Have been digging thru some old PCA crap recently and, since I moved from the midwest a number of years ago, am wondering what's become of some of the significant 9146's of my early Porsche life.
Chuck Stoddard's black 914/6, with the gently "pooched" fenders - named Gronk!
Earle Rowe's near equally equipped dark green 914/6 (Earl was a long time accountant for PCA).
Harry Gompf's(Indiana) yellow "bad boy" 914/6. Last time I heard, he was going to try to stuff a 928 motor into it. Always FTD at autocrosses.
Les Checel (Adriatic Blue, as I recall). Bone stock, driven every day. Les was always at every event.
David Parks (Tangerine) - I believe his car went Canada a bunch of years ago.
Anyone know the wherabouts of these cars today?

Pat,
Les is still active in the IRAC Series. He has a tangerine six now with some slight mods to the motor ( S Pistons). I see him a a few events I attend each year.

I dunno about any of those, but one of Eric's old cars was for sale here in the UK before Christmas. IIRC it was a yellow '6. I'll see if I can find the advert again.

It's always nice to be acknowledged

sorry to see that eric. That car's been making its rounds to a lot of garages. Such a pretty girl to be treated that way.

I know that Aspen gas station, it's still there and looks the same.

Pat,
Do you remember this car from Louisville? I bought it and had it a few years and sold it during my divorce. Still breaks my heart I did not keep it!

I am from Louisville and not sure I knew about the orange six. Do you remember who you purchased it from? Was it a guy named Mark?
