"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

Sorry Roger... I just hate that attitude. The "I'll do it if" attitude.

Why wouldn't a nice original 914-6 be significant enough? What a rare car. Mark my words, very soon these people will be seeing these cars in a different light.

Why would a nice 912E be relegated to a low traffic area?

Every one of these cars from #1 to a lowly 914 or 924 to a C-GT should be celebrated for what it is.

Off soapbox.

Find Armando. He'll probably know of a 914-6/GT in the area. I restored some calipers for a client in the SB area that has one. There's a LeMans winning one sitting on a trailer in that neck of the woods. That oughta wet the PCA weinie's whistle...
