So here's the story. A guy in Los Angeles area buys a 1955 Porsche racer in 1963. Puts it in a barn. He passed away in 2021 and 4 weeks ago (so must have been january - february of 2021) the barndoor opens and there is the 1955 racer. So that is what I have heard. The car is bought by a Porsche dealer in the Netherlands and he will unveil it next Friday 26th March time 09:11H pm ( CET so this is 01:11h Pacific time) on a livestream show celebrating 15th anniversary of "Porsche dealer Gelderland". if you want to watch it, see:
Ad , they don't have a 928 in their for sale collection ... poor dealer
That could well be, but they have the first official "Porsche Classic" dealership / restoration workshop where we had a 928 meeting once. They did an early 928 Total restoration.
But they've got a very nice 928 into their private collection, to my knowledge...
It is this rare and quite immaculate Clubsport that once belonged to Hans Joachim Stuck? It was present in 2017 during the 40y 928 event in Rotterdam of the Porsche928 club of the Netherlands

It is.
I need to see this one in person !
Once we can travel, i will plan a tour, from France, then Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany and back to France. This could allow me to see 12 Clubsport's in a few days
The short version of the loooooong story is that a buddy of mine told me about a guy that was sick that wanted to sell an "old Porsche" on his property. Through a rather convoluted series of events in 1994 I ended up with a 1952 356 1500S which was purchased in California in 52 - likely one of the first Porsches in California. At the time my daily driver was a 54 Coupe and I'd previously also restored a 54 Speedster. I spent months restoring the car and after I sold it I probably cleared about 50 cents an hour for all the time I spent on it, but I loved every minute of working on it.
The car unveiled is a special edition 911 and the barn find was a red 550 Spyder that raced in California bearing the number 118K. Perhaps some of you know this car and the story. Here are some screenshots I took.
