My caretaking duties have come to an end with my beloved 356 Porsche Speedster Replica.

This 1957 CMC Speedster Porsche Replica was built, per the previous owner, in 1979. It's a well sorted car, which has served my wife and I very well.  We frequently (every 2 months) drive to Napa (90mi) and Sonoma(105mi) without any problems, ever.

This 1957 Speedster is very tastefully prepared in, per the previous owner, signal red, black top, black 1/4 tonneau, black full tonneau, red/black dash, black carpets, 5 lug wheels w/ Porsche hubcaps, rally running lights (which stay on all-the-time for safety), rally hood straps, and light stone guards. It also had proper seats, stopwatch mounts for time trials and club rallies (I am keeping my working stopwatches, however the "show-non-working" watches will come with the car), shifter trim, dash eyebrow, and door panels prepared with speakers, but doesn't come with a radio. I love the sound of this car, fantastic music.

This car is incredible in person. It's definitely an attention getter. It's just beautiful and will be missed. We're preparing another vehicle for historical races and have run out of room.
This car owns the wood-floored garage. Living at home as a ornament in the garage pup. My personal museum-type piece shared with family and friends.

It is fitted with a 1600 cc Engine, Italian vintage steering wheel (roughly near $2k on its own) and Black Dash Knobs and Shifter Knob. Speedster floormats (not shown, but will come with the car), 12V electrical, four wheel drum brakes, replica took kit, and owner's manual,  Reutter Coachworks fender badge, and many other accents.

I planned to do club rallys with the car, but haven't found any in our area and over the last few years I've fallen in love with Vintage Racing and therefore have decided to build a purpose built race car. So, this car was only used for wine trips with my wife and I. She's been treated very well; both of them.

Titled as a 1957 Porsche making it exempt from emission or smog testing.
Rare -- Comes with YOM plates! Will be transferred to the new owner! ($400 and a lot of work to get)

There's a small tear on the driver's seat (see photos, not really noticeable in person).and there's a small patch in the convertible top.
The gear box works fantastic, no synchro problems or reverse "pop out." It drives smooth and strong. Just a fantastic drive.
Cruise @ 70mph without any problems. I drive max 70 mph, never went above that as I didn't want the RPMs to go too high as I heard it's not good for these engines.

All gauges are working and from a 914. First thing I did was replace the gauges with a set of nicely refreshed gauges. So they work very well.

Being an older build, and from what I was told, restored 10 years ago, I'm not too sure how many miles are on it.
I've done everything I can to make sure she's running well, who wants to be stranded over 100 miles from home, right? So I've made sure it's kept up with oil changes, mechanics, etc, ...

The engine bay is sealed - Most CMCs are not.

I will miss her, but we are only temporary caretakers and now she's ready to be handed off to someone who can continue to care for her.

Experience Daytona in 27,894 photos

Thu, Apr 7 2016

This "video" of the 24 Hours of Daytona is composed from tens of thousands of individual photographs that have been put together into an intriguing but jolty moving picture show. The project was shot at the 24 Hours of Daytona. It was commissioned by Porsche from photographers Camden Trasher and Zach Miller, who pieced it together from no less than 27,894 photographs they shot at the sports car racing season opener in Florida in January. Porsche has won the Daytona endurance race more than any other manufacturer, with 18 overall wins to its name – way ahead of second-place Riley whose Daytona prototypes have dominated the race in recent history with 10 wins from 2005 through 2015. This year an LMP2 prototype built by Ligier and powered by Honda won for the first time, with the Corvette team dominating the GT categories. Porsches came in third in GTLM and second in the GTD class. Related Video:

Lots of new cars were unveiled in Munich this week. Here's what you might've missed

Thu, Sep 9 2021

The 2021 Munich Auto Show is happening this week and due to ongoing corporate travel restrictions, we remained firmly planted on this continent. So, although we can't tell you exactly what it's like inside the futuristic new Mercedes EQE electric sedan or fully appreciate the funky Volkswagen ID.Life concept, there's no shortage of details and analysis to provide.  Obviously, as Germany's premier auto show in 2021, the cars unveiled were primarily from the German brands. We also focused mostly on the cars that might actually make their way to the United States, or at least inspire those that will.   2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE is an electric alternative to the E-Class While the EQS paved the way for Mercedes' electrified future, much like the S-Class before it, the EQE stands to be the car that will move in far greater numbers -- much like the E-Class before it. Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 View 12 Photos   Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept shows SUV future of the flagship brand Opulence will still have a place in an electrified future, as Maybach gets into the EQ game with a grand electric SUV. Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept View 4 Photos   Volkswagen ID.Life concept previews the city car's high-riding EV future Well, isn't this adorable? Though perhaps a tad derivative of the Honda E, Volkswagen's blocky little crossover EV nevertheless represents a handsome new direction for VW design. We like this better than the rounded looks of the current ID.3 and ID.4.  2021 Volkswagen ID.Life concept View 20 Photos   BMW i Vision Circular is a 100% recycled and recyclable hatch Behold, the next BMW 3 Series! Just kidding. Besides this, BMW displayed cars in person for the first time that it had previously only unveiled on the interwebs, including the new 2 Series and revised iX3. It also unveiled some bikes. BMW i Vision Circular Concept View 63 Photos   Audi's GrandSphere concept was designed as a road-going private jet Does Audi know what a sphere is? Cause this isn't anything like one. Still, it's quite a handsome thing, and as one of three Sphere-branded concepts, previews the next direction of Audi design (which is pleasantly reminiscent of two-decade-old Mazda design). No complaints here. 2021 Audi GrandSphere concept View 26 Photos   Porsche Mission R is a 1,000-horsepower electric monster Just like the Mission E previewed the Taycan, this apparently previews another future car.

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
