"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

I was gonna finish Jack's statement...tell them to go...

but I won't.

That group of whine and wheezers gives me hives.

My 914 is "significant" 'cause it's mine. My six conversion is "significant" 'cause I did it (if I ever finish it).

"Significant" kiss my white owl.

Jim Burke knows how I feel.

If they want something "significant" tell them to sign up for the RRC.....we'll show them a lot of things significant besides candlelight dinners by the lake and expensive vinegar.

OH BTW, if I haven't pissed you off, call Glenn Sager at Pelican Parts. He has a beautiful original 914/6.

Sorry Roger, I don't think we've ever even met so I hate to offer advice, BUT, tell 'em to go pound sand...

I, along with another SoCal teener, put our cars in this display in either 2002 or 2003. After getting all the "significant" cars, rare and important rides like the '76 thermo reactor S and the like arranged, our babies were "organized" in a side yard. A nice '72 1.7 and an original -6. A Boxster was keyed that was parked along the lakefront display that day. They -6 guy and I took turns watching our cars for one another so they wouldn't get keyed.

So I know who to respond to that offer:

I guess I'm still annoyed by the experience.

Good luck,
