You are looking at a custom built recreation of the 1948 Porsche 356-1 known as "No1". Only one original 1948 356-01 was built and now resides at the "Porsche Museum" in Stuttgart, Germany. The value of this first Porsche is priceless. Regarding our listed vehicle here our original investment and creation of our 356-1 replicar was by the means of "Vintage Replicar" which has been creating original replicar's of the "No1" for over six years. We are not associated with any other company and or builder. We are the only company that builds/resto the "Type356-1" in the world. We take orders for those who want a specific color etc. This listing is for our existing demo car and is privately owned and an incentive for those who don't want to wait to have a car built.

This custom built 1948 356-1(resto/replica) is finished in Porsche silver, red leather and German oatmeal carpet. This 356-1 sports a brand new dual carb 1915cc horizontally opposed air cooled boxer engine. Only weighing aprox 1350 lbs it moves out just fine. We chose a tall fourth gear 4 speed transmission for enjoyable freeway driving. The transmission is maneuvered by a custom built steel shifter for consistent throws. Steering is from original parts that give it an authentic 356 feel. This vehicle registers in virtually all countries and all US States due to the original Vin # pan chassis used during this resto/build. This car was built with serious attention to detail and quality. Paint and body quality is valued around $9,800. We feel our build/resto is one of the highest builds possible. We feel between the build quality and the uniqueness gives it great value and collectibility. Nearly all parts of this fine machine had to be custom made or designed by us. Virtually all parts are NOT interchangeable with the "Speedster". Please do not confuse this beautiful recreation as a "Speedster" since Speedster's were built between 1954-1958 and the 356-1 originated in 1948 (Grandfather). More info can be found by visiting 356-1 dot com Expect many heads to turn because the attention this beautiful car gets is amazing.....Why?

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus

Porsche, Hyundai and GM impress in J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, Fiat and Jeep don't

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Consumers continue to struggle with the advanced user interfaces and technologies being fitted to new cars, according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Study. Overall, the industry average for problems per 100 vehicles climbed three percent, to 116 issues reported in the first 90 days of ownership.
Vehicles from the General Motors' family were dominant, with Buick, Chevrolet and GMC capturing more individual IQS segment awards than any other manufacturer. Despite its well-publicized issues, six GM vehicles (Buick Encore, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevy Silverado HD, Chevy Suburban, GMC Terrain and GMC Yukon) were given IQS awards for their respective segments.
Hyundai was ranked the best overall mass-market brand, with just 94 issues in every 100 vehicles reported in the first 90 days. Parent Hyundai Motor Company, meanwhile, trailed GM with five vehicles winning their segments, including the Hyundai Accent, Elantra and Genesis, as well as the Kia Cadenza and Sportage.
