1955 Porsche 356 Speedster Intermeccanica 1 Of The Original 600 on 2040-cars
Baltimore, Maryland, United States

I just bought this car for a replacement to my 65 356 which I sold. I bought this car specifically because it HAD a hardtop. Well, the shipping company destroyed the hardtop or lost it and now there is no hardtop. I am moving 3 hours away for work and am losing my garage. A car with no top doesn't really work well without indoor storage. If you check you will see I am selling 2 other cars as well. So here is what I can tell you. This is one of the original 660 Intermecannica Speedsters built in the 70's. That's another reason I took a liking to this car. It has been verified by intermeccanica. It has the correct hinges. It was built in 1978 and has just over 33k miles. The engine is freshly rebuilt with less than 300 miles and runs like a dream and is oil leak free. There are many authentic period pieces on this car. For example, the steering wheel alone is a 2-4k piece if you can find one. The shifter knob, the license plate shine down, etc are all vintage 356. The gauges are early 912 but still look right because they are Porsche gauges. The floor pans are solid and are heavy gauge steel. The car is /was built to be a gulf tribute (obviously), but also has an outlaw Patina look that adds to the authenticity. There is pitting in the chrome, a small crack on the windshield, the shipper put a tarp on the car after "losing" the top, so there is burn through (as pictured) on the front fender. There is a pretty good amount of stress cracking in the paint which is really invisible unless you try really hard to look for it.. So in general, you are buying a patina 356 replica. I personally think it looks much cooler than the dolled up cars that look like rolling show pieces. There is a full tonneau that covers the upholstery, and a soft top that isn't really functional at all. Finally there is a speedster hump that attaches behind the seats. In the pics it is just resting on top of the tonneau. It actually fits snug and looks good. The upholstery is in good shape but there is no carpet. A carpet kit and all other pieces for this car are easily gotten and not expensive. Finally, I am including an extra set of wide 5 10 slot wheels because I know not everyone likes the orange Empis. I have to move by August 15th so I need to sell this and have it gone by then. I am going NO RESERVE so hopefully I will not need to list it twice. Do not bid and then disappear. Call me with any questions 410 215 5977. Attention Canadians, this car registers as a 68 VW, so you can import it easily. It is a VW pan and not a tube frame. You won't find a Speedster for low money anymore, they are going up, so get this one now while it is still a deal, do some work and earn some profit. Denis |

Petrolicious studies the purity of a Porsche 911 2.7 RS
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Water-cooled Porsches are superior to the old, air-cooled models. This really isn't up for debate, despite the mob of Porsche purists, with pitchforks and torches in hand, currently descending on the Autoblog offices. Water-cooled models are more powerful and easier to live with, two factors that make modern Porsches just so darn amazing.
And while we won't hear arguments on anything we've written above, we will say that the old air-cooled models, while not superior, are just, somehow, better. They sound better - a lot better. They're simple, elemental and wildly entertaining things, that just beg for more and more. They rev in a way that forces drivers to work to unlock their power, rather than just push their right foot down. Part of the appeal of air-cooled Porsches, in addition to what we just listed, are the gorgeous cars they're slotted into, like the subject of the latest video from Petrolicious.
Starring a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, this video is a bit shorter than recent ones, but it's no less exciting. This 911, complete with it's sweet-sounding exhaust is the kind of simple, entertaining thing we can watch over and over. Scroll down for the full video.
Magnus Walker pops up again, this time with his Irish Green 911
Sun, 06 Oct 2013He was the subject of a short film called Urban Outlaw. He has been on Jay Leno's Garage. Twice. He even graced the cover of Road & Track in June. And after all of that, he appeared in a video by Hong Kong-based Silly Thing. So it isn't really surprising that Magnus Walker is at the center of attention in the latest video from XCAR, but it's surprising - and a treat - to see his mostly original Irish Green 1966 Porsche 911.
Powered by an air-cooled 2.0-liter flat six with 130 horsepower (more like 120 hp today, Walker says), riding on 5.5-inch wide wheels and turned with a wooden steering wheel, the little green 911 does represent some of the best aspects of classic car motoring.
Head on below to watch the long-form video on Walker and his Porsche, but if your time is limited, you're not missing much if you call it quits at five minutes - especially if you've seen his aforementioned videos before.
Porsche Macan teaser reveals unique quad-LEDs
Fri, 11 Oct 2013In truth, all-but-undisguised prototypes for the upcoming Porsche Macan compact crossover have been spotted galavanting all around the globe for some time now, but even the least-camouflaged examples have been caught wearing eyepatches covering their headlights and taillights. A dark new teaser image from Porsche clues us in to why that is - the baby Cayenne is getting unique quad-LED peepers up front.
Porsche has been hinting at lighting innovations in its production cars through recent concept reveals, including the stunning Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo showcar from last year's Paris Motor Show. The wagonized Panamera also featured four-point LED arrays up front, as well is in the rear, so it seems likely that this lighting will become a Porsche design signature going forward.
Powerpoint slides leaked from a recent dealer meeting suggest the Macan S will arrive packing a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, while the Macan Turbo will boast a 3.6-liter force-fed unit, with both models receiving seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearboxes. Pricing is expected to range from $52,000 for the S model to $75,000 for the Turbo.
