This car is in exceptional condition, ready to be driven or shown. A numbers matching example, off the road since 1973, the car was brought down to bare metal by marque expert, Dink Farmer. An exceptional metal and body man, the gaps are perfect throughout the car, especially the doors. They open and close easily, and have the extremely difficult to find(and therefore expensive) 1957 only door handles, keyed to match the ignition switch, as original. The radio was rebuilt, and NOS speakers were installed and comes with the correct red tipped Hirschmann antenna installed. You're probably going to be enjoying the sound of the throaty engine, which utilizes a NOS factory sport muffler, not the radio.....but it works! Front and side glass is new and has the appropriate markings on them. The interior is a beautiful red leather, done by Auto's International. The seat recliners were rechromed and function as new. All knobs are originals, redone, and matched(color) along with the steering wheel. Everything chrome, was rechromed, by Christensen Plating. The Bosch headlights, with their 9 and 12 o'clock adjusters were redone, as was everything else, by Concours Refinishing, Victor Miles. The shine up license light, the rear glass reflectors, and the front and rear taillights are redone, and correct. The original(on the Kardex) manual sliding Golde sunroof functions as it should, with a great deal of timespent getting it to open and close correctly, which it does. All brake and suspension components were redone, along with new Koni shocks. Everything was rebuilt or is NOS. Although a bone stock engine, the car has a lot of power and starts immediately. The car is a real pleasure to drive.

Porsche recalling 4,400 911, Boxster and Cayman models over hood latches

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Porsche has issued a "precautionary" and voluntary safety recall affecting some 4,400 sports cars across the globe. Here in the United States, the recall includes 1,382 911, Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes, all of which are from model years 2014 and 2015.
Porsche will be replacing the lock bracket for the front cargo area (the frunk) after internal testing revealed that, while the vehicles meet "strength requirements," specific parts might not meet the company's quality standards throughout the vehicle's life. There have been no reports of accidents or injuries.
Owners of the affected cars will be notified within 60 days and will need to report to a nearby dealer for a free repair, which should take about 30 minutes.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

Porsche reveals new LMP1 racecar testing ahead of 2014 Le Mans debut

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

Getting ready for its triumphant return to the premier racing class of Le Mans, Porsche has released a handful of images showing its new LMP1 racecar testing. Porsche hasn't run a car in the Prototype class at 24 Hours of Le Mans since 2009, but this racecar - still veiled in secrecy - will be expected to battle against the Audi and Toyota LMP1 Prototypes to help bring Porsche its 17th Le Mans victory.
Aside from knowing that it will use a hybrid powertrain to meet LMP1 rules, there are no other details about the car... including its name or potential sponsors. In the meantime, Porsche has set up a microsite, called Mission 2014, to share its extensive history racing at Le Mans. Also, be sure to check out some of the past videos Porsche has released as it gears up for its reborn LMP1 program.
