You are bidding on a two owner, early Intermeccanica, factory assembled, Speedster (S/N 339). It has German square weave carpet and speedster bucket seats with carpet backing, as was done with

the original Porsche cars. The vehicle's gelcoat is worn in places having a patina that makes it look old, as does the faded Hartz cloth top. The engine is a 1600 dual port with a 2 barrel Webber carburetor

in the center. It has drum brakes all the way around, but comes with a disc brake kit for front and rear drilled for 5 stud, 911/912 Fuchs pattern wheels. It has a well fitted tonneau, a bra and an additional

brand new Hartz cloth top as part of the package. It has a set of 4 new tires. As shown in the photos, it has black Porsche 912 instrumentation, but comes with an early 912 chrome set as well, so one

can have it either way. I also have a spare windshield which fits it. Although a couple of photos show dual exhaust, it currently is fitted with a Bursch extractor system. The VIN reflects a VW, ball joint,

swing axel undercarriage, actual year for which has never been established.

It is a simple, reliable, rugged, no-rust vehicle that one can drive and park without having concerns over doors being dinged and the body getting dented. It is a fun driving machine and most practical

way to have a "take anywhere" Speedster. I drive this and leave my collector cars in the garage. :)

Touring Italy in a classic Porsche will have you feeling continental

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

It's hard to believe there was a time when a Porsche 911 didn't come to market with 400 horsepower. But as the latest video from Petrolicious reminds us, with this video of a 1968 911T, owned by Donato Maniscalco, that time wasn't so long ago.
You might think, being a distinguished man living in Italy, Maniscalco would be more enthused by a Ferrari, Maserati, or Lamborghini, but in reality, it was always Porsche that enamored the Italian as a boy. And it was that passion that led him to purchase the glorious 911T he's seen tossing about in this video.
Maniscalco goes into detail about what makes the old 911 such a legend, while also mentioning how he and the car participate in classic rallies and races. There's also some typically beautiful footage of the Italian countryside, as well. So take a look below for the latest video from Petrolicious.

Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.

Raiding The Porsche Museum For A Fun Track Day
It seems everyone is celebrating anniversaries this year: it's Aston's hundredth, Lamborghini's fiftieth, Ford Mustang's fiftieth, Chevy Corvette's sixtieth - and Tesla just turned ten or something. It's been a little out of hand, frankly, all these forced marketing festivities, but if we had to pick one milestone to really celebrate hard and party all night, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of our list.
Get ready for a major 911 blowout bash at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. It was on September 12 back in 1963 at this very show where Porsche unveiled its "901" painted in a rather boring shade of beige. Though drably finished, the car caused a worldwide frenzy in the budding German sports car sphere.
