This is a very nice driver condition RARE 1958 Porsche 356a with beehive tail lamps. I have owned this vehicle for a couple of years and am thinning out some of my collection. I purchased this off of an elderly couple who owned the vehicle for over 30 years and had a wonderful story to go with the vehicle. They were in my neighborhood and had this parked in the back of their garage for years without any of the neighbors knowing it. The body is unbelievably straight with zero rust. The underneath is good shape and has had the floor pans replaced. They did a decent job for what it is worth but not concourse. The battery box is pictured and has minimal rust. The engine area looks great. Vehicle VIN 103382 Engine stamp KD*P*86444. The paint looks beautiful as a driver and does have a few cracks in it however this is a drivers car or an outstanding candidate for full restoration. Again, I drive this vehicle to cruise nights, car shows etc...so it is not a trailer queen. Interior works just fine but seats etc...would need to be redone as pictured. It has the right amount of patina to look original but show nicely. I also have a box with additional original parts that are hard to find such as metal bumper stops, jack, visors etc...

I purchased this vehicle as I have always loved them and was much more of a fan of the tail lamps in this formation vs. the tear drop. I spent over 5k last year having work done at a 356 specialty shop to make it a beautiful running car. I would drive this vehicle across the country...of course I wouldn't as it is a 1958 but it handles, stops, accelerates and drives as it should. Occasionally you may get a light grind going into reverse. All lights, wipers, gauges etc. work. This car looks fantastic at ten feet. I have loved it and had it repaired to be a reliable VERY NICE driver. This is not a 100k car obviously but 58s are hard to come by. If you have watched these cars the value continues to rise.

Here is a list of things I just had replaced and/or worked on: Set front toe/replace rubber steering coupler, replaced rear brake shoes and adjusted brakes front and rear, flush brake system, replaced rear axle bearing seals and set pre load on bearings, replaced axle boots, changed gear oil, changed oil and filter, removed filter can and cleaned, rebuilt both zenith carbs, complete and install two fuel filters, replaced spark plugs and setup engine complete (dwell ignition timing and air fuel ratio), fill steering box and adjust, checked and repaired wire ends and harness, remove and repair passenger side wiper transmission, repair shifter linkage. I have receipts for all work.

Any questions please let me know.

Cadillac Celestiq and Honda Civic Type R revealed | Autoblog Podcast #740

Fri, Jul 29 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. They kick things off by talking about the latest vehicle reveals, specifically the Cadillac Celestiq show car and the 2023 Honda Civic Type R. They discuss Chevy's move to offer incentives to help prevent customers from flipping the new Corvette Z06. Greg has spent time behind the wheel of the 2022 Range Rover First Edition, while John has been driving the 2023 Genesis GV60 Performance. From the mailbag, a listener is looking to replace a 2003 Subaru Forester with something that can hold three dog crates and gets decent fuel economy. Another listener asks whether to keep a 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo or replace it with a 992-generation 911 for which he is awaiting an allocation.

Ford GT dominates Le Mans qualifying, gets slapped with performance adjustment

Fri, Jun 17 2016

Fifty years after Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon drove the Ford GT40 to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford is poised for a historic return to the Circuit de la Sarthe. The new Ford GT took the top two qualifying positions in the LMGTE Pro class, and four of the top five. Ferrari's 488 filled in the rest of the spots in the top seven, the first two from AF Corse. In other words, we're primed for a reboot of the classic Ford-Ferrari feud at this year's race. Or not, as the ACO, which organizes the 24 Hours of Le Mans, announced sweeping pre-race Balance of Performance (BOP) adjustments this morning that make this year's GT class anybody's race. In LMP1, last year's overall winner Porsche locked up the top two spots with the 919 Hybrid and will lead the entire field at race start. Toyota's two-car factory effort followed with qualifying times 1.004 and 2.170 seconds behind the pole lap. Audi rounds out the manufacturer-backed LMP1 class in fifth and sixth. Full qualifying results can be found here. The storyline for the GT cars is perfect - some say too perfect. Ford's class-leading times came after BOP adjustment to the Corvette Racing C7.R before qualifying. BOP is intended to level the playing field in the class by adjusting power, ballast, and fuel capacity. (Check out this explainer video for more, or even just if you love French accents.) But the process is riddled with unknowns and ripe for accusations of sandbagging. That is, if the Ford cars were intentionally slow in practice they could hope for BOP adjustment to improve their race chances. On the Corvette side, last year's GTE Pro winner went from the top of the field to the bottom, barely improving from practice to qualifying. If you think Le Mans is as rigged at the NBA Playoffs, well, it's not that simple. Because if Ford and Ferrari held back until qualifying - the eighth-place Porsche 911 RSR is three-and-a-half seconds off the class pole time - it was a pretty dumb strategy. This morning, the ACO tried to put things back in order by limiting the boost in the Ford GT's twin-turbo V6 and adding 11 pounds of ballast. Ferrari was also given extra weight but allowed more fuel capacity. The Corvette and Aston Martin teams were both given breaks on their air restrictors, which will allow their engines to make more power. Both Ford and Porsche also received extra fuel capacity.

Audi welcomes Porsche back to Le Mans like any sibling would

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Ah, sibling rivalry. It really is a beautiful thing. It's even more beautiful when said siblings are automakers with very, very well-known racing histories. That's how you get videos like this, which is Audi's way of welcoming Porsche back to the top flight of Le Mans racing.
Yes, Audi has taken its R18 E-Tron Quattro back onto public roads, wowing schoolboys and scaring farmers (who appear to be riding classic Porsche tractors), as it travels from Ingolstadt to Zuffenhausen, just to taunt its corporate frenemy.
Take a look below for a video to see just what that teasing looks like.
