|
Original California Black Plate, 1963 Porsche 356B Super Cabriolet This Porsche 356 has been completely restored. The car is a stunning investment grade vehicle that is appreciating at a fast rate. I bought this California car from the 2nd owner, had have driven it for years and recently restored it (original owner only owned the car for 9 months in 1963/64). The engine has 25k miles on it since we rebuilt it. Not only is the car gorgeous, it's a superbly running and handling ride. The car has been professionally restored top to bottom:
The car bottom is original with the original undercoat in many areas (we have not recoated it so you can see it); Rockers & jack area are clean, battery box was replaced a decade ago and has no rust. The steering wheel and horn have not been replaced or redone because they look cool worn a bit though the entire dash has been restored. Engine p*703519*: Porsche 356 Super though we upped the cylinders to 1740 cc's, and powered painted all sheet metal and finished off with the original water transfer decals. The engine has 25k miles on it since its being rebuilt starts first time, and runs like a top! Trans: 4 speed original Paint : Silver Porsche code, two stage with the best clear coat on the market. Interior: Black interior upholstery with charcoal square weave German carpet. Soft top: Black with haring bone headliner. Wheels: Chrome rims with Porsche hub caps (not original) with steal belted tires in good condition. I have owned a number of 356's over the years and I restore them to look great but be reliable classic you can actually drive and have fun with! Each has sold quickly because of the quality we do AutoMagic Network.com. All of my cars are meant to be driven and used though there are meticulously done. We own a body shop in Hermosa Beach Ca. and we also own a detail shop so this car has been well taken care of. What it needs, if you want: The letter "S" (for Super) could be put on the car (we have it in the glove box). Steering box is a little sticky and could be rebuilt or replaced ( I have replacement seals). Few chrome bolts on the sets brackets should be replaced because the original chrome tops are worn and the replacements have flat heads ( I don't like that). A piece of dust got is in the paint on the drives side quarter panel which should be color sanded or blended ( Porsche Silver). Interior light and cigarette lighter needs to be hooked up. Bonuses: The car has a complete tool kit with mostly original tools; Porsche name plate under hood has been re-plated in nickel and looks amazing; 356 shop manual, Owners manual/book, Extra electrical/mechanical parts, Original tube radio with original speaker covers and new speakers are included. Complete file on the car with receipts from the last decade. This is a stunning investment-grade example of a rare and desirable 356 model.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
Autocar pits Porsche 911 Turbo S against Formula 4 racer
Fri, 20 Jun 2014There is a long-running argument among performance car fans: power vs. weight. In one corner you get cars generally with small engines making modest numbers but able to corner like they are telepathic, and in the other there are big thumping mills that are rocketships in a straight line but lumber in the turns. Autocar takes an interesting look this continuum in a recent video pitting a 552-hp Porsche 911 Turbo S against a 185-hp Formula 4 racecar. It hopes to find whether the Porsche's huge power advantage is enough to defeat the better grip and aero offered by the nimble racer.
There's no doubt that the Porsche is an utterly fantastic road car. The 911 Turbo looks mean with all of those intakes to suck in cool air, and it backs up the posture with huge amounts of grip available thanks to its all-wheel drive-system. However, at 3,538 pounds, it's a bit of a porker compared to the 1,135-pound Formula 4 car. The open-wheel car boasts just a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder from Ford and a six-speed sequential-manual gearbox, but it has loads of downforce to make up for it.
It shouldn't be a surprise that the formula car wins in the corners. After all, that's what it's made for. So do you think the massive horsepower superiority of the Porsche is enough to even the playing field? Scroll down to watch the video and find out, and even if you're not curious of the winner the 911 does some mean powerslides.
Porsche 911 celebrates 50 years of iconic motoring
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Back in 1963, Porsche debuted the very first 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And over the last 50 years, that coupe has grown to become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. That in mind, you could easily chalk up this 50th Anniversary model as just one of the many special edition 911s that have graced our roads over the years, but dig a bit deeper and you'll see that this one is far more than just some unique paint and different wheels.
For starters, the 911 50th Anniversary Edition utilizes the wider Carrera 4/4S body, but retains its standard rear-wheel-drive configuration. Power comes from the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six engine, but features a Powerkit upgrade that includes the Sport Chrono package and ups overall output to 400 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 3.8 seconds if the car is fitted with Porsche's dual-clutch PDK gearbox, or 4.2 seconds if you choose the row-your-own seven-speed manual. Talk about going Over The Hill with a quickness.
Despite looking pretty tame, we're really hot on the appearance of this special 911, with its throwback flat gray paint job and new 20-inch wheels that look remarkably similar to the original Fuchs alloys of the 1963 model. Inside, you'll find green lettering on the instrument displays, white pointer needles and silver accents, and the leather seats have a fabric insert that's similar to the Pepita cloth from the original 911.
