Up for sale is my 1965 C Sunroof Coupe, with electric sunroof, original California car, registration shows the car was originally sold and tagged in 1965 in California. The last production year of the 356, best of the 356s with disc brakes and better driveability than earlier models, this car having the hard to find electric sunroof option. Registration shows car resided in Los Angeles until just recently. Super solid pans, the pans are original to the car and look good with no rust or perforations. All jack points are solid with no rust as well and longitudinals are excellent. Battery box has one slit about 7 inches long but otherwise is excellent. Doors close well with the characteristic Porsche "thunk" and hood and engine lid close neatly and evenly as well. Electric sunroof opens and closes with factory mounted switch under left side of dash. The sunroof appears as though it could use a little adjustment judging from the paint scraped off on top of the sunroof but it does open and close. Original color was dolphin grey as can be seen on the underside of the doors. Car was repainted many years ago metallic blue. Paint has scratches but has a nice shine to it. Can be driven as it is until restoration is undertaken to return the car to its original color, if so desired. Interior is original, original carpeting, original seats and headliner. All showing some wear but nice to find one with the original interior as it came from the factory. Speedometer, odometer, tachometer and gas gauge and oil pressure light all work. Engine runs very well and "takes the gas". This is a non-numbers matching car and the engine has a third piece that is not stamped. The third piece of the engine is blank. Clutch and transmission are fine. All new shift bushings were installed and the car shifts through all 4 forward gears well and cleanly as does reverse. All 4 brake calipers were removed from the car, were then totally disassembled and cleaned with solvent and brake cleaner and high pressure air. Then they were media blasted and painted high temperature silver. Each caliper was then rebuilt with new seals and dust covers and then installed. New rubber brake lines were installed on each wheel. The car stops evenly and on a "dime". Since the car sat for so many years (last registration is 1976), the gas tank was not usable since the gasoline had turned to varnish. A new tank was ordered from Stoddards Porsche parts and installed along with a new fuel shutoff valve. Also new correct rubber fuel lines were installed. The engine runs without hesitation and there is no worries that sediment or dirt will get into the fuel system of the car. With a quick turn of the ignition switch the car starts right up and you are ready to drive off almost immediately. Here is a link to over 150 pictures of the car: Here are some videos of the car: with the engine running and being revved: http://youtu.be/injNWpX1a7k some short test drives: Title in hand, we are a licensed and bonded and insured auto dealer in North Carolina.

Porsche Cayman GT4 speeds back into view
Tue, 18 Nov 2014We're all familiar with the succession of numbers that follow the letters GT on a hard-core Porsche 911: the GT1 that was Stuttgart's Le Mans contender in the late 90s, the GT2 that packs turbochargers but without the Turbo's all-wheel drive and excess weight, and the naturally aspirated GT3 that's the enthusiast's choice. But a GT4? That's something new, and exactly what Porsche has in store.
Spied testing in Germany once again is the upcoming GT4 version of the Porsche Cayman, set to supersede the existing GTS and take the place of the previous Cayman R at the top of Porsche's junior sports car range. This latest batch of spy shots doesn't show us much more than the last crop, but gives us a much clearer view at what promises to be the most hardcore Cayman to date.
As you can see, the Cayman GT4 packs a much more aggressive aero kit and rolling stock than any version we've seen to date. It's got a lip spoiler, big air dam and GT3-style vent in front of the hood, deep air scoops along the flanks, a set of spindly alloys packing oversized brakes, a diffuser with twin central exhaust tips around back and a rear wing that's likely to be replaced with a sleeker unit before the GT4 reaches production.
Mercedes-AMG GT vs. Porsche 911 [w/poll]
Thu, 11 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz designed the AMG GT to compete head-on with the Porsche 911. It's a clear, singular purpose, and Benz brings a lot of money, technology and race-bred expertise to the fight.
The AMG GT is Merc's followup to the awesome SLS AMG, the retro-modern, gullwing-doored coupe that took us by storm half a decade ago. But this new GT coupe is a more focused sports car than the SLS, rather than an all out supercar capable of extreme performance. It's got a brand-new V8 engine, and state-of-the-art technology that help it to not only be a proper Mercedes, but to be a serious performer.
Mercedes will sell its new baby in two models. The GT S arrives first, in spring 2015, followed by the standard GT in mid-2016. Of course, there's room to grow from there. And while Porsche may have already expanded its 911 range to include a vast variety of models, here's how Stuttgart's icon stacks up against Affalterbach's bad boy.
Audi and Porsche squabble over future product platforms
Tue, 22 Jul 2014In the buildup to the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi delivered an amusing video that worked on the playful rivalry between the German brand and its favorite frenemy, Porsche. We called it sibling rivalry, and at the time, it may have been just that. But just like sibling rivalries, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and that's just what seems to be about to happen in the formerly peaceful Volkswagen Group family.
A new report from Automobile calls out the growing animosity between Porsche, who is backed up by Bentley, and Audi, whose primary ally is Lamborghini. No blows have actually been thrown, although there is a fair amount of "he said, she said" going on.
As Porsche tells it, for example, the new global fullsize SUV architecture being developed by Audi isn't up to snuff, citing size and structure issues, as well as an inability to accommodate a wide variety of engines.
