Road Scholars specializes in the restoration of concours winners and sale of painstakingly researched inventory but really we're a bunch of car nuts excited to share our journey with the rest of the world.

1964 Carrera 2 Cabriolet Chassis #160790 is preparing for the interior shop but before leaving went through extensive research to replicate the factory installed sound deadening material.
The Carrera 2 model was notorious for its quiet cabin and lack of road noise. Porsche achieved this by installing its typical tar based “waffle” paper insulation and then added natural fiber jute padding in the entire interior. This is a detail that we don’t see in many of the Carrera 2 models that have been restored and adds to the authentic experience of driving a Carrera with the 2.0 liter engine.

The second to last 550 RS Spyder produced, chassis 550-0089 was specially ordered by John von Neumann of Competition Motors. Neumann requested a number of factory modifications that included an oval chrome grille at the back of the engine clamshell and two scoop vents to help cool the engine. This last batch of Spyders also received the reinforced high-frame designed chassis that resolved some of the flex issues with the ladder frames.

550-0089 was delivered in silver metallic with red darts. Raced by Richie Ginther and Jack West in 1956 through 1958.

We have just wrapped up returning chassis #550-0089 to its original color combination and livery as it was raced by Ritchie Ginther in 1956. This was the second to last Spyder produced and was special ordered by John von Neumann.
The owner of Competition Motors, Neumann made a special request for a large engine grille on the aluminum clam shell that added cooling of the four-cam Type 547 engine.

All the hard work on 904-060 paid off with a score of 299.7 out of 300, and a best in class award in Restoration Group Full Factory Race. This was the highest score of the day on the concours field despite a highly challenging judging format.

The 1965 911 #301022 scored 298.4, and finished second in class. We couldn’t be more happy for our client and proud of our restoration team. Fingers crossed for the banquet dinner tomorrow and if 904-060 garnishes any further awards. Thank you to everyone who came to see us today. It was a great day Porsche Club of America!

More progress made on the restoration of the 1964 Carrera 2 Cabriolet. Bryan Gremchuk and Danny Omasta fitted the front trunk lid and doors and made preliminary adjustments to the gaps so they open and close smoothly.

With a large batch of trim coming back from being chromed, BG will begin fitting portions of the Carrera's trim, window mechanisms and some of the many jewelry pieces around the exterior.

One step closer to completion. 904-060's type 587/3 has rejoined the chassis and driveline.

Roughly three weeks to go before 904-060 is due to make its debut at the 68th Porsche Parade.

It may appear that there is still a long way to go, but the car will come together very quickly from this point forward. J.R. has already begun the process of final assembly and has already installed the gearbox and plumbing for the fuel and brake systems.

In the coming days, 904-060's type 587 engine will be reinstalled, reconnected and will be ready to be fired up to set a base tune.
