Chris's 1968 Porsche 911L, Sportomatic formerly owned by Vasek Polak
Thank
you for your webpage. I bought a 68 Sporto once owned by Vasek Polak.
I found her on the 911 registry and a story about the car is at http://www.vpracing.com/Visitor-input/Halverson-911.html.
I bought her, had her shipped from San Diego to Seattle, had the engine rebuilt
by Aker's of Seattle and now she's kept garaged virtually all the time.
She is never driven in the rain and runs like a dream. -Chris

<snip> purchased a '68 911L from
a friend, Phil Van Buskirk (publisher of PML , Porsche Market Letter). Phil had
purchased the 911L from Carl Thompson at the Vasek Polak Competition Warehouse
in Torrance in '97. Phil was doing an article for his magazine about the sale of
Vasek's collection. He spotted this passenger car amongst all the famous racing
cars, and asked Carl what it was doing there. Carl explained that Vasek had
taken the car in trade at his Porsche dealership. He brought it home for his
wife, Anna Maria to try it out because of the Sportomatic transmission. She
tried it but did not like it (speculation is that the Sportomatic still requires
shifting, just no clutch). So Vasek took the car to the Competition Warehouse
and parked it there. It sat there for several years until Phil's inquiry in '97.
Phil bought the car through Carl and kept it at his home where he also parked it
for three years, that is until I heard that he was selling it in his magazine. <snip>
