CARS N COFFEE AT WOODLAND HILLS PIERCE COLLEGE IN SOCAL THIS AM

@aircooled bruce is a great guy...we could share stories about baja & cars all day....here's a few of my SUPERCAR SUNDAY favorites today...including a replica Le Mans 904 & adys's 1 of 274ish made $2 million dollar 959...the original SUPERCAR

Looks like a great day. I've missed the last couple Porsche C&C's here. The local PCA group meets the first Saturday of every month and we get about 75 or so Porsches and a smattering of other cars that show up. All cars are welcome even though it's hosted by the PCA group. Lot's of new Porsches and a few original 356 coupes. I hope to make the next one on August 6th.

What did the tailfin car start life as?

I’m kind of bummed. After a few bad apples got the local C&C kicked out of the mall 15 miles away, they moved it 20 miles further away to south salt lake. Haven’t been since.

I’ve talked to Rick about trying to get one closer to home, but I assume the same thing will happen and no local business will want to deal with it.

I really need to go talk to the owner of Sceptre Motors. Their shop is in a former Sears Auto Center just across from a mall and would be an ideal sponsor.

Just spotted this lot, which is now paved, walking Milo down by the river.
Being in a business park, I suspect it is empty on weekends. Judging by the few cars in the screen grab, you can tell how big it is. I wonder if the owners of Qualtrics are car guys.

Michael Mc Kelvey............Here's a photo of the details that was in the window.......Bruce

Thanks, Bruce.  It says they expect to be able to sell these bodies.

@jncspyder  that 904 os one of ours.  That particular car is Chuck Beck's personal light weight race car,  fitted with an '07 GT3 motor, and is the only aluminum birdcage chassis Beck 904 ever built.  1500lbs and around 500hp  He recently sold it to a client of ours who secures movie cars for the studios and has bought MANY cars from us all.

It's SCARY fast and needs some sporting to be competitive but Chuck just couldn't bring himself to add weight in the nose since he spent so much time to take weight out... but it needs it.

@chines1   what a great car.... he trailered it to SUPERCAR SUNDAY since it is poster child for NOT street legal....it is utterly obnoxious "in an awesome way"....the owner is a car guy buddy of mine...he told me the BECK story..he's such a great guy...his cars are well known in film which we have seen in "ford vs ferrari"...we also share some same history with a notorious figure we have come to know as "dr jekyll & mr hyde"...but that's an entirely different oprah  haa!

So is Billie S. your friend, or is he a mutual friend of your friend?  I've never met him but we sold him several 904s, a 250GTO and a Spyder for the Ford v Ferrari movie.  I didn't have any speedsters available so I think he got those from JPS.  

I'll never understand Chuck and his "cheater" builds.  The 904 is an animal in stock form and 300hp, but if you know Chuck you also know that means he needs it to be 20% lighter with 20% more hp for himself.  LOL

Thanks for sharing

@chines1   yeah....i met bill  a few years ago through our local car shows....we usually always chat when we see each other...he recently sold the red speedster from the opening scene of "ford vs ferarri" which was a JPS car....he has a bunch of awesome cars!...i'm insanely jealous

Uh... Going from 300 horse to 500 horse is "20 percent" to you?

** a minimum of, I should have said.  It was more of a generalized statement... but if you'd like to calculate exact delta: (X2-X1)/X1, where X2 is your new value and X1 is your initial value, then multiply by 100 for %  ;-)

Tough crowd here...

Michael........I'm not so sure it would be a big seller. To me,  it's interesting, bazaar and too whory/pimpy with the zebra hair upholstery.  Up close, it's very well made.  Even the fiberglass, stylized exhaust pipes are well made. It's certainly worthy of being on display as an artistic endeavor in "cardom" !.......Bruce

Bruce. I agree.  I think it is very interesting but I wouldn't want one.

Jnc............Are you talking about JPS !  The John Pariah Story ? What a wonderful topic !.......Bruce

very clever bruce, i see what you did there! .....last week i met another speedster guy at the ventura july 4th event with a very similiar JPS story as some of us here....at 1st i thought it was just me.....but it's everyone it seems....for me now, it's just a painful memory
