that once again a 914 won first in class for Porsches at our ninth annual All Air Cooled Gathering on September 22nd. Congratulations Len Coloccia and his beautiful red low mileage original '74 914. This car was a perfect example of a well preserved and prepared 914.
While the overall turnout for the event was down from last year, the 241 cars that did attend ended up enjoying a beautiful sunny autumn day. This was actually quite surprising considering the dismal forecast for the weekend. It was however, a record turnout for Porsches; 19 total. Everything from 50's 356's to 993 911's. Thanks to all that attended. Here's a list of the Porsche Class winners: Len Coloccia ’74 Porsche 914 Lake Underwood ’57 Porsche Speedster Steve Raiteri ’71 Porsche 911E Dave |

The following is just what I've heard about this car so take it for what it is worth. If anyone has a different story please correct me. I first met Len & his wife Linda at the AACG.
The original owner loved the car so much he decided it was a keeper. Had it disassembled, cleaned, painted & reassembled. It was at that time the trunks & underbody were painted glossy black. Why black trunks, I don't know. There were never any rust issues, he just wanted it spotless. At some point he decided to sell it & then that person (2nd owner) sold it to Len this past summer. It is a beautiful car. The best thing is Len drives it. As Dave says the AACG is not a concourse event. It is a fun judged event. He has a hard job since the p-cars are all lumped together. I agree there is no reason Lens car should not have won. Not to take away from any others that were there as several were very nice. Pics below were taken at the 11/10/13 C&C in Mendham NJ.
