I saw that it was no longer at Canepa and was wondering where it ended up. Did you get a chance to meet / talk to the owner?

Met the owner. Guy named Bruce Levin. Owns a couple 914 and a bunch of other car. Said he's waiting for his GT4rs to arrive. I think he's got a 934 too. Seemed like a nice guy.

Is it Bruce Leven ? Wasn't he a racer ? Bayside Disposal ? He's probably collected some significant cars over his racing career.

His Bayside Motorsports was a good indie shop in "Redmondo" back in the early 1980s. Ralph Meaney's shop (Meaney West) was also in the area. Good times.

The owner Bruce Leven passed away on September 15th at his home in Seattle. He had battled cancer.
Blackula, the 914, has a 3.2 with a special exhaust by Rothsport Motors.

I remember that car from the WCR in Medford. I think the guy that built it was the owner at the time. A real craftsman. It is more impressive in person.

That's where I saw it too. The owner at that time made his money with a dog food business of all things. He had it custom built by a high-end shop. There are other threads (including one from the actual build process) and tons more pics around here somewhere.

Looks like someone "un-blacked" the tail lights since I saw it (compared to Billy's "newer" shot in the OP). I wonder where she is now?

Sad to hear this. We had a nice morning just sitting on a bench and watching the cars arrive for the event.

I got there early but didn't see Blackula unfortunately. I just went where they directed me. A restored Bayside Disposal LeMans car was displayed near the center of the main display area with Hurley Haywood's name above the driver's door.
