1960 PORSCHE SUPER Black on Black Roadster Cabriolet Original California Yellow Plate Car I purchased my Porsche 356 SUPER at the prestigious Monterey Classics about 15 years ago. It started out as a very straight original Californian restoration. A very fine example of what I was looking for. I always wanted a 1960 Porsche Cabriolet in Black and with this car being so straight and un-molested, I knew I could achieve my dream car with this one. Over the years, I improved on this car by having the motor rebuilt by Elite Automotive, a highly respectable engine builder of high end cars. The "SUPER engine differs from the normal engines by higher performance and greater torque". I spent close to $15k for the build (see invoices) Total Engine rebuild which include opening all oil ports for better oil flow and adding an external oil filter for better dependability. Inside the car: The Leather Interior is in excellent condition as well as the Carpet, Seats with added Head Rests, Fold Down rear seats, Headliner, Door Panels, CoCo Floor Mats and Stay Fast Cloth Convertible Top. All Interior Chrome in excellent condition as well. All gauges work. Radio and Clock stopped working. My friend next door with his CNC machine shop built a beautiful billet aluminum radio bezel to replace the cracked plastic original bezel. It complements the Nardi Aluminum Spoke wood steering wheel nicely. Exterior: I took my Porsche to an Old School Painter named Jav. He paints cars that include old classic Porsches, Ferraris and Lamborghinis. He takes only one car at a time and the duration is about 6 months to completion. Everything was stripped from the car. On my Porsche he stripped the entire exterior of all the paint using just a single sided razor blade! He expanded why. He said this curvaceous body has no flat panels so why use a long straight edge to strip paint and risk damage to the curves? It made sense, but very time consuming as he didn’t use paint stripper as well to prevent contamination to the paint. He would then lightly hand sand the car down perfectly smooth. Painted with a high Quality paint in Porsche Raven Black with several coats of color sanded Glasso Clear to give it debt. The paint on my car is flawless! All the panels were painted off the car and realigned to leave perfect spaced door gaps to the Hood, Trunk and both Doors. (see pics) In the front storage compartment you will find the original floor jack, New 12V Bosch battery and convertible top boot. All is detailed (see pics) The Engine Compartment is detailed as well as under the car. The original Floor Pan is very nice with no damage or rust repair. One of the main reasons I purchased a California Original. I have a folder of receipts of improvements I made to the car over the years. This car needs nothing. My car drives straight and smooth and doesn’t miss a beat with the engine. It runs perfect with no room to improve on it. All shifting linkage is tight with replaced shifter bushings. New Tires and Chrome on the wheels and caps are excellent. There is absolutly nothing needed for this car except for maybe replacing the original internals in the radio and upgrading the clock to a Quartz movement. I occasionally take it out for a ride on nice days and it gets it share of compliments and looks. You will be hard pressed to find a better 1960 Porsche Super than this one. Happy bidding! NOTE: Both Original Yellow Plates are in excellant condition. If you see any white spots on the paint (one being on the edge of the rear deck lid) they are reflections. Please look at other angles of the same location. There is absolutly No SCRATCHES, CHIPS or SCUFF MARKS on this car. Paint was completed last month. I am selling a used car so car is sold as is where is with no warranties implied or given. Pickup is the buyer’s responsibility. I will assist in any way possible. Car can be delivered locally to a transit company for International shipping. I recommend for you to come and see the car, you won’t be disappointed. It’s much nicer looking in person. Pictures do it no justice. 10% deposit is required within 48 hours of end of auction. Balance is to be paid in full within 10 days.
                                                                                                     |

Porsche 918 Spyder gets tiny recall for rear control arms
Tue, 09 Sep 2014As the recent US recall of a single Koenigsegg Agera shows, even low-production supercars aren't immune from safety campaigns. Now, there's another example that even the fastest cars can have their faults. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a pretty fantastic vehicle for its ability to mix hybrid fuel economy and incredible amounts of power, but Porsche has a problem on a few units of its halo model.
According to the recall document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche needs to inspect and possibly repair five 918s in the US because the rear axle control arms may break, which could cause a loss of control while driving. In the full defect notice, Porsche says that it first noticed the problem on June 26 when the parts failed during "heavy duty durability testing (extreme race conditions)" at the Nardo test track in Italy. It transported the components back to the company's lab for inspection, and on July 18 it issued a stop-sale to inspect the suspension parts on the supercar. The automaker also contacted owners by phone to warn them not to use the car on track, until repaired.
The affected 918s will be inspected, and if the cars have the bad parts, the control arms are will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. According to a Porsche spokesperson speaking to Autoblog, in addition to the five US cars potentially affected, there were 45 worldwide. All of the cars have now been checked.

Porsche 911 GT3 dukes it out with MP4-12C on track and GT-R on spectacular roads
Thu, 22 Aug 2013The Porsche 911 GT3 has always been a favorite among auto journalists and car enthusiasts alike, but with the introduction of the new 991-generation GT3, which is the first GT3 with electric power steering and no manual gearbox option, how does it stack up to the competition from McLaren and Nissan?
Evo's Jethro Bovingdon attempts to answer that question by pitting the rear-engine Porsche against the mid-engine McLaren MP4-12C on a racetrack and the front-engine, all-wheel-drive Nissan GT-R on some amazing, twisty European back roads. We won't give away the victor of either comparison, but we will say that, in Evo's test, the McLaren's 141-horsepower advantage doesn't give it as much of an edge over the Porsche on a racetrack as one might think, and the lack of a manual gearbox and the inclusion of electric power steering on the GT3 isn't detrimental to enjoying the car on a back road.
Watch the video below to find out which car Bovingdon prefers on road and track - we think you'll be happy to see him drift around turns every chance he gets.
Chris Harris condemns demonization of Porsche Carrera GT in wake of Walker death
Fri, 06 Dec 2013When something bad happens, it's easy to resort to scapegoating. At least for some of us, that seems to be exactly what has happened following the tragic death of actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas, who were killed on November 30 in a Porsche Carrera GT. Even though officials have not yet determined the cause of the crash, that isn't stopping many theories from being put for - theories that include blaming the Porsche supercar. Rather predictably, not only is the CGT's difficult nature getting examined, but indeed, the nature of all high-performance cars is being put under the public's microscope, with some wondering what the need for all the power is.
A Google search of "Porsche Carrera GT" will find no shortage of articles about the razor-sharp handling and outright speed of the CGT. Pistonheads' Chris Harris has a different, insightful take on both the Carrera GT and the nature of all fast cars. He reflects on the matter, ironically, en route to drive the successor to the car that killed Walker and Rodas, the 900-horsepower 918 Spyder hybrid supercar.
We think it's well worth a read, as it makes a number of good points about modern high-performance automobiles and the way they're used. Click over and take a look.
