YOUR TURN


BEFORE AND AFTER


1978 PORSCHE 930 TURBO Mark Greene of Tacoma, Washington, was in high school when Porsche introduced its 930 Turbo — the supercar of the day. Fast forward to late 2010, when Greene’s business partner at Griot’s Garage called him one Sunday af- ternoon about a 37,000-mile Turbo on eBay. Greene jumped on it. His 930 features op- tion code L999 “Paint to Sample” Metallic


Orange, a rare color that was specified by its original owner, who also picked it up at the factory— option code 900 “Tourist Deliv- ery.” Greene has added about 850 miles and had to sort out a few oil leaks from dry lines, but otherwise he says the car is in excellent original condition. In the spring, expect to see him and his wild 930 on Porsche Club tours.


PRICE RANGE: $20,300–$60,600


1934 BREWSTER TOWN CABRIOLET deVILLE


Don and Diane Weir, of York, Pennsylvania, bought their 1934 Brewster Town Cabriolet deVille in 1996. Te imposing machine origi- nally belonged to the president of the New York Stock Exchange, and the Weirs acquired it out of long-term storage from a good friend. In a matter of days, they had the Brewster in excellent running condition, and after five or six aggressive polish jobs, new tires, some new


glass and some minor touch-ups, it was ready for the road. Te couple has shown it regularly at AACA events, and in 2002 they took it to the Amelia Island Concours. Te following year it garnered Best Unrestored Car honors at the Hilton Head Concours. Most recently, the Brew- ster was awarded the FIVA Award at the 2011 Elegance at Hershey and Best in Class at the St. Michaels Concours. And it’s not just for show; the Weirs drive their stately Brewster regularly and enjoy touring with it.


PRICE RANGE: $10,000–$52,000

1963 FORD FALCON TWO-DOOR SEDAN Louisiana resident David Dominigue still remembers riding in the backseat of his grandmother Beulah’s 1963 Ford Falcon as a young boy. Beulah was meticulous about her epony- mous car, which she purchased off the showroom floor of her local Ford dealership. She left the 33,400-mile Falcon to David as a gift for cutting her lawn each summer, and in the 17-plus years he has owned it, he has added just 67 miles. Te car looks immaculate, with a clean red interior and only slight dulling to the paint, and it is still equipped with one of its original tires, as well as the origi- nal spare. Dominigue and his sons have done some mechanical work (repaired a cracked manifold, new brake system), and he plans to pass it along to his boys some day. “And to think,” he says, “my uncle wanted to make a pro-gasser out of her.”


PRICE RANGE: $3,600–$14,800
