Saw this posted on another site. Nice factory GT. Anyone know of its history? Is it in the data base? It's the Spike and Jerry Show!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

If that's his real factory GT that he has, I inspected it and looked over in 1982 and passed it up. Asking was before everyone had to get in the game. Renault bought it for evaluation and simply parked it in the back of the warehouse. ...its one of those "could have should have moments " during ones life travels.

Looks to be the Alfa Romeo factory owned car. These pictures look to have been taken at Jerry's mechanics shop in Torrance CA. What a great car !

Comedians in cars getting coffee shoot?
Spike has a 914/6 (Irish green skinny fender), my guess is Jerry picked it to show him he can always do one better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I think Jerry has a handful of mechanics to service his collection. A friend of mine insists that Cox Motorsports out of Kansas used to handle some of his motor builds and a few restorations.

I think this GT is one of the finest unmolested 914's left . the yellow Dehavlin GT was also , but a CA dealer used it and did some mods to it..
I saw this GT at the San Diego Porsche Parade..it is sweet.. |

Who is Jerry's mechanic? [/quote] He has a full time mechanic near where I work. He always has some rare Seinfeld car over there. He had some crazy rare factory 356 Carrera Swedish Ice racing champion getting the engine sorted out not too long ago. He also has a shop that does more restoration and metal work. I assume budget is not ever an issue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

I will followup with these shops and see if they need any sheet metal for upcoming projects. |
