No less a star than Wayne Carini drove this 1977 911 onto the Concours grounds. It was pouring smoke, and not fake smoke.

Carini has done this in the past. There is a local used car dealer, Dodi's in Monterey, that he buys...er....rough cars, then drives them to the Concours d'Lemons....

The rest of the pic's caption mentioned Dodi's Auto Sales...hmmm, are you familiar with that establishment from your Cali days Rob? Sounds like a fine place to be a gently pre-owned, little ole' lady-driven jewel of a ride.

Key phrase from what I've seen is just that, Ran when parked......but some ran better, or worse, than others.....

I believe that it is a cunningly disguised test mule for the 992.2.
