This is a real beauty, a veritable missile on wheels, and a seeming anachronism for the year it was built. Even the jaded judges were impressed and couldn't get enough of it. I thought at first it was a 2008 model and was stunned seeing the year 1964 on the windshield.

Amazing considering the fact that this car is 44 years old! Great presentation on your part...as with all thirty previous images. Read a book several years ago about Dr. Porshe during WW II. Did you know they built tanks? Imagine writing to your mother as a WW II German soldier, "Got a new Porshe today". Bill

Lovely pics and car. If you like putting your back out to get in. No good to me, nowhere to put the horse poo or the shrubs from the nursery, or 4 dogs.

It looks to me like a V-8 with three webers but what do I know. The 928 might be a descendent. It also has a 12 volt battery by the number of filler caps. But that is details. Let's get this baby in the wind tunnel and really wring her out. Targa Florio! Carrera Pan America!?? Maybe just a hill climb car.

Na this is my tune! Love cars what fit under the boom gate..lol Gorgeous sleek body shape and a special "extra" shot of the engine ...yummmm.

It does look quite futuristic and out of place for 1964~ Great collage.

I.m thinking I'd be quite the babe magnet with one of these in the driveway! Nice work Harry, this looks great!!
