I thought his car sold to nebraska along with a -6, but your car looks so similar... whats the history on #11

Brant,
I don't know that gentleman. Was his last name Price? I mountain biked with two sons whose father was autocrossing a 914 with great success in this region a few years ago.
#11 was built up by Rusty Persun who owned it about ten years. He did a lot of great improvements to it: 911 front susp with "S" brakes, turbo tie-rods, koni adjustables, 5-lug, weltmiester bushings, euro P/C kit, iskendarien valve train, balanced/blueprinted, battery to front trunk, 911 rear fender wells and much more. I feel very lucky to have found this car. With the guidence of this board, I have done many more modifications, but that's another story.
His dad, Ralph Persun, has worked, built and played with Porsches forever and operated a Porsche only garage for 20+ years. He's an ex-fighter pilot, airplane mech and has been nortorious in this area for decades as a maverick Porche guy. He's getting up in years, but still has a building full of cars (from a 356 spyder on), and has all the work he cares to have. Once they know you love Porsches, they're really nice guys.
Here's a pretty recent photo.....
