Isn't this the car that was on display at our yearly UCR parade a few years ago up in markham. I recall a that fellow just east of toronto owned the car. His name escapes me. I think there was also an article on how this car was restored and plated as the only Canadian example in Provinz as well. I guess its now in Vancouver.

I don't think it's the only one... there's a red RUF CTR (#14 if I remember correctly) in Ottawa. I met the owner a few years back at a local car show. Unbelievable machine!

Great article! Thanks for posting Will!


EDIT: I correct myself, they call it the only one "made" for Canada... not the only one in Canada.

There is indeed one just west of Ottawa. It was featured in Excellence and is a darker shade of red.

It wasn't based on the 964 though.

I have a pic around somewhere.

That shop is a couple of blocks away from me, and I believe that I saw it there when I was in. I've always thought that 911s looked better without rain gutters.

If the famous Yellowbird is a CTR than the one east of Ottawa is a CTR. If Yellowbird is a BTR then it's a BTR. It's one of 10 or so more or less identical to Yellowbird.

This one is based on the G body.
Not a 964.
Trouble with these cars, is dodging potholes.
But lots of fun on track!

The one I know of in Ottawa is a red CTR, 964 body.
