Last weekend, the Premier Porsche dealer in Cincinnati hosted an intro for the new Cayman with the tie-in to other, noted and classic mid-engine Porsche offerings from the past. Three 914s were prominant in the display as well as other models that I'm sure you will recognize. The 550s pictured are not authentic, however, but were well executed and presented. The 914s were genuine, and were not tribute cars, clones, or reproductions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That's funny, I didn't see you there. You got a photo of me though! Last photo on the first post right behind the 550 spyder. I'm actually next to the guy who owns the red 914 race car that was there. I saw Ken there but missed you. Maybe I'll see you at the next event? Was a great evening, and a great tribute to us mid engine lovers!

Nice event! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

What is the story on the 904? If that isnt real it certainly is very convincing.

I have been told (hearsay?) that the 904 was not a regular production line factory assembled car, but rather a 904 made with a correct 4 cam engine and correct repro parts and factory NOS items.......

The guy who owns the orange 914 pictured in the showroom is Brad Shisler. Brads' residence is listed on my internet program as being Columbus, Ohio. His car is a previous PCA Parade Concours winner. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I do not recall the name of the owner of the orange 914 that was parked next to your car at last Septembers' Reunion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Ross,
Checking license plates, the orange 914 in the showroom IS the same car that was parked next to you at the VW/Porsche Reunion.
