Gmund descendent joins Stutz as honored vehicle at annual Southeast event

The Amelia Concours d’Elegance is celebrating the Porsche 914 next March during its 20th annual show. The quirky, asymmetrical midengined 914 will join the Stutz brand as this year's honorees.

I disagree Rick....VERY FEW Porsches are worth over 500k. Are you saying that all <$500k Porsches are Not A Real Porsche?

I'm saying I was dissed on the phone. The guy was a jerk. Unless your car is a special factory team race car or something rare your not really welcome there.

It's a 914 event after all isn't it?

Sorry, Rick, Amelia is NOT going to be a 914 show. The 914 is being honored, so enough of this NARP stuff, which means a few significant 914's will be in a special exhibit. I predict that a 914 WILL NOT win best of show.

As far as RM is concerned, they do auction a couple of Porsches every year. expensive 356's, 911's, a 959 one year. They would certainly auction Georges' 916 if he was inclined to sell at auction. Auctions are all about money to the auction company. they get an additional 10% buyers premium, why would they settle for a 914 if it takes the place of a $500K car?

I can't make it anymore simple for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) Read my post above. I posted my point in using the term is to return the insult to a unknowing dimwit car jockey. The uppity A hole obviously doesn't realize that many of the auction attendees will likely be there because of the 914.

I'm sorry you don't feel your car is worthy enough for a high end auction. I guess you know your place. I don't happen to feel I'm any less worthy of a customer than some old fart with more money than his 18 year old trophy wife can spend. Sorry your not offended when someone looks down their nose at you.

If I can squirrel away enough in Sterling by that date, I may add a Gold Covered Jacuzzi. I had to boost the displacement the bit, so I hope George isn't too upset if I am invited to sell at auction.

I am still shoehorning the slightly modified Merlin 12 cylinder into the 914, and had to move the windshield and Bonneville single seat up to just behind the front valance. BUT, she really takes the wind in when the cruise is engaged (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)



I hope this one isn't considered a NARP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
