The 918 is also common at the auctions... in black here at Bonhams:  And in silver here at RM, in between a 959 and a CGT:  Note: this is what happens when you spend your life collecting amazing things and then die... your kids auction it all off and split the money - all three of these ones were from the same collector who had recently passed... |

I would be torn - on the one hand the convertible Italia is likely a nicer option to live with:  But the hard top has that awesome back window engine display  |

And as lovely as the 599 was  The F12 is in my opinion apex Ferrari design-wise  |

When you park as far away from everyone else as possible to avoid a door ding... only to return and find some tool parked right next to you - despite having the whole rest of the parking lot open  |

As super cars go, the 720s might be the most common around here:  |

Porsche 917, reproduction maybe? In Gulf livery Hah, small world... I know the guys at Patrick Motorsports. I could probably find out but knowing their business I would venture it's a reproduction.
We did a project with the Nobel M600, those run our hardware too.
I love Cobras, but like you can't tell one from another (nor does anyone want you to be able to). In the end a stack of VIN plates got sold and built out. I think it was a fighter plane manufacturing company in Poland that bought them and made 'originals' out of them? I helped out on a supercharge IRL powerplant build on one of these reproductions. It was an amazing car.

930 Turbo in Silver Great license plate Yeah, that's my car right there. Nothing like a late 1980's 930 Turbo in my book, that's perfection in styling and execution of design for the era. Well except they're still CIS fuel injected. In fact even it's successor, the 964 Turbo (rare as hens teeth - let's see you dig one of those up taken by your own hand dapellegrini ) is still CIS. It wasn't until the 993 Turbo that Porsche actually got back into electronic fuel injection on their turbo engines. Of course the Porsche 959 was electronically fuel injected  |

inboost - I will keep an eye out. We have some pretty cool stuff locally - I've never specifically looked for a 964 turbo - the normal ones seem to become Singers or donors. Our best vintage Porsche gathering is at this cafe, every first Saturday: fourtillfour.com/blogs/news/our-eventsYou can scroll their photos. FWIW, I think you would love it: FOURTILLFOUR WAS FOUNDED IN THE DESIRE TO BRING NEW LIFE TO OLD OBJECTS, RESTORING ADVENTURE INTO VINTAGE MACHINES AND BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER THROUGH THE RITUAL OF COFFEE. fourtillfour.com/blogs/origin-story/originstoryEDIT: my favorite local watch store employs an expert - who drives a Porsche and attends this show... Its also a great watch spotting show

inboost - it occurs to me I need to train my eyes on the differences between a 930 and a 964 Turbo... Is this a 964?
