Utterly amazing. Covered in this video and in this month's Panorama:


The article notes that there is no 928 in the collection, "yet".

How'd you get into my garage?

The 928s are kept in a special garage above this one!

Amazing but slightly creepy IMO.

^^This. Cell phones in a bucket before entering? Also, I am fairly new to the scene, but I definitely lean toward the "Porsches should be driven" approach.

And, of course the kicker: NO 928s.

The article was ambiguous about the "driven" aspect. It mentioned that all the cars are registered, that the plates are kept in boxes along with manuals, tools and other normal content. But didn't answer the question.

There were some references to Kubrick's 2001 in the Youtube comments. A more sophisticated form of "creepy".

Let's talk about the 928s the guy needs. Early, mid, S4, GTS for sure. GT, CS ... I'm at my limits of knowledge. Wait - Weissach. But were all of these available in white?

They were two production 928CS in Grand-Prix Weiss.
Only one has survived.

Impressive, but admittedly...odd.
This collector, reminds me of the later Howard Hughes somehow. Who reportedly sorted peas by size before he ate them with a special fork.

For all we know, the collector is working on a still-secret Guards Red collection. Kinda like sorting your M&Ms before eating them, which is completely normal - right?

Completely neurotypical Curt.
Not even a red flag for me.

Interesting collection, and a bit obsessive. Somewhat, too "sterile" with the posters in drawers vs. framed on walls. Kinda boring in that regard.

The "yellow" cars look out of place, but understandable, given the changes in paint.

The RSR is tough, and the 959 is sweet.
