Counting 1:64 scale Porsches to fall asleep

What does a guy that has just about every 1:64 scale Porsche ever produced do when he can't sleep? He thinks about the obscure Porsches not produced in that scale. This is way better than counting sheep!

Since I know of every Porsche full and 1:64 scale car ever produced, finding something I wasn't aware of is like finding the holy grail. I just ordered a rare 1984 McLaren Porsche Formula One and a VW Porsche-parts van to my collection. So, I'm still adding a few to the book shelf now and then.

But there are a few Porsche street and race cars I really wish someone would make in 1:64 scale. Here's my wish list:

  • 718 - not the latest version, but the late 50s/early 60s mid-engine sports racer
  • 804 - Porsche's first and only Formula One winning works entry
  • 908/3 - the spyder version of the 908 would be fantastic in 1:64 scale
  • 909 - The lightweight hill climbing specialist in silver would be perfection in 1:64
  • 916 - I have plenty of 914 and 914/6 but NO 916!
  • 917/30 - again, plenty of 917, 917K, 917 LH and 917/10 but not the ultimate 917/30
  • 924S - Hot Wheels produced a 924 when I was a kid but I'd love a modern recreation
  • 935 K3 - Every version of the 935 has been produced, but not the Le Mans winner
  • 940 - I have a poor reproduction of Porsche's indy car, but a proper version would be great
  • RS Spyder - the LMP2 racer won several championships, yet no 1:64 scale car
  • 982 - the latest 718 would be a nice addition too
  • Taycan - It won't be long I'm sure, but Porsche's new e-car needs a 1:64 version
You can see there are plenty of Porsche cars left to create in 1:64 scale. Someday I hope to have them all!
