Default THREE 965 Turbo S at the Auto Collections in Las Vegas

I'm in Vegas this weekend and decided to check out the Auto Collections this morning. There were THREE ROW 965 Turbo S cars on display! All had red interior, gold brakes and ruby wheel centers. 2 were LHD, 1 RHD. 0 of them for sale

There was also a beautiful 1966 911S with a lot of racing history offered for $170,000, a 924GTS (1983 Le Mans entrant) for $300,000, and a 550 Spyder replica for $75,000. Although most of the cars at the Auto Collections are domestic these days, you can still see some fine European automobiles - VWs, Peugeots, Austins, MGs, Jags (an E-type and an XJ220), and Rolls Royce. Oh, and one of James Hetfield's rat rods was there for sale for $25K. One of these days I'd like to build one of those for myself...

So if you're ever in Vegas put the Auto Collections on your list of places to visit.





















And I didn't know they were TWIN turbo either

Yeah, imperial palace. The front of the building is under renovation so the entrance is easy to miss with all the scaffolding.

I'm a Turbo S fan but each of those cars had to be spec-ed by a color blind individual.
A real shame.

I have to agree. Seems as iif they order horrid interior colors which others wouldnt order, making them rare. That being said, I would do some horrible things for any of the three.

I am glad to see these cars finally being showed to everyone. I managed years ago to view them in a warehouse, but was not suppose to talk about it. I did manage to take a few pictures and then had to promise not to show them. jdorociak@gmail.com jim
