Default Eye Candy...

I attended a visit to Canepa Design organized by the Golden Gate Region of the Porsche Club of America (PCA). Canepa Design features a showroom with several "high-end" collector's cars for sale, a museum with numerous historical racing vehicles on display (including Porsches), a state-of-the-art restoration shop and a race preparation shop. It is a "must see" destination for any serious automotive enthusiast. Its museum contains a few open wheel cars, a dragster, a couple of historic stock cars, and a number of Porsche race cars including a 962 and a 917-10.

My photo collection can be seen HERE.

Canepa Design is located in Scotts Valley, CA, off Hy17. The showroom and museum are open to the public.

Here are some selected cars:

I'm not in the market for another car, but I might need to make a visit sometime, if just to drool a little.

Thanks for sharing. I have always seen his ads and it seems he always has incredible cars, but your pictures really validate it.

I bet being there gave you goose bumps .....
