442: The Secret Spyder and Porsche’s 936 with Jay Gillotti
The Collector Car Podcast
This week on The Collector Car Podcast, I sit down with Porsche historian and author Jay Gillotti to talk about his newest book, Secret Spyder: The Porsche 936 Story. The Porsche 936 has always lived somewhat in the shadows of cars like the legendary 917 and the later 956 and 962, but its racing résumé deserves far more attention. We talk about why Porsche developed the 936, its connection to the 917, the arrival of turbocharging, its remarkable success at Le Mans and why Porsche brought the car out of retirement for one more extraordinary run in 1981. Jay also takes us behind the...

The Collector Car Podcast
Some podcast episodes have been years in the making. This one has been more like a lifetime. This week on The Collector Car Podcast, I finally sit down with my Uncle Jack to talk about the cars, stories and people that have been part of his life for more than 60 years. At the center of the story is his Anniversary Gold 1963 Chevrolet Impala, a car he has owned since 1966. We also get into his lifelong love affair with Corvettes, including his 1967 Corvette, which has been part of the family since 1974. But then the conversation takes a turn I don't think many people will see coming. Long...

What happens when a passion for automobiles meets the eye of one of the world's most celebrated automotive photographers? And what's happening with Porsche values in today's collector car marketplace?
In this episode of The Collector Car Podcast, we're covering two fascinating sides of the collector car hobby: the art of capturing great automobiles and the changing values of Porsche's most collectible models.
First, I'm joined by René Staud, the legendary German automotive photographer whose extraordinary work has captured some of the world's most beautiful and significant automobiles. René takes us inside his creative world, sharing his passion for automotive photography, the development of his innovative lighting techniques, and the remarkable studio he has built in Germany.
From iconic Porsches and Ferraris to some of the rarest automobiles ever produced, René's photography has helped define how generations of enthusiasts appreciate automotive design. We discuss the artistry, technology, and attention to detail that go into creating images that are as memorable as the cars themselves.
Then, we shift gears to the Porsche collector car market for an update on valuations across the brand's history.
Using the latest available Hagerty valuation data, we explore which Porsche models are appreciating, which are experiencing softer values, and where collectors may find opportunities. From air-cooled 911s and the transaxle models to modern performance Porsches, we'll take a closer look at the trends shaping today's market.
Two very different perspectives on the cars we love: one through the camera lens and the other through the marketplace.
Whether you're passionate about automotive photography, Porsche history, or collector car values, there's something in this episode for you!
