I here Gerry has some 200 Porsches and wanted to build a big shop for all of them.... but the question is... how many fourteens does he have in the collection, and does his mechanic use chopsticks too?

BTW....there are a few other stars that do 914s....Steven Spielbergh haunts Dunkel's as well....he always seems to come by and buy something from me....

David Letterman has a 914-6
Steve Martin drove a 914 on the set of the Tonight Show back in the Carson days. Don't know if it was his or not.
I have a strong suspicion that George Clooney has a 914 as he's been seen in one in both an episode of ER and also in the movie Intolerable Cruelty. If it was only coincidence it makes for an interesting statistical anomoly.

....as to his license plates. Those are not legal plates. They are show plates.....if you look closely they will have no registration tags.

Anyone can get a plate made that looks damn near pefect...but ya gotta have that TAG....

Duh, I never even thought of that!

Oh well, I guess I figured that a guy like that could somehow get those plates (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

All right, truth be known.
Gerry has been on this board for quite some time.
Gerry's AKA is Miles... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

He heard that my wife was a big fan of the show and he showed up at her birthday party.
Gave her a silver CGT.

Nice guy.

Supposedly he ended up with a 2270 of mine for a 356 a couple of years ago..

Thats all hear say from a Porsche club member in that region.... Says he saw the RAT serial number and DTM shroud a mile away..

When I looked up that number it was sold to someone from New York...... Dunno, maybe he has someone buy things for him..

He definitely has people buy things for him. Harry Pellow and others have told stories about dealing with these people and only finding out later they were proxies for Jerry.

Yup He purchased a local (Michigan) 9,000 mile Carrera Speedster through one of his "people". The car was sold by Vic Skirmants (356 fame) for the widow of Bill Roemig, the car's owner since new in '58.

I noticed your question. JERRY Seinfeld is a big comedian (TV/stage) over here and well known as a Porsche lover. Supposedly he has one of the best P-car collections in the US/world.

AFAIK Jerry only has 1 914; I am quite certain there's only one 914 on the west coast, at least. I have no idea what cars he has in NY (or elsewhere) these days.

It's white and either a real "GT" or M471 car; I am not sure which or frankly not exactly sure what the difference is.

By far the majority of his collection is 356 and 911 cars.

Or so I've heard (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

There was an article in Excellence about an Romstech that mention Jerry using a go between to purchase stuff. The Romstech was previously owned by a friend of his.

Yep and I have worked on the sister car to that very one... It was rolled by Bill at a race in 1961 and fully restored taking 12 years to complete..

Here it is, they were consecutive serial numbers- Seinfeld has car #28 and this one is 27. Car 28 was the "driver" car and this one was the race car. It raced at Lemans in 1959

Till you have worked on a 300K car as perfect as this you haven't experienced hell... Especially when it belongs to the most anal French Chef in the world... This is a link to his restaurant
www.joelrestaurant.com
He also owns the last German made VW convertible ever sold in the US... Its Massive equipped even though it only had 27 original miles on it and the dealer license plate when it arrived at my shop.

As to him owning a Carrera GT, yes he has one and in fact he got the first one in the country. I am a P-Tech and around the time he got it I went to the training facility in Atlanta for an unrelated course, I spoke to one of the instructors there and he told me that they had yet to get their two cars to train on, but Jerry had his. Apparently for about two weeks he was the only person in the country to have one. He is VERY well known to Porsche, as you can imagine, and they treat him very well.

The rest of his collection I do not know about, I have heard that the lions share is 356 and chrome bumper 911, but that was all just gossip from guys who work in his neck of the woods.

I know he has a 1988 Carrera in Black that he repainted after it hit 3K miles. He wanted it perfect. It is.
He also has a great Conda Green 1970 911S and a 911R.
I have an insider that does a lot of work for Jerry on the West Coast. From what I hear and what I have seen all of his cars are perfect or on their way to being perfect.

I think it's true Jerry's a guy who respects the marque and also
does want things to be perfect. Here is a Gmund couple he
bought, that was being prepared before the Rennsport Reunion
(did anybody know if it was there). The shop owner told us
that Jerry wanted to keep the original hand-done finish.
