TAHNK YOU!

I sent you a PM with more info and a question of my own. 

Have you been to “ the shop”, in Seattle, near the stadiums.  It’s a car club.  https://theshopclubs.com/

The owner (Matt) may be able to tell you who may have one in SEA.  Happy to facilitate an intro.  I’m in SEA. I know Matt well. 

 I remember seeing a 550 there not that long ago ( while grabbing food at the restaurant) ... but it actually could have been the  original one that lingers around town and comes out for PCA events. ( it’s there every so often being shown off...). 

Also- the ParkPlace guys ( in Bellevue) may know as well... they service VS Speedsters and 550 replicas.  hey used to sell VS, and have sold a 550 or two until they received a cease and desist from Porsche.

Also, you could reach out to Mike at http://wagenschmitt.com/index.php.  (He is in the U district), He services aircooled engines mostly VW and 356... and has a customer with a 550 ... may be a Beck....  not sure.   Mike is old school... and retired, but still works on one/two cars at a time - mostly spring and summer, when the spirit moves him. , He has been working on my engine for years. I take my VS to him for its annual “ once over” every year since 2013.   He is awesome, and lives to share his passion for cars/engines. 

Will PM you my cell if you rather talk. 

Cheers,

Luis

@MVSpyder. Brian, first, nice setup. Love your garage, which would appear to be as big as my house. It’s just missing a loft seating area so you can gaze below at your collection. ;-)

Which leads me to my second comment, nice collect of cars.  I’m guessing you have an allergy to back seats?  Oh wait, my bad. The 911 has those knee knocker jumper seats......

Good luck in your search. I loved the Martini Spyder on BaT. 

'They show up on Craigslist on occasion....there is one there now for $54750 at Palm Desert ….

I would try Park Place (they are tough to deal with) and Giordanos  in Carnation....

Very nice collection of vehicles.  I never did collect more than one at at time, and wish I had kept some of the ones I sold.
