Among our undisputed highlights at #Luft5 was the appearance of the 804 chassis 03 that Dan Gurney raced to victory at Solitude - Porsche's "home" track - in what the Big Eagle himself said was his greatest Porsche Formula One victory. . To have this car in our presence, after Dan's passing earlier this year, was a bittersweet reminder of the man and his importance both to American motorsport and Porsche's history. It was so special to have Justin Gurney present to see the display! . To learn more about the 804 and Dan's history with it, click the link in our bio for a story by @nineoneseven and Kerry Morse. . Many thanks to the 804's owner Ranson Webster and curator/contributor @dirklayer for making it happen. . #Luft5 #Luftgekühlt #SportsCarTogether . @pirelliusa @porsche @rmsothebys @hagertyclassiccars @chopard @mobil1 @leicacamerausa @ganahllumberco .

The early birds are out here at #Luft5 , watching as the 7am crew arrives through the gates here at Ganahl Lumber South Bay. So much goodness filling in the aisles as Luft kicks off. @pirelliusa @chopard @porsche @rmsothebys @hagertyclassiccars @mobil1 #SportsCarTogether #PorscheClassic
We're nearly through setting up and getting all the treasures tucked in for the night. In a few hours, the curtain goes up on #Luft5. . If you have a General Admission ticket, we strongly encourage you to carpool or use ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft. We have a designated rideshare dropoff location right at the front gate of Ganahl Lumber, at 2600 Del Amo Blvd., Torrance CA. . If you want to drive to Luft 5, you are directed to our single large off-site parking lot just under one mile from the Luft 5 venue. The lot is large, fenced and will be staffed by our security personnel. . The address for General Admission parking is 2200 W. Toyota Way, Torrance, CA. . We have hired a prompt and professional event shuttle service which will be running constantly all day between the two locations. Shuttles will depart the secured off-site lot and will drop you directly at the pedestrian entry to Luft 5. . See you bright and early for a day of air-cooled #SportsCarTogether enthusiasm!
We've heard of caravans from Texas, New York and Florida headed across the USA toward #Luft5. Our collaborators at @mallelondon have created a line of driver-focused luggage and accessories, available for sale on-site at #Luft5 and at our online shop, perfect for cross-town or cross-country road trips. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who's out there with the sun in their eyes, covering miles to come see us? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @mr_993 @jtx425 @el_hermanns @mark.pribanic @freckletan @derfaszination @revivalroadco @bringatrailer @drivingwhileawesome ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Luftgekühlt
Know the difference between a Langheck and a Kurzheck? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Porsche 908K proudly on display at #Luft5 is a Kurzheck, or short-tail, version of the first of Porsche to win a World Championship. Chassis 908 010 was raced by Vic Elford and Jochen Neerpasch at the 1000kms of Spa-Francorchamps, in Vic's legendary 1968 season. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Learn more about the history of the 908 at the link in our bio, and make sure to check out the car itself this Sunday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Luft5 #Luftgekühlt @rmsothebys @porsche @pirelli @chopard @hagertyclassiccars Photos courtesy Robin Adams / RM
For many, the 911R is a myth. 20 examples made. Or was it 24? The few original examples are in museums or hidden away in private collections. This edition of Luftgekühlt will have in attendance one of the rarest of the rare, one of the four original prototypes, internally known as R4, courtesy of @canepamotorsport Of the four prototypes, R4 is the only one to have survived virtually intact as originally constructed. Chassis R1 was heavily raced and modified to the point of being unrecognizable, R2 was in a road accident, disassembled and has been in storage since 1980. R3 was raced, sold, crashed and later rebuilt. The body panels of R4 are original and have not had any modifications, a rarity among most 911R’s. Read more of R4's history on our site (link in bio). #Luft5 #Luftgekühlt Photo courtesy @zachjamestodd @canepamotorsport @rmsothebys @pirelliusa @hagertyclassiccars @porsche @chopard
