"Significant" 914s/Mid-engined Porsches in SoCal, for PCA Timeline Lake Arrowhead, CA? Options

[RogerYellow914]

PCA Riverside Region has an annual event at the Lake Arrowhead Village. This year the event takes place on Oct 14. I participated last year and have been invited to attend again this year.

The idea behind the event is to see the progression of Porsche models through the years. And they do this to some extent. But, the why it has been organized the last couple of years the 914s are usually stuck in a remote or hidden location. (Last year my car, a 912E and a 924 were put off in a very low traffic area of the Village. They would have been seen more in the corral in the parking lot.)

I complained a bit to the event organizer and suggested that the 914 and 914/6 should be in a line-up with mid-engined Porsches. Dream line-up would be: 356-001, 550, 914, 914/6, 916, 986, 987, Carrerra GT and Cayman. He said he'd do it if I could find the a 550 to participate. Alternatively, he would give the 914s a more prominate position if I could round up some "significant" cars.

So, anyone in the Club have a line on a 550 (real or nice replica)? Are there any "significant" 914s in the area that the owner would be willing to display? "Significant" would mean something with a race history, an special owner history or some type of special modification.

I'd be happy to give up my spot in the event to give the 914 some better recognition.


Thanks,

Roger

Cap'n,

You're right. Big oversight on my part!

Eric,

They actually had someone last year who said they'd bring a 550. But, they backed out at the last minute. Someone did bring an American Roadster. It was interesting to see how many people just walk by or make dispariging remarks about it becuase it was plan and had patina. Only the PCA people had any appreciatiation of the rarity and the "if it doesn't make it go faster, it's not needed" design. PCNA brought a Carrera GT.
