Anybody know how I can find Jay Leno?

Yeah, I know that's an odd question, but I'm trying to find anyone with a "real" Porsche 917. I figured if anyone has one, or would know who does, he'd be the guy. I'm working on a 917 clone with a friend's shop, and we've run into some tech questions we just can't find answers to.

If anybody can point me in the right direction, it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Dan

Run for president...Leno is required to interview and pass on all candidates now, I believe. I'm sure he'll be relieved when the interview turns to cars...

 

Find a duesenberg in a barn... and he will find YOU.

 

He's a member here apparantly. Perhaps he'll PM you.

 

Vasek Polak Porsche in Hermosa Beach? Vasek was the real race mechanic, and he's been dead for a number of years, but the agency still has his collection of racing cars on display. Oughta be somebody there who is 917-savvy.

 

I second the above^^^^......

Porsche 917K's are MY favorite racing cars EVER.......one bad mutha.....

 

I always picked between that one and the blk/wht Charger when we busted out the slot car set as a kid....


Love it.

 

I thought Jerry Seinfeld had one??? I know he's a big Porsche guy.

 

Jerry Seinfeld does own a 917. Here is a link http://www.germancarzone.com/vintage-porsches/2604-porsche-917-031-a.html

 

Isn't he on T.V. every night?

 

These are suposed to be the best replicas available, right now...

Real & Replica...

 

One Bad Mother!

 

You can find him on TV every night...

Sam.

 

Shut your mouth!!

 

one of the only porsches that i like.
I own 2 of them.
They are real tiny, you can hold one in each hand.

 

Man how I love that Gulf Oil paint scheme. It would make almost any car look cool. Well, maybe not a Pontiac Aztek.

Looking for Jay Leno? Just go to Autobooks in Burbank. He's in there every time I go in. He must work there.

 

Only one other race car since 1970 even comes CLOSE to the badassness of a 917K..... and it ain't italian.....

 

Real ones on the street...

 

Any dash and/or interior pics??

 

A couple of int. shots.....

Heres a website for 917s.... http://www.porsche917.com.ar/index_i.htm

 

ya need to go get yourself a chin detector..you'll find him for sure than

 

Drive around Burbank for a while during the week. You'll eventually run into him on his way to the studio in one of his many toys.

 

Holy squirrel turds, Batman!!! Wow, you guys are great!!

With all the leads I'm getting, I may not need the man after all.

Thanks for the info. Please keep it coming! Thanks!

 

There's one in the Indy museum too.

 

He's also a regular at the Rock Store in Malibu....but you're not exactly local.

 

You could hang out in front of the gate at the Big Dog Garage and wait for him to pull up. Having a hot blonde with you might help.

 

If'n I had a hot blonde with me, I probably wouldn't be concerned about finding Jay... or much else for that matter!
