There needs to be more 968s and other trans cars at Werks next year time to fly the flag.

Hey Rich - sorry we didn't run into you this year.
Yup, ZERO 968s in corral. There were several last year and the year before. Mine was suppose to be there, but a buddy wanted to bring his '18 Cayman and I saw no need to drive 2 cars to every event. Parking is bad enough as it is. Will try to bring mine back next year.
Jackson is full of enthusiasm about his car. He and I talked this year and last. He loves his car and it's his daily.
Jackson's coupe with Cliff and I standing next to it.
An Aventurine coupe in the show field.
Mel's SY cab #4.
The Silver tip coupe at the Gooding auction.
So did the silver cab look as good in person as the $40k price, or was it the fact it was owned by Carlson? And never driven?
Coupe! It did look great in person, not perfect, but close. Classic grey interior is a challenging interior to own as it wants to turn into 50 shades. This one was the nicest CC interior I have seen. A few minor issues to sort out. I had no idea who Bob Carlson was but I see he was a PCNA executive. He owned the car until 2006 when he sold it to Brumos. He passed in 2008. I thought the car was worth the $40k but a strong number for a tip coupe and the 968 market in general. Their estimate was $40-65K. The car was the 10th to the last coupe produced for North America. It was beat out by a 1974 Ford country squire station wagon which sold for $41k. How's that? you ask. The wagon had 1400 original miles and was something to see.
Bob Carlson was a 20 plus year Porsche PR evexutive and the father of the Rennsport Reunion events which we should be oh so very thankful to him, RIP
