We're talking a final Karmann-built 1965 356C in Irish Green, a 1968 Porsche 907 Daytona winner, and a 1961 356B four-cam GT Coupe, among others. Morris Solomons has its first real inventory acquisition: a European-market 1999 Porsche 996 GT3 in Speed Yellow with full Manthey Racing documentation. Never sold in North America. Then things get serious. A federal judge sentenced the owner of CPR Classic to time in prison and $10 million in restitution for a Ponzi-style fraud scheme involving Porsche restoration and resale. The story includes selling the same cars to multiple buyers, forging title signatures, and triple-dipping on lines of credit. Zuckerman, an actual lawyer, walks through the legal fallout in detail. Jonny reviews the 2027 Audi S5 review in the context of Audi's bizarre new naming scheme (even numbers are EVs, odd numbers are gas), a $75,000 price point, and infotainment glitches that should embarrass the brand. The group debates in-cabin driver attention cameras and what car driver tracking camera privacy actually means for buyers. Spy shots of the new mid engine Toyota MR2 prototype surface, and Bizzarrini sends a letter claiming Giorgetto Giugiaro showed their open-top Targa design to Porsche executives before the 911 Targa ever existed, which is either automotive history or a very bold claim. Listener Q and A covers why Spike and Zuckerman sold their Porsche 911 S/T, watch choices from the SCR table, and the team's favorite racetracks. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Jerry is selling more of his Porsches? 08:10 - The rare cars that we're selling 13:20 - INSANE classic Porsche ponzi scheme 25:26 - 2027 Audi S5 review 28:02 - The fall of VW Group? 29:00 - What car buyers REALLY want 34:41 - Why are our cars SPYING on us? 41:48 - Toyota MR2 SPOTTED! 43:22 - The Bizzarrini! 48:35 - Why we sold the 911 S/T 50:12 - Why Z is selling the Dakar Yellow E39 52:38 - Our watches 55:48 - The best race tracks in the world 1:02:58 - Zuckerman's Rod Emory car Learn more about your ad choices.
