That would be the 944, according a writer in this piece for TheDrive…
On October 2, the PCA Silver Sage Region (headquartered in Boise, ID) held its showing of member cars in a shopping mall in the Meridian suburb. About 140 cars were represented, some of which are depicted on this page.
This is a followup to a previous post, here.
Here is the tale of a 944 NA (almost identical to the Blue Rascal in terms of configuration) recently purchased at auction at Bring A Trailer (BaT) and driven home over 1500 miles.
Yesterday I drove the Blue Rascal to a shopping mall outside of Boise, ID, where the PCA Silver Sage Region was staging its OktoberFAST car show, said to include about 140 vehicles of the Porsche marque. Whereupon I found only three front-engined machines — an ‘85.5 944 NA, an ’86 951 and a ’93 968… see below. (Oh, wait I did see a couple of Macans and a Cayenne …)
The Rascal performed perfectly and averaged 30.3 mpg for the nearly 400-mile round trip, mostly at an indicated 80 mph (Idaho has stretches of 80mph-posted freeway, where most of the traffic moves at 85 – 90, so I was obliged to stay with the pack, of course). As time permits, I will try to post photos of some of the other 100-plus, mostly 911, cars I saw.
This just in from Dennis; hit my email this morning. As you may know, my friend Dennis Hoyt has been featured here in many posts around his unique sculpture of racing automobila. Here is a vid produced by April Simpson to promote Dennis’ role in the auction sale benefiting the La Grande Symphony.
Herman sends along this image of his 911 parked at a serendipitous address as he and his wife were out shopping yesterday.
