Small Porsche Collection in DFW
So this past Saturday, Trancemission & I had an opportunity to visit a special Porsche collection hidden here in DFW. Although small, the owner has a story behind each car & a personality that defined the term, "enthusiast". From a '55 356 Continental to a bought-new Speedster to a 911 Carrera owned by the late Roy Orbison, the owner is a true Porsche-phile. So much so, that you'll find his name listed by Porsche as an official driver of the old Porsche 917Ks as well as other famous Porsche racers.
Besides the car collection, there is a large amount of car memorabilia within' his home that I had to photograph as well. Now, on to the pics.

Curious, was that a 914-6?

Yep. I believe the owner said it has a Carrera engine transplant making around 300whp.

A friend of mine did that to his 914; it's crazy fast and more than a little scary around turns. If you're not careful, you end up facing the wrong direction. But, it makes me erupt in joyous laughter when I ride in the car and it's at WOT. Just awesome.

My father and I restored a 1966 912 back in the late 70's. We brought it back to life after some years in a horse barn. He put a bolt on piston/cylinder kit to up the displacement and I put on new 40 IDA Webers, to replace the old Solex's, after I purchased it from him in the early 80's. It was a great driver. One of the best cars I've owned.
