Tucked away in sleepy Santa Cruz, Canepa Motors specializes in SUV and other
specialty vehicle mods.
We showed up late on a Monday afternoon, and they were most welcoming.
Bruce used to race the Porsche in the 80's. Each car here has so much history... |

That's a 962 tub. It's going to be completely restored. And there were 3 959s in
this room alone. |

Imran fields some important phone calls while I just gawk. One of the 959 owners
also has a McLaren! |

Some
bikes, some SUVs outside. Manufacturers often have Bruce do special projects for
them. |

More
959s awaiting EPA certification. They were all over the place.
And
tucked away in another room were some very cool cars. |

That
Bugati EB110 is the SS version! AWD, and Bruce prefers driving it to the McLaren. |

Another showroom, this one with a Le Mans winning Porsche, bikes, F1 cars, and a
yellow 50's Indy car. |

The white and blue
car is a Lancia with a Ferrari engine. One of 3 in the world.
That's Bruce in
the green shirt. He enjoys talking about his cars, and is full of fascinating
stories.
Currently, he is heavily into racing big trucks--I mean, the really big Kenworth
jobbies! Cool guy.
The blue F1 has
been meticulously restored. It is immaculate. |
