Please tell me they weren't smokin' those stinky cigars in that nice little car.

Adrian's shop is a mere stone's throw from my house. I pop in there quite often (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I saw this car n San Clemente, CA back in 1985 while purchasing a six. Owner at the time, according to Jeff Zwart, was a Segrstrom. He and a friend came to look at the car I was buying and he told me the racing history. Interesting.....I never saw the car again until this thread was posted.

What was the price back then ?
What is a Segrestrom ?

Never raced but said to be bought by Alfa Romeo to see what Porsche was up to, found by Kerry Morse at the Alfa factory (if memory is correct) Sam Cabiglio bought car and played with it for years then went up for sale 1987 for about $85k

Here's my story, in 83 I attended a PB Tweeks Porsche swapmeet in Signal Hill, Long Beach California. This GT was there for sale, the owner was Sam his business was the gray market cars from Europe. I looked it over / check it out for purchase at the swapmeet. When I discussed the origin of this GT, his reply was during an business visit in Europe he came across this in a corner of the Renault factory. Yes it was purchased for evaluation purpose and once they finished. It was simply parked in a corner of the factory and forgotten until he inquired and purchase it. At the time, Sam also wrench for Seinfeld too. Since I wanted to purchase the GT, wife talked me out of it since I already had a 71 European- 6....
Yes, back in those early days, Kerry had a shop in OC which is close to Long Beach.. since it didn't sell, I'm sure Kerry bought it since the asking from Sam was only 25k back in the days before " everyone" wanted to b cool to own a - 6.
Do I regret not buying it, yes and no . I waited 30 years later and now have one of 900 + TT. In life, you win some and lose some.

I believe the word he used was "Rally", not racing.
Segrstrom is a prominent Orange County family with plenty of resources

He also has a shop that does more restoration and metal work. I assume budget is not never an issue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Do you know the names of these shops?

Thanks for all the other replies. I will followup with these shops and see if they need any sheet metal for upcoming projects.

My brother in law runs the shop that does most of his paint and metal work, I referred him to Restoration Design a long time ago, if you want to know the name of the shop PM me, I don't want to get him in trouble... I have some cool pics and have seen some stuff I'm not allowed to post (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

FWIW, one of his "guys" that maintains the fleet is a 914 guy as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

They (the guys who tend the collection) are weird about people knowing apparently.

I was told never to post pictures etc, don't really want to ruin that for him.

If /When people know that Jerry is there occasionally they'll start showing up for no other reason than to gawk.

Im meeting up with Jim's son at noon. I will ask him if he remembered anything that is interesting with the GT. It's funny how Jim and I were in the same neighborhood back way when. He made it a profession and I made it a hobby. In the end we both made out.
