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...

The Collector Car Podcast

We start at Concorso Italiano with an unrestored Ferrari 275 GTB, where Morgan and Nicholas from McPherson College join me for a closer look at what makes an original, unrestored Ferrari so special. The imperfections, finishes and evidence of its past are exactly what make a car like this so fascinating.

In the first of this two-part series, I sit down with several of the passionate collectors who brought their incredible machines to the show field.
