I always parked the 4 after a run with a grin on my face. Now the grin lasts a whole lot longer.

Ken,

How's the car these days? It's so beautiful I was able to dig up this thread from memory! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

I'm bumping this in hopes of learning what tires are on your car and how you like them...

Thanks!

Congratulations

BUT what are the odds of two people named KEN buying a 914-6 from people who live in San Jose during the same week, and living with-in 12 miles of each other??

Ken

The odds of that up here are better of winning the $42 million 649 draw.
The odds in California of that happening seem pretty good cause all the good 914's are in SoCal.

It was a fun afternoon. Lots of cars to see (only a few Porsche's) tour was fun (about 2,000 people on the streets of Carmel to watch), nice dinner afterwards.

I wouldn't characterize it a dorky, but it was very low key. Check in, park and just wander around. Judging was just "hey there are going to be some cars here on Friday, can you be a judge". Award for best Italian but not best German!

I'm debating about next year. There is a Porsche corral at the Concorso Italiano that I heard some 914's were at. The registration for the Concorso is $200 for non-Italian cars vs. $60 for the Pacific Grove Rally. I would like to see some of the cars at the Concorso though. Let's talk early next summer.

Great to see the both of you. Plus a lucky linkup on Friday.

He Ken:
I was one of 914s at the Concorso. It's $100 for the car and 2 people (plus FREE COFFEE! Whooppee!) if you reserve & pay early.

I recall the listing for that car, congratulations -- a truly excellent example. One big reason I didn't go for that, or any of the other solid original -6's I saw out there. I'd feel compelled to keep it in pristine condition. Or, to put it differently, I'd feel way too guilty at the thought of modifying it, putting it at risk, etc. And in that sense it was a lot of money for something I wouldn't feel comfortable enjoying the way I want to.

That had me looking at conversions, and eventually hooked me on the already "violated" original -6 that I wound up buying.

Ken,

Stunning car. I totally understand your comment about sitting and admiring it. It looks like the focal point of the neighborhood sitting there. Careful with that thing - alotta zombie/morons out there w/ no insurance aiming for it. Someone backed into my beautiful -6 while it was parked at a gas station and tried to blame it on me! cellphone/AAAPlus/disposable camera/classic car insurance post haste. AAA now writes there own classic car policies.

Seattle is a little far. I have a tour set up in April through the Loma Prieta PCA group that will be going out to the Pinnacles beyond Hollister. Picnic lunch, fun roads. Will be posting more info here next month.

I plan on doing another Canepa tour. No date set yet.

I'm not aware that it came from the east coast but you never know. PO was from San Jose and had it for about 8 years.

VIN is 9140432020

I remember this six! I remember it when I attended a number of Chesapeake Challenge events a few years back.. (probably mid-90's) it had front bumperetts at the time... and the wipers are parked on the passenger side as they are now...
I remember a few other oddites on the car, but also the black paint was perfect!

Congratulations!! Looks like your VIN says our cars are cousins. Mine is 9140432228. And also is black.

I can tell you that black was not an original color unless it was paint-to-order.

And there were some early -6s with no fogs, although the cost for them was buried in the base price. I know because my first -6 was new in 70, and I got a check from Porsche to reimburse me for the missing fogs.

Maybe some day we can get pics of our cars side by side! I've owned current -6 since 1976. Bought in Chesapeake, VA, but it was in and around San Diego from early 77 until mid-1988 when I drove it to Coastal Carolina.

Enjoy,enjoy, enjoy!!!
