Doesn't George Hussey of AA own one of the 916s? I thought there was an article several years ago where he showed the Porsche factory conversion of a 914-4 into a 916, seemed kind of a hack job - OK for a prototype though.

>I was told by a reputable source that Jerry owns this GT. I was told that he prefers very original cars, and this one is suppose to be one of the most original GT cars in exsistance. Its the Alfa GT, bought by Alfa Romeo to study a factory PORSCHE race car at the time.< You are correct (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) he does own this White 914-6 GT, and he does prefer only the real thing. I spoke with him and his buyer the guy who pick him the white GT at Rennsport II, He was a very nice person and has a true love for great cars and speed. He was checking out the Luftahnsa 914-6 and made a coment on how clean it was. Quilmes |

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. Yup...this car was at Rennsport II...bare aluminum...right next to his 917K (#20) used in the LeMans movie. |

You forgot to mention Jerry's 550 spyder. He drove it in the Colorado Tour the year before last.
Yeah. The man's got a good love for good cars. I wasn't big on his show though. Gustl. Jerry's show got cancelled (or whatever) back in the twentieth century, and it's still re-running on 10 different channels. Nuckin' futz. |
