bigwull, I've been wondering from the get-go ....... if that Porsche is so secretive ...... just where in ell did those pictures of it come from?

I,ve been asking myself the same question...accordin g to R...a friends friends friend gave him them...but...where did friends,friends,friend, get them...we have been told that all auction documentation, was either locked away..lost..or up in smoke...yet here we have pics of a Shiny grey coloured rare Porsche...that does,nt look dissimilar to the pic i posted...and there are dozens more where that one came from...who knows it might be the one....if we are to believe everything that has been written about this Porsche..that is rarer than Hens teeth...then this must be the Holy Grail of all Porsche,s....this is like something from Monty Python....the only thing that,s missing is the Knights of the round Table...and the Giant Were-Rabbit.......not to be confused with that other giant rabbit...Harvey!

OMG!...the pics of the car have went the same way as the documents...they,ve dis-a-peppered...or Do I detect that someone,s gone off in the Cream-Puff!.....Oh,Well.....as P Green use to sing about.....

Yeah, when he was communing with the Green Manilishi (with the two-pronged crown)!

Not only are the photos gone but ALL the replies and topic title from R !!
I said it from the beginning  it all sounds very James Bond to me!!
Bigwull looks like you hit a nerve with > you think know one is going to notice,that you are making enquiries...by now  whole world knows you are looking for it.....just google....: "Any Pennsylvania Members Seen This Porsche"...or any Porsche related topic....and your question is at the top of the tree....No secrets on the net"
anyone else notice the porsche add running on this page !!

I believe he said his boss was looking for the car. Could have been one that his boss owned at some point in his life !!

As the Beatles used to sing,We can work it out..but......in this case its, We can weed them out....

Last time I drove one of these bathtubs for awhile was in Seattle , 1990-ish ; it's serial was in the low digits of the first 'S' series .
Maybe a six-figure value , but just barely .
It was quite purdy & belonged to a local big rock-star-guy .

Very cool looking cars , but by the standards of semi-perf vehicles in the 1990's , I felt that it handled rather like mush , by comparison .

He has owned a couple that are similar, but not that exact one.

I was just trying to find the car on this large forum, and was willing to pay for that information. But apparently I'm a liar that can't be trusted. So why bother leaving the pictures and replies up?

And for what it's worth, Bigwull's picture isn't the same type. Small differences mean a lot with this cars. The same goes for all other antiques, yet I'm ridiculed because of it.

I'm in full agreement 'bout what you'd posted concerning the small diffs do mean so much (not only with cars) , r&rrods !
An Elvis Caddy is worth more than one that ain't , for example .

I didn't & still don't think that the posting(s) you've mentioned were horsehockey .

A person gets all types of responses on various forums , as I'm sure you know ... sometimes it's alotta work to find a dead end , 'specially when it's a rare bird that's trying to be caught !

I'm an old car guy , so if I get called a bs'er , I take it that a real BS'er has mis-identified me as some one that they might be buddies with .

And you're right, driving one of these is like driving a bathtub across quicksand. Sloppy.

We did,nt ridicule you....you did that all by yourself....you posted a topic....that from the outset....looked farcical....to me...and to others....I asked myself...who in their right mind comes on to an antique related forum.......and wants info on a long lost car...that apparently does,nt want to be found....you give us a story...and dangle a carrot...in front of us...expecting us to pull out all the stops...to try and find this car..or have info on its whereabouts.....and the more the story unfolds...the more farcical it became...then when i post, about the google search....you, in my opinion....ran for cover...deleted all what you had written,...with i imagine the hope that no one would ever know that you,d posted on here.....
which, is a forlorn hope....as this topic is and will always be ...at the Top of the Tree...and .if anyone ever does a related search for your super..$400k bathtub that does,nt like quicksand...they will be directed straight to here....

HA, iffen I was younger and had enough money to buy it back, I would go looking for that 66' XKE convert I purchased new for $6K. 3 duces, 4 on floor and it could make the tires "growl" a wee bit in all 4 gears.

Those were cool cars too , cogar !

Way more fun & quick to drive than the bathtubs , but very finicky to American road conditions (and front-end alignments) !
