Our Past
1978 Porsche The Year SONPCA Formed Sonnenschein Region PCA was originally incorporated as the Gulf Coast Region on 30 Nov 78. In the mid 1990s interest was at a low, and the region became essentially inactive. In 1997 it was brought back to life by Gerald Davis who volunteered to be the first Sonnenschein president. Growth was rapid in those early years of reinvigoration and Sonnenschein won a PCA membership award in 1999. We were also blessed with a superb Facebook manager and Newsletter editor. We are on our fifth Sonnenschein president, and are fortunate to have 3 of 4 past presidents still active in the club. We've also received our 40th anniversary banner from PCA.Our Present
2020 Porsche Where SONPCA is Today Sonnenschein Region PCA generally provides a balance of both social and track events to satisfy our 100+ members. Social activities have included visits to a local vineyard, a ferry ride to Dauphin Island, tours through our countryside, car shows at the National Museum of Naval Aviation, and visits to a local car museum. For local track vents, we conducted over 150 DE and autocross events. So 2020 finds Sonnenschein with an active and enthusiastic membership enjoying many social activities, and looking forward to adding more events to our calendar. You, too, will be a welcome part of our present club and be a valued member in building our future...please join us!Our Future
Future Porsche SONPCA’s Future You are the future of the Sonnenschein Region PCA! Old and new Porsche owners alike, if you would like to experience ownership to the fullest, please join us! We organize monthly meetings, driving events such as Driver’s Education (DE) and Autocross (AX), as well as road rallies through the MS, AL, and FL countrysides. While centralized in the Pensacola, Florida area, we frequently head west to Mobile, or east to Destin. We enjoy meeting with our neighbor PCA regions as well as other car clubs, such as the Pensacola British Car Club. As a club, we would like to welcome you to the region, and for first time Porsche owners, to Porsche ownership. There is a lot of joy to be had with these fine automobiles, and we aim to exploit each and every one!

“The Mart” - Free classifieds on National PCA Website
For National exposure to your Porsche buying and selling needs, please check out the
-FREE- classified ad section on the National PCA website…called “The Mart”:
Buy & Sell on PCA “The Mart”
What you get:
The Porsche Club of America offers a free classified ad section to members for
advertising Porsche cars, parts, and items: The Mart. Non-members can't post ads,
but they can view them sans seller contact information. Sellers can be assured that
they're advertising to PCA members and Quest members, and buyers get the peace of
mind of purchasing items owned and maintained by club members. Please note that
the PCA doesn’t handle transactions — the actual commerce is up to you.
The Mart advertises to a broad PCA member audience on-line, but it's also affiliated
with the club's award-winning magazine, Porsche Panorama. Members may have up
to four ads published in The Mart, one in each category (Cars For Sale, Parts For Sale,
Wanted, Miscellaneous), and as many unpublished ads as they like loaded in
their queues. Ads in queue may be switched out and published at any time. If you
want your ad(s) to appear in the next month’s issue of Porsche Panorama, the
publishing option must be set to “in Panorama” or “Both” and the ad(s) in question
must be published before 5 PM EST on the first of the month. It can take up to 15
minutes for classified ad changes to be displayed on the site listings.
Ads may remain published for a maximum of 90 days before they expire. Remember:
Every 30 days the ad must be updated and/or re-saved for it to remain published. Ads
that do not conform to The Mart rules may be deleted without warning. If you are
having difficulty placing your ad, please contact PCA National Office.
We’re an active Porsche club, with an active Website, Facebook, and Twitter…
Here you’ll see the latest changes made to the SONPCA website. Some changes are minor (i.e. fixing spelling, images, etc…); other changes may be of interest
(e.g. update to calendar events, photos added to the Gallery, club announcements, etc…).
Don’t forget to also check our Facebook and Twitter for additional news, events, and sharing of Porsches!
Check back often to see what’s changed!
Date of most recent site update: January 09, 2021
What changed: Our annual holiday luncheon has been postponed. Possibly March.
WELCOME
Welcome to the Sonnenschein Region Porsche Club of America We are an active Porsche Club of America (PCA) region within the PCA Zone 12, focusing our time and effort on the original reason of Porsche ownership - driving… Our club and mission… The Sonnenschein Region Porsche Club of America (SONPCA) celebrates the finer things in life. We desire the comfort of good friends and good conversation, and we praise to a fault the world's finest automobile. Since our region’s founding in 1978 our close-knit community of Porsche owners has grown to just below 200 members from Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. If you own a Porsche, join now! We socialize, show our prized possessions, and conduct rallies, autocrosses and tours. The club sponsors driver education and technical sessions. Each of us know our Porsche - or Porsches if we're lucky - inside and out. We even have multiple past event photos and a catalog of past and present newsletters (Zeitschrift) available on this website! The Porsche experience reaches across the cars and the years to people who drive and cherish them. We know the unbridled joy that a Porsche can provide, and we've built a community around that very feeling. The Porsche Club of America (PCA) offers driving experience, technical assistance and camaraderie second to none. If you're as obsessed as we are about Porsche, join our club today. The road awaits. If you're not yet a Porsche owner and are actively looking for a used Porsche to buy, consider the PCA Test Drive/PCA Quest program. Or, if you are a Porsche enthusiast under the age of 18, look at the PCA Juniors program.

members for advertising Porsche cars, parts, and items: The
Mart. Non-members can't post ads, but they can view them sans
seller contact information. Sellers can be assured that they're
advertising to PCA members and Quest members, and buyers
get the peace of mind of purchasing items owned and
maintained by club members. Please note that the PCA doesn’t
handle transactions — the actual commerce is up to you.
The Mart advertises to a broad PCA member audience on-line,
but it's also affiliated with the club's award-winning magazine,
Porsche Panorama. Members may have up to four ads
published in The Mart, one in each category (Cars For Sale, Parts
For Sale, Wanted, Miscellaneous), and as many unpublished ads
as they like loaded in
their queues. Ads in queue may be switched out and published
at any time. If you want your ad(s) to appear in the next month’s
issue of Porsche Panorama, the publishing option must be set to
“in Panorama” or “Both” and the ad(s) in question must be
published before 5 PM EST on the first of the month. It can take
up to 15
minutes for classified ad changes to be displayed on the site
listings.
Ads may remain published for a maximum of 90 days before
they expire. Remember: Every 30 days the ad must be updated
and/or re-saved for it to remain published. Ads that do not
conform to The Mart rules may be deleted without warning. If
you are having difficulty placing your ad, please contact PCA
National Office.

WELCOME
Welcome to the Sonnenschein Region Porsche Club of America We are an active Porsche Club of America (PCA) region within the PCA Zone 12, focusing our time and effort on the original reason of Porsche ownership - driving… Our club and mission… The Sonnenschein Region Porsche Club of America (SONPCA) celebrates the finer things in life. We desire the comfort of good friends and good conversation, and we praise to a fault the world's finest automobile. Since our region’s founding in 1978 our close- knit community of Porsche owners has grown to just below 200 members from Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. If you own a Porsche, join now! We socialize, show our prized possessions, and conduct rallies, autocrosses and tours. The club sponsors driver education and technical sessions. Each of us know our Porsche - or Porsches if we're lucky - inside and out. We even have multiple past event photos and a catalog of past and present newsletters (Zeitschrift) available on this website! The Porsche experience reaches across the cars and the years to people who drive and cherish them. We know the unbridled joy that a Porsche can provide, and we've built a community around that very feeling. The Porsche Club of America (PCA) offers driving experience, technical assistance and camaraderie second to none. If you're as obsessed as we are about Porsche, join our club today. The road awaits. If you're not yet a Porsche owner and are actively looking for a used Porsche to buy, consider the PCA Test Drive/PCA Quest program. Or, if you are a Porsche enthusiast under the age of 18, look at the PCA Juniors program.

Our Past
1978 Porsche The Year SONPCA Formed Sonnenschein Region PCA was originally incorporated as the Gulf Coast Region on 30 Nov 78. In the mid 1990s interest was at a low, and the region became essentially inactive. In 1997 it was brought back to life by Gerald Davis who volunteered to be the first Sonnenschein president. Growth was rapid in those early years of reinvigoration and Sonnenschein won a PCA membership award in 1999. We were also blessed with a superb Facebook manager and Newsletter editor. We are on our fifth Sonnenschein president, and are fortunate to have 3 of 4 past presidents still active in the club. We've also received our 40th anniversary banner from PCA.
