The 50th Porsche Parade 2005 at Hershey,was the largest event of Porsches I've been to. I realized that no matter how car,or Porsche crazy I am, it's possible to burnout from Porsche overload. I did manage to photograph enough 914s to make this topic worth viewing. I ask anyone with photos of this event to please post them.
I will start with some of the vintage race 914s that were on display, starting with this 1971 914-6GT Daytona winner.

More of the 914-6 GT.

3qtr. rear view of this vintage racer.

I NEED that exaust!

Add flame thrower kit and no one woule tailgate me again!

Another angle on rear view.

I already posted some of these, but it is a good excuse to pull 'em back up. Lessee if I've got a picture of your car! I guess I met you there? This first one is the attendees, waiting to go over to the non-conncours parking area. My car is the one closest to the camera (of course )

OPEN-AIR VINTAGE RACER. If anyone has history infor on these porsches ,please add.

Scott thats great! Keep them coming. More on the overall vintage racers. I also have photos of the 914s parked in the non-concours area,but they look as if they should be judged.

I don't know the history on this one ,but the graphics are great!

can't find yours yet. was it in the concours? Here's one I really liked

914s in the concours display area.

Oh Scott, I did not take my car to the Parade. I went there to get as many photos of all Porsches as one could, in the three days I was there. I went there to relax,and enjoy.

Hey Scott, here is a similar shot focused on the faces of the concours judged 914s.

another purty one.

one more....
wicked!

More of the 914-6s being judged. This 914-6 was driven to the show from Michigan,and placed second to the blue 914-6 that was trailer in.

I think I wet myself,,,,,

When I saw that 914-6 GT I knew it was significant, but I was so overwhelmed with all of them at once....

I'm sure you have non-914 pics too.

C GTs look prettty good in yellow- I still think they are a bit too big, but this looked smaller than the GT-2 next to it.

WOW!! Great photo of the longtail. I took close to five hundred photos of all Porsches together. Maybe about eighty 914s. I went crazy on most of the vintage race porsches. I spent most of my time in the non-concours parking display of every model porsche. I have some awesome photos of the Yellow Carrera GT. I guess I'll post the 914s first,and than some of the others, but keep the photos coming it's good to see other photos of the show.

Ok Scott you talked me into showing two Carrera GT photos. I think there's alittle 914 in that side view. Look at the sail panel next to the side glass...914 all the way.

The engine area is always a crowd pleaser of the C GT.

just a silly question.....why does the yellow and green car have a different rear wheel set on, both cars not just one....hmmmm

Need pics of the ones at the wash & shine on the hill next to the 356's.

Great pictures! Thank you for sharing. It would have been fun being there but I wasn't. The next best thing is seeing pictures from people that were there.

Those cars ran Minilites way back in 1971 and 72. They're orginal to the look.

I bet that C GT handles great in the Alaska Winters....

The Max Moritz car (that's the green one) ran Fuchs up front and Minilites in the back for at least one race. The car was restored to the condition that it ran that (those) race(s) in. Which means it has mis-matched wheels.

I think Pano just did another article on this car in the last couple of months.

The artical was in Excellance.

The pic below is out of my '72 Sebring program. The picture is from the '71 race.

The Max Moritz car belongs to Steve Limbert of Air Cooled Racing in Wellsville, PA. Until recently he also owned a Jennings 911.

The blue # 78 is owned and driven by Les Handley in FP in SCCA. Always makes the Runoffs.

the yellow sunoco #5 is also a real Gt formerly (maybe presently) owned by gary wigglesworth from york PA. i saw the car often at summit point and at the hershey swap meets, have some pix of it on the track and at the swap meet, always a car of interest. something like a sebring winner or class winner but a real GT nonetheless.

This car is a factory-built GT and is famous for its 1971 Daytona run where it finished 1st in class and 7th overall

That's my car! Hoo hoo!

If Porsche had developed the 914 the way they developed the 911, that might be the result: 911 3.2 liter Carrera engine, 245 and 285 tires, 996 TT brakes and Boxster S 6-speed transmission.

As you might imagine, goes, stops and corners like a dream. And here's something you never hear from a 914 driver: shifts like a dream, too!

If you'd like to see the evolution of this car (1 owner), go to www.abc-digital-art.com and click on the little white dot on the left under "Mail". The slide show begins.

This 914 from San Antonio took 1st place in it's touring class. The owners Donna,and Bill Carder are also the original owners since day one of this beauty.

More of the 1973 914 from San Antonio.

This green 914 looks like the same one that was part of the MWC 2005.

Great looking Lt.blue 914 in the concours area.

Interior of the Lt.blue 914....Hey if anyone out there sees their car posted,maybe you could send in and give us an idea what your experiences were at the Porsche Parade. I know alot of hard work went behind each car out there,and they all showed it.

Wheel of the Lt.blue 914.

The 914 that was reflected in the wheel.

More of the red 914 1.7

This beautiful late 914 took 1st. place in it's class,and is owned by Brad Shisler from Ohio. Brad is the original owner ,and drove his car to the Porsche Parade from Ohio.

Hey,if anyone has Hershey Porsche Parade photos please post them, lets make this the site to see the Porsche Parade.

Nice pics!

Just curious (read dreaming) how much does a nice car like these /4s and /6s cost? What's a real world figure on a concours or almost concours quality car?
