1957 Porsche 356a Speedster Repica on 2040-cars
San Antonio, Texas, United States
|
This is a garage kept, 1957 Porsche 356A
speedster replica. It was factory built by Vintage Speedsters out of Hawaiian
Gardens California, in 2000. The odometer on this vehicle is metric, at 20,091
kilometers or approximately 12400 miles. I have owned this car for five years
and conducted routine maintenance, as well as many mechanical and cosmetic
upgrades; most notably, improved paint, brakes and exhaust. This car is driven
routinely, but only in optimal conditions, approximately once a week, on days
off, with good weather. I will provide a full maintenance history for whom ever
purchases this car. Scheduled maintenance was conducted
routinely every 3000 miles like clockwork. The engine is spotless, with no grease or oil spills. The oil in the case is clear, clean and near translucent.
Power Plant: 1600 cc air cooled, Volkswagen engine, with dual carbs which produce about 90 HP (an original Porsche 356 would only produce about 75 HP ), with a 4-speed manual transmission. Unlike the originals, this car possesses a beefed up suspension, 12 volt electrical (as opposed to 6 volt) and disc brakes. It is reliable, safe and fun to drive. New upgraded wooden Nardi steering wheel, driving lights, mesh stone guards, Authentic Badging (from Stoddard), Original Porsche Crested Super Hub Caps (from Stoddard), with leather rally hood straps that mimic James Dean’s “Lil Bastard” 550S. The total value for the fore mentioned upgrades is at $2600 installed, with an additional $2200 for the improved paint and clear coat. The convertible
top is in average condition and hardly used. Some wear is apparent, and one snap is broken. If you anticipate using the top
routinely, I would replace it at some point, but it is not urgent and is fully
functional. As there is some wear on it, and the rest of the car is pristine,
the wear on the top becomes noticeable to an observant eye, but not obvious.
(see photos) The previous owner had never used the convertible top, and I have
never taken it out in the rain. Effectively, I put the top up for the photos to
show the completeness of the car. It has upgraded canvas side curtains, as opposed to Vinyl,
as well as an 8 ply, water proof cover, black leatherette interior with the
original coco-mats and authentic, period correct, seat belts ordered from Stoddard Air Cooled
Porsche. It is very difficult to tell this car apart from the originals. I
have inadvertently fooled Porsche owners at shows.I have
priced this car to sell at $22700.00, well below similar vehicles with fewer
upgrades. The gear box works fantastically,
with no synchro problems or reverse "pop out." It drives smooth and
strong. It’s just a fantastic car to drive, and a magnet for attention. It is
not uncommon for people to stop and take photos of her. I cruise @ 70mph
without any problems. She can go faster, but it’s more fun to cruise. You don’t
have to get there first, but you will look better than everyone else upon your
arrival. Very fun to valet. This vehicle is represented as accurately as possible. Potential buyers, please feel free to ask any further questions or make photo requests not included in the ad.

2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.
Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.
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.
