You all know where Amelia Island is. Up north Florida way, just across from the Okefenokee Swamp. It's 21km long by 6.4km wide and home to the Eight Flags Shrimp Festival, the Petanque American Open, Florida's oldest continually operating drinking establishment, the Palace Saloon, and of course the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance and five classic car auctions.
Anyway, I'll be there next month staying at the Miller Cottage at the Elizabeth Pointe Lodge ($700 a night) including a private Ocean View deck with rocking chairs.
At Amelia Island he's selling 10 of the best Porkers around from WhatsApp founder Jan Koum's collection. Don't let the kiddies read this but Jan dropped out of uni, played Ultimate Frisbee, founded WhatsApp and sold it for $26 billion.
Anyway, the 1979 Porsche 935 Dave is auctioning for $4.2m is not one of Mr Ultimate Frisbee's. It's better. The 935 was the greatest ever Porker racer. Due to strong demand from super-rich consumers Porsche built seven 935 chassis for private teams in the US. The 935 Davo is selling, was built to order for Otis Chandler, publisher of the Los Angeles Times and one of Porsche's VIP customers.
