Late 911 
1974 - 2000


On The Cover
“Millenium Edition” 996 on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. Dr. Robert Grant’s gorgeous 996 “Millenium Edition”. Besides the really cool badges, these cars are really something to see - multi-hue metallic paint, special wishes leather interior, satellite tracking and much more. Bob’s car had just a few hundred miles on the ticker when this picture was taken. Hopefully he's enjoyed adding some more since then.                                                                                                        Photo by  Pat Van Buskirk
