@Petroli @Adam thank you sir, that is a great service and your responses really appreciated.
@emerge949 just wanted to give you an update. I had a custom made box for shipping with structural integrity (photo in gallery). It is now ready and in hand and will be used to safely transport the sign. Thank you again for asking.

If only it were a view of the “DIP” before they changed the track to make it “safer” Pretty sure I still hold the lap record for a “street stock” E30 M3 on the “Old” course before the change. I was at 1:52/lap on Michelin street tires. Absolute track record was 1:48 on Race Compound tires.
That was in 1995 when I was 28 years old. Damn time FLIES!!!!
And so did that AWESOME IMSA Spec 930 Turbo on this sign!!!!!
No doubt. I’m a local and have driven that corner many times at HPDE events. Turn 7 at Road Atlanta!! That just might make me have to bid on this one!!

@emerge949 that is a great question. I am already working in advance with a professional that I use for custom size boxes that has a packaging company. I will ensure it has structural integrity and is also properly packed inside the box as well. I am expecting the box to be a little bigger than the 5' by 3' and thick enough to have structural integrity. Great question.
Understood that shipping would be buyer's responsibility, but what are you able to provide to ensure it would be packaged appropriately to ship to west coast?

Hi all and welcome to my no-reserve barn find auction for my IMSA Camel GT Porsche 935 Metal Sign! Please note that this sign was 'rescued' from a non-enthusiast and to please gauge its condition before bidding in both the condition-related videos and the abundance of condition-related photos in the photo gallery. It has noticeable signs of dents, scratches, tears, folds - however - it does add to the character of this ~42 year old sign and it will now be going to a true Porsche enthusiast to hang and enjoy! Good luck to the highest bidder and the next owner of this really cool sign!
