I have seen at least 3 nearby.

MSDS had a "Range Panzer" Syncro with the brush guard and winch parked in the rough section of the parking lot at the Porsche 50th Anniversary in Laguna Seca. People couldn't resist looking because it was perched on the hill just as you came in. There were rare Porsches, Ferraris, and other exotics in that parking lot. But nothing got more curious looks than this unusual Syncro. I observed at least 4 people walking right up to the beautifully crafted "Range Panzer" emblem just to feel if it really was made from Aluminum checkplate. Cool tall ride. The owner was nowhere to be found

Also spotted in San Rafael (Marin County) early in 1999 - a pair of 911 powered aircooled Vanagons. Neither vehicle looked healthy at the time. Oil leaks were evident under the make shift oil tanks hanging from the passenger sides of the engine compartment. Looked like Vanagon transaxles. Exhausts cobbled-up from Porsche pieces. There was a big collection of dead insects on the windshield. These guys were not only nowhere near the vans. They were also probably not local. Are you guys in the list somewhere? It you're here, it wasn't me crawling under vehicle that they. It was that other guy.

There. I added that to my spell checker dictionary.
