PCA badge wanted

Anyone got a PCA badge that's for sale or trade?

Anyone a member who can order me one?

I had one and sold it, but now I picked up another Porsche project and need one. Any condition at all would be fine.

Thanks!

TC

i see them on ebay ...

Would a sticker do? After 20 + years of membership I have a few extra...

A sticker might do just fine. Waddaya want for one?

Thanks,

T

TC, what'cha doin'?

I'll let you know after I get the parts home and get some pics and all, or I'll sell it before then and take the profit and run.

Know anyone looking for a Kellison Sandpiper dune buggy body in need of a little work? I'm heading in a different direction with the bits and pieces of the previous project. No longer need the buggy body.

Evil, its a freebie!

Its a windshield sticker tho' Any good to you?

Probably not, if it's meant to go inside the windshield and face outwards.

Anyone willing to order me one from PCA and I'll PayPal you the coin for it? You can get new ones for much less that that one on Ebay will end up going for. Pretty much the same deal with the 356 Registry Badges. They cost around $25 and I've seen them go for nearly $100 on eBay.

Talked with my partner in crime and he says that it's gotta be a badge, so . . .

Lemme know, anyone . . . ?

Thanks.

Happy to do it man. I will get two, one for each of us. Any other takers before I order?

Ceramic, four colors, 3.5 diameter $18 plus ship.

Thanks SO much ! ! !

I'll send you an email with my address, you just lemme know what the cost is including shipping and your PayPal info and I'll transfer the money.

If you would prefer a check, let me know where to send it, OK?

This is a really nice thing that you're doing ! ! ! !

TC

I will give this a day or so for anyone else to see it and place the order. Once they arrive I will drop you a note then send them your way.

Happy to do it. PCA has been good to me so I dont mind doing a little something for them on merchandise sales plus - its gotta be good advertising on a speedy!

aren't you afraid of offending someone by putting a badge on a replica?
some of them get their knickers in a twist really easily!

Ja, David....that's the fun of it! ;)

Piss on people who don't have a sense of humor.

Piss on 'em all I say!

...what ever happened to that "sugar and spice" thingie...?

Best forum reply ever.

"...aren't you afraid of offending someone by putting a badge on a replica? some of them get their knickers in a twist really easily!.."

Awww heck, I have one on my Tow Rig, and its a Hemi Ram. Never seems to bother them! :)

Michael,

If it's not too late, for $18 + shipping I'm in and thanks for doing this. Just let me know how you would like me to make payment.

Michael-

You'll like Angela. She's got a 550 Spyder replica with a Porsche 6/915. Her husband has a Porsche crest tattooed on his back. She met him in an auto parts store. She wrenches on her own stuff- not just "look, I changed my air cleaner all by myself", but honest-injun cam-chain-tensioner-upgrade wrenching.

.... and she says what she thinks. This site is infinitely more fun to visit because she's here.

Oh, yeah (I almost forgot)- !Mickey Donetello Alert!- I can't imagine wanting to put a PCA badge on my car. It's not a Porsche. ;)

Your in Rich. I am placing the order Monday.

Stan, I luved her at hello... Or was it Piss? Either way she's cool by me.

I have the sticker in my windshield on the Spyder, just to piss people off. 90% of the Porsche guys are cool, it's the other 10% that get their panties in a bunch! And I love doing it, can't help myself.

Daniel,
see you're in New York. I've been in metro ny pca for 25 years. Met some real nice people and some real wankers. The wankers look down on you if your not driving the latest and greatest Porsche or the most original diaper wiped 356. I've spent too much time restoring rusy old porsches (heck even the galvanized ones will rust)...as the vette guys always said "those with class, drive fiberglass!"

I dont want to get sidetracked but its like 0 ambient here & I am just starring at the computer so here it goes:

I have not had my replica long, but I am known to be a BIG Porsche guy here in my area. I have a few other Porsche's, some late model, some older - and to have this replica seems to me to be a fine fit, but some locals have raised an eyebrow since hearing I had one. However, most eyebrows return to proper placement once I say "Its a production car that the manufacturer has made over 3000 of" then all is well.

Some hear that as a blessing as then they dont have to covet this car too badly - and yet others just think the car is too cool for words no matter what.

I have said here that I got it to replace a motorcycle that I grew less fond of (riding is not what it use to be) so it fits my bill to a tee. Its a better motorcycle.

I dont even think of the Porsche badges, the Speedster script, or PCA stickers on the car because I support all of those things. Its a toy, plain & simple, and its fun. I am a PCA member (once I even got "member of the year") and I put PCA stickers on all my cars. I just can't imagine why anyone would mind too much.

Micheal it's your car Bro... do what you want with it! Like you said... it's a toy! have fun my friend!

I do all day long!

Badges ordered. See 'ya when they come in.

SWEET ! !

Thank you.

Paul and Michael: I am a PCA member also. I have a '72 911 project that I will get around to one of these days. I did get a 1st place people's choice at our annual club picnic a few years ago. I enjoy my car, and most Porsche guys get it, and like it. The ones that don't probably have trouble in other areas of their life too.

"I am a PCA member . . . "



Everyone say hello to Daniel.

Daniel, is there anything that you would like to tell us about yourself? You can feel safe here, we're all "Friends of Ferdinand."

Ok, now that's funny.

Michael,

Thanks! I will keep an eye on this thread but if you want to PM me with the final cost and any other specifics here's my address. rlheadley@comcast.net not AT comcast but the "at sign" comcast...

PCA let me in - what the heck were they thinking. Now they wouldn't let me in with the spyder which is worth plenty o'dough. But they did let me join with Butters, my $3,500 salvage title 911 coupe. I thought about joining with Steve's cabby (you need a Porsche VIN to join), but decided it would be much more my style to join with Butters da uber beater.

Steve did pitch a fit all the way from Afghanistan about me taking Buttes in the first PCA run. He insisted that I take his cabby he said "At least TRY to make a decent first impression" LOL!

Do you think I should tell them about using the oven to bake the Cummins Beige paint on my valve covers? Or that I hand lettered the covers with paint from a Chevy?

angela

I know that color. I have a customer with a 911S/C in that shade. He has tried to sell it for Y E A R S - no takers. Then what do you do? You color the engine with it! You are a man made of steel.

They say that Sepia Brown was a tough sell...

I like the rather odd Porsche colors. This one is Bamboo Beige, but in the same vein are the Cashmere and Sahara. I think mine is probaby the least exciting of the three though. Great color for a DD. Steve offered to change it for me, which is of course a huge PITA on a 911 but much to his relief, I quite like this odd shade.

angela

I have a 78SC Targa that color. It is one of those colors you either like or hate.

Angela your my type of women. Baking engine parts in your oven! If Betsy ever caught me there would be hell to pay......;-)

I hope all is well with Steve.

Aw cummon', Dave. Jeanie lets me cure my powder-coat parts in the oven- and a couple of nights ago, I cured a load of firewood in there as well...

I joined the PCA back in 1997 through the Boston (New England) division. When I got to the VIN number part the first time I balked. One of the managers working for me at the time was a long-standing PCA member, and her boyfriend at that time was then president of the NE PCA Chapter and definitely NOT a Porsche snob. I met him at a party, talked about our cars and told him I had thought of joining until I got to the VIN part of the application. "So what?" He asked. "NOBODY ever checks on that", and nobody he new would know the difference between a Porsche VIN and an early VW VIN. I joined later that week, lasted two years and dropped out in favor of the TYP 356 club instead. Best club membership move I ever made. Not only was the PCA awash in Porsche snobs, but the 911 and later people didn't think that the 356's (which share parts with Volkswagens, you know) were real Porsches.

Sheez!

I'm with Danny. It's far more fun to hang with Replicar types!
