1964 Porsche 356 SC Cabriolet - 1 Owner 

My dad served in the USAF in Hamburg, Germany. He bought his first Porsche 356, a super 90 in 1963. One day while traveling along the countryside in Germany a car pulled out in front of him causing a T-bone crash.  My father's super 90 was totaled and he was forced to buy another Porsche.  At that point the SC Cabriolet had just been offered and he said he really wanted a one because of the 12volt system, more engine horsepower and overall more refined car.  At that time in late 64 the SC's on a lot in Germany were sold before they were delivered.  My dad patiently waited to find one without any luck.  Until one day, he got a call from the local Porsche dealers owner offering to sell him his own dealer demo. My dad jumped on it and purchased this cabriolet July 6th, 1965 (49 years ago).   My dad used to race it in Germany as a hobby (view photos).

My father gave me this porsche and unfortunately I am selling it to buy a house.  It has been a long thought out process and an incredibly difficult decision but I believe it is in my best interest to sell this car and move in a different direction for myself and my future.  We have received notes ever since I was a kid asking if we would sell the car, for the very first time it is for sale and will be sold!!

The car runs, drives and can be driven in its current state but I would recommend taking the plunge and restoring this piece of history. 

The original color is Irish Green but was painted Ruby Red in the 80s when my dad wanted a color change 


Matching Engine and Transmission #'s 
Engine: 820112
Transmission: 70760 (741/0)
The Motor/Transmission and drivetrain were all been rebuilt in the early 2000's and have been driven a limited amount since. 
Runs and drives and clutch is very sticky and transmission feels good.


Interior
Black interior - front seats need recovering and rears look good just need a solid cleaning
Windshield wipers work, blinkers, tachometer, speedometer, odometer, horn, radio all work.  
There is a vertical crack in the windshield glass.
Carpet is dirty, rough and could use replacement
Interior door panels are in great shape, the windows roll up and down easily.
Locks lock from inside and outside.

Body and Rust
Body is in ok shape, the front end has had some work on it and the last body man welded a couple plates on it so you could pull it out and straighten it.  There are dents and rust.  The rust is on both driver/passenger lower front fender, drivers front floor pan, some misc areas on the floors, front clip by front head lights and misc other spots.  For the best results fixing it would be a rotisserie restoration.
Underbody has some dents and rust - view photos

Top
Convertible - needs replacement but the actual frame is in good condition and locks against windshield frame tight
Hardtop is included - no rear glass except the rear windshield (new rear glass) 

Misc
Additional parts are included (view photos to see extra parts that are pictured) - spare tire we have and is included included

 
Paperwork
I have every record that this car has ever had and the stack is huge! Everything is in chronological order and it was serviced and maintained by some of the greatest shops in the country.   Also included is the original black/white Colorado Title from 1965 and a Colorado Bill of Sale.

Front Clip
The only reason the front clip headlamps, bumper and misc parts have been removed is because my dad almost had a complete restoration started in 2003 but parked it instead in a heated garage due to a passing in the family. It sat in this heated facility for the last 9 years until 2 months ago when I pulled it out and took it to a local specialist to rebuild the carbs, drain the fluids and get it running again.  It is running great but needs to be driven to clean out the engine.  Each week since I got it back from the shop I have been starting it and driving it around the block but due to lack of headlamps, no current tags I can only drive a limited amount. 

Extras:
Hardtop and new rear glass for hardtop
356 3ring binder (shop manual)
Owners manual etc


This 356 would be a great candidate for a full restoration, addition to your collection or store it and let it continue to appreciate in value.    
  
Overall:
This is a beautiful Porsche 356 Classic.  It would make the perfect weekend warrior, beach cruiser or addition to your collection.  The Porsche is used, needs a restoration and 50 years old.  It is hard to capture all the blemishes and areas that need attention but it is a perfect restoration candidate.  I am not a Porsche specialist so I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the 356.  The car is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees.  I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado.

Shipping:
If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643.  Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery.  He helped me ship a few vehicles back to Colorado from other areas in the country. 

Conclusion:
A $1000 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal.  All sales are final.  The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time.  Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer.  I have sold multiple cars on ebay and can provide references if necessary.  I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this car is listed for sale locally as well.

If you have any questions or would like to know anything more or make an offer feel free to calling or texting.  #720-295-3372

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 [w/video]

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The Bearable Lightness Of Being
Start with a standard Porsche 911 Carrera and its 350-horsepower, 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Bore a crepe-thin slice of aluminum from each cylinder to get to 3.8 liters, add a wider track out back and two extra exhaust pipes and voila, you can append an S to the Carrera's name. Hang two sets of wet, multi-disc clutches along its spine and you can make that a 4, or a 4S. Bolt on two forced-induction compressors and piping, add two fender vents and comically wide rear tires and you've redeemed your ticket to a Turbo. Increase the boost pressure and swell the corral to 560 horses and you have the Turbo S, which is the Virginia Slims of the 911 line-up because it's come a long way, baby.
Or you can go in a different direction. At that second stop, grab the 3.8-liter and cart it over to the engineers at Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany. If racing were meat, they would be among the alpha carnivores. The baseboards in their homes are probably painted with miniature billboards for motor oil and vintage cigarettes along the straights, red-and-white stripes around every corner.

Remembering Porsche's illustrious Le Mans history

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

Not only does this weekend mark the running of the 82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans, it will also see the return of one of the race's most venerable brands to the top tiers of endurance racing. Porsche will campaign its first top-flight car since the 1998 911 GT1-98, the 919 Hybrid, at this weekend's race, in the hopes of knocking off its corporate rival, the dominant Audi team.
To understand just what a win for the 919 would mean, though, you need to look back on the intrinsic connection between the Circuit de la Sarthe and Porsche. It's a history that spans decades, dating back to the team's first win in 1970.
XCar has a great video on that history. At 25 minutes, it's a bit on the long side. Then again it is the Friday before Le Mans. Take a look below for the video.

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911 with some excellent pics

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic sports cars of all time, and to celebrate the car's first 50 years, Porsche has released a stunning set of photos showing how far the 911 has come from the original back in 1963 to its current 991 generation. Unlike the recent 60-year photo spread that Chevrolet put together for the Corvette, though, Porsche's gallery only shows the original 911 and the current car.
Each time the 911 is redesigned, the car's front fenders, roofline and the shape of the side windows are key focal points. Even some of the interior cues have remained the same over the years, including the positioning of the ignition key on the left of the steering column and the five-gauge instrument cluster layout.
Scroll down for Porsche's press release breaking down the seven generations of the 911, and be sure to check out our gallery with plenty of high-res pics for you to download as a desktop wallpaper. In fact, we're providing these at 1920-pixels-wide instead of our usual 1280 wide. Enjoy!
