One of the many I neglected to keep up-to-date during the Speedster build was Sam Cabiglio, even though he generously shared his advice when I called before the project. Wasn't 'til I told him in person yesterday that he even knew I owned one.
His enthusiastic response: he'd seen it
on Rennlist & asked if he could see it in person.
I was surprised when he & another who works with Jerry independently gushed that they noticed Speedy at Tues' Carmel Concours.
A couple of Jerry's friends / staff that are personally familiar with his 993 Speedster relayed, if I recall correctly:
It wasn't originally delivered from the factory as a Speedster. It was sent back with slightly fewer than 1,000 miles, with the request that Porsche convert it.
It has a dark gray soft-top. ('04 Concours on Rodeo Drive photos don't show that.)
More than one of them had driven it!
(Editor's note: The author's a dangerously obsessed 993 Speedster junkie. He passed out after typing the last sentence -- short-circuited at the thought. This serial will continue when he recovers.)
