That was fast. After the transaction is finalized, can you reveal the name of your mystery celebrity buyer?

My guess is Awesome Bill from Dawsonville.

Clearly you needed the quick sale of the BLUE car to make room for this -- it's red, it's a turbro, and it's for sale in Wichita KS: https://www.euroasianauto.com/details/u ... 4/86196143

Time to start guessing: Leh Keen?

For the record I have driven a 911 on a track and I was born in GA. I am also quite well known in my own mind.

Just saying...

Nice! It looks vaguely familiar. . .

Absolutely. But the guessing is fun.
He didn’t reveal his name until after the deal was done, and then it was only via his email address. I felt like a goof because before I figured out who he was, I was explaining that the performance headers were better than the stock heat exchangers. He just said “I know what headers are.” Once I put 2 and 2 together, he said that he would send me an autographed LeMans poster, which was very cool of him.

Patrick Long. Patrick Dempsey. Jack Dempsey. Jack Hoff.

There you go swingin' that cat again...

Ok, Frunk,
My wild-ass-guess is Jim Downing. Drove back in Camel GT days, nice guy, won Le Mans and hails from GA. But he’s older than Derrick Bell, so he’d be pushing 80. And he drove Mazdas. So maybe not. Unless he likes little hot rod chick magnet-mobiles.
