Recently Tejon Hounds had the pleasure of hosting Octavia Pollock, author of the “An English Country Girl in California” blog. She was able to capture the magic of the ranch perfectly. Read the full blog post here: From California to Montana via Nevada, behind hounds all the way. Part One!

 

 

Tejon Ranch was recently approached by Jeff Zwart, a commercial director and award-winning rally racer, to help with the filming of this promotion for an upcoming auction. The amazing Porsche (dubbed #LUFTAUTO) featured in the video will be auctioned off with all proceeds going to the Autumn Leaves Project, a charity dedicated to funding pancreatic cancer research.

The #LUFTAUTO, an interpretation of a rally-style 911, was designed in form and function to be both a daily driver as well as a capable rally-racer. Tejon Ranch was a natural fit for a location to demonstrate the #LUFTAUTO and gladly donated the use of the ranch for the promo.

The auction will take place April 10, 2016 at 9 a.m. at Modernica in Los Angeles, just east of downtown at 2891 Saco Street, Vernon, CA 90058. For those interested in bidding on the car, pre-registration is required, directly with Veronica Perry in RM Sotheby’s Los Angeles Office. She can be contacted at vperry@rmsothebys.com or +1 310 559 4575.

For our car enthusiasts: In the Porsche vernacular, Luftgekühlt represents all the air-cooled cars in the manufacturer’s history, from the Pre-A 356 through the 993 model line, which ended in 1998. More specifically, Luftgekühlt is the brainchild of two-time Le Mans class winner Patrick Long and noted Southern California creative director Howie Idelson. It is a true Porsche happening.

The #LUFTAUTO is a natural extension of Luftgekühlt co-founders Patrick Long and Howie Idelson’s vision: a custom-built, rally-inspired 911 featuring creative details from some of the foremost brands, builders and automotive artists in the industry today, including Rod Emory of Emory Motorsports, Joey Seely, owner of E-Motion Engineering, and Deus Ex Machina’s Carby Tuckwell.
