1957 PORSCHE 356A SPEEDSTER FACTORY BUILT BY VINTAGE SPEEDSTER, ORIGINAL OWNER WITH ONLY 21K ORIGINAL MILES. This beautiful little 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster Replica is an absolute blast to drive. Factory built by Vintage Speedsters out of California (The Number One builder of Porsche Speedster Replicas.) They are a California company that has built 90% of all of the Porsche Speedster replicas on the market and their quality is TOP FLIGHT! Vintage Speedsters uses a custom built, jig welded 2”x4” 11 gauge steel frame. This rigid new structure retains the original VW pan designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and integrates the largest frame possible. While the original Speedsters are certainly a rare breed, these Vintage Speedster replicas are rare in their own right with roughly only 3000 built. This one owner car was built in 2009. Even hard core Porsche enthusiasts would be easily fooled that this is not the real deal worth well over $100,000. These Vintage Speedster replicas are an amazing value and a blast to drive.  The body is in excellent condition and the paint still looks new. Body panel fit is fantastic and the doors on this car open and shut like a new Porsche. All of the chrome trim, badges, and glass look great. The black canvas convertible top is in great condition and is easy to put up or down as well as side windows that insert easily and a boot cover that give this car a very clean look when installed. The tan colored interior is a nice contrast to the black exterior and is in like new condition. All of the gauges, lights and turn signals are working correctly. A Beautiful wood steering wheel and a great sounding Sony Am/Fm/CD stereo with MP3/I-pod hook up, Kenwood amplifier and Alpine speakers add a nice touch to the interior. If needed this Speedster also has heat for those cool fall drives through the mountains. In the exceptionally clean engine compartment sits an upgraded 1915 cc, dual carb air cooled Volkswagen motor with 15 more horsepower than the stock 1600 cc motor and you can definitely feel it at the higher rpm range. The power is backed up by an upgraded 3:88 4-speed (Freeway Flyer.) transmission that shifts smoothly and takes this little roadster up to speed quickly and the front disc brakes will bring you back to a safe stop. Maintenance is affordable and any reputable auto repair shop should be able to handle the maintenance. The Undercarriage is clean and solid.

Driving the million-mile Porsche 356

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

Maybe you've seen or heard about the Porsche 356 with almost one-million miles (though it doesn't look like it), but Petrolicious finally has produced a video to show us what it's like to drive the 982,000-mile car. Guy Newmark's beautiful, dark-blue 1964 356C looks great in motion - much better than in photos - and serves to remind us not only what meticulous car care can do for old classics, but that old Porsches were built to last.
So how fastidious is Newmark about maintaining it? He takes the car to his mechanic of 40 years every 3,000 miles for an oil change and to fix anything that needs attention.
Newmark says his 356 "is everything you could want," and that he finds errands to do just to go drive it. We would, too. The next-best thing is to watch the inspiring video below of the well-traveled Porsche.

Audi RS7 vs. Porsche Panamera Turbo, which would you pick? [w/poll]

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

We live in a blessed time - a time when you can buy not just one, but two (or three, or four) monstrously powerful, blazingly fast four-doors that can't only keep up with modern supercars, but in some instances, will outperform them as well. Two of the finest are the Audi RS7 and the refreshed Porsche Panamera Turbo, and Motor Trend has been messing around with the both of them in this comparison video.
MT provides a comprehensive and entertaining look at the RS7 and the turbocharged Panamera as they go through a battery of tests, before getting tossed about on both the road and the track. Starring flip-flop aficionado Jonny Lieberman, it's a must-watch, whether you're in the market for one of the two super sedans or merely want to see the former Autoblog editor again.
After having a look at the video, register a vote for the car you'd park in your driveway in our poll. Hop below for the full video from the team at Motor Trend.

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you

Fri, 03 May 2013

The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
