as members have first dibs on the entire production series. The purchasing process for the 911 Club Coupe is done completely over a special website (www.porsche.com/911clubcoupe), which contains details, terms and conditions. In the highly unlikely event that the club's members do not purchase the complete stock of 48 units by the open purchase date of August 15th, 2005, the remaining cars will be made available to the general public.

With about 84,000 individual and active members, Porsche Club of America is one of the largest, independent single-marque automobile clubs in the world. There are a total of 139 chapters in Canada and the U.S., and chances are, there's a chapter in a town or city near you. Like all clubs, PCA had a humble beginning - its roots can be traced back to Blackie's Grille in Alexandria, Virginia where founder Bill Sholar and eleven fellow Porsche enthusiasts congregated on September 13th, 1955 over one common interest - their Porsche sports cars.
