Greetings!

What we have for sale this Tuesday morning is a 1960 Porsche 356B Single-Grill Drauz Roadster. This car is a first-year Roadster, and we are the second official owners and have owned the car since 1979, purchased in New Hampshire. The car is currently in Grass Valley, CA.

Most of the rust repair work is done but the car still needs longitudinals, the rear seat pans replaced and some pieces near the rear suspension center section welded in. We have all of the necessary metal repair pieces and they are included with the sale. See photos for parts or call/email.

The car rolls and steers fine but has no brakes. Several parts have been placed on the car but are not bolted perfectly into place, like the brake pedal cluster.

All pieces in the photos are included with the sale, including five European heater exhaust exchangers and many parts from other 356's we've worked on in the past.

The transmission matches the Certificate of Authenticity but the engine is a few numbers off. All mounted panels are the originals except the passenger door but the original passenger door is included in the sale, however it is in rough shape.

The windshield is also included but I neglected to get a picture of it. The installed Mangle chrome wheels and Pirelli P6 tires are my rain wheel set for my race car, and can be exchanged for a set of original Porsche 356B wheels and tires, if desired.

I have the California title, clear and in my name, ready to sign over.

I will help as much as possible with shipping arrangements for any overseas winner. The port of Oakland, CA is about two and a half hours away.

Sold as-is. I encourage all interested parties to view the car in person or call for more information. Full payment in hand required before the car leaves my property.

Good Luck and Happy Best-Offering!

thanks,

bill

New J.D. Power Initial Quality Study puts Porsche, GM in spotlight

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

J.D. Power and Associates has released its annual Initial Quality Study, and this year, Porsche and General Motors took the spotlight. The study, which asks new car owners to report problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership, found that overall, the industry averages 113 problems per 100 vehicles.
Porsche managed a score of just 80 problems per 100 vehicles, while GMC took the second spot on the podium with 90. Lexus filled out the top three with 94 problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Infiniti at 95 and Chevrolet at 97. The study also looks at specific models, and found the Lexus LS to enjoy the best initial quality at 59 problems per 100 vehicles.
Interestingly enough, the report found that around two-thirds of most owner problems experienced in the first 90 days are attributable to vehicle design instead of mechanical failure. Specifically - echoing a refrain we've been hearing for the last few years - owners are having a hard time figuring out how to use the technology present in their new vehicles. Head over to the J.D. Power site for more information, or scroll down below for the company's related press release.

Jay Leno welcomes finely rebuilt Porsche 356 into his garage

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

Not a month after the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer visited Jay Leno's garage, another artfully restored Porsche has rolled in. This time it's a 1957 Porsche 356A Outlaw, the "outlaw" moniker referring to Porsches that have been restored outside the bounds of period-correct orthodoxy.
This 356A was literally done from the ground up by Michigander Chuck Olenyk, the floor of the car having fallen apart so badly that he couldn't remove the roof at first since it was holding the vehicle together. Olenyk said that of the 2000 hours over seven years that he spent restoring the car, 500 were spent just on repairing the rust. That's undoubtedly some of the reason why when he tried to sell the unrestored car as a roller in the nineties for $1,000, no one would take it off his hands.
Olenyk fitted a mildly tuned engine from a Porsche 912, the transmission from a 356B, the brakes from a 356C, Fuchs mags and a modified replicar Speedster roof from Intermecchnica. It lacks nothing even with just 115 horsepower, and it adds to that with charm and aural appeal. You can see and hear the full story in the video below.
