Click here to share your favorite car, car story or any automotive trivia! What happens when you score a free classic Porsche engine out of a stranger's basement and keep a vintage car build hidden from your family for an entire year? You get the ultimate 50th birthday present. Today, we sit down with Vu Nguyen, the Executive Director of the Porsche Club of America (PCA), to talk about his incredible automotive journey and what it takes to help lead an organization of 170,000 passionate members. In this episode of *To All The Cars I've Loved Before*, Vu takes us through the wild story of finding a 1956 Porsche 356A chassis to match a free 1600S motor—only to discover the car was actually a highly coveted numbers-matching chassis.We also dive into his first car memories, including lowering a gold 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE ("Nugget") and preserving a rare 1992 Fox Body Ford Mustang GT that he bought new and turned into a 12-second quarter-mile time capsule. Plus, we debate the real value of "numbers-matching" classics, why his ultimate dream car is actually a 1964 Chevy Impala on air ride, and the forgotten history of Porsche secretly designing a car for Studebaker.
