The Road to Monterey 2016: Canepa Motors Scotts Valley CA

[EDEZ8]

On 17 August 2016, five Z8s left together for Monterey Car week. To break up the trip, we stopped at Canepa's in Scotts Valley to tour this amazing facility that has a restoration shop, a museum and a car sales showroom. As you will see from the pictures this is a great place to stop for a "car guy" or "car gal".

Our cars


One of several Porsche 959s on site, including a gorgeous red sport version in the showroom http://canepa.com/photo-gallery/1988-porsche-959s5360/


A Ferrari 288 parked outside


NART Ferrari insured for $70M USD, it has a great endurance race history at Le Mans by beating the Ferrari factory cars, which adds to its value

Just a plain Jane 288 GTO in the parking lot? You can do better than that right?

All jokes aside, isn't that GTO within door dinging distance of that Chrysler utility van thing?

Aren't they selling Bobby Rahal's Z8 too?

I can confirm that the 288 GTO was in fact well within door ding range of the minivan. Ironically on the drive down to Canepa, Patrick (screenap) was telling me one of his favorite cars was a Ferrari 288 GTO, and then there it is!

Yes, Bobby Rahal's former Z8 was still there too. Here's an image from a Cars & Coffee event in June 2016. The wheels appear to have been powder coated in gray.

I'll need to go back and review the images one more time to find the ones you took...

Did you notice the change in my Avatar Picture? I'll give you full credit for that one! It's also my FB profile picture. Thank You!!

Don't look too long! I may have taken a couple of my shoes but that would probably be it.
