Porsche 356 B with matching numbers engine*. An original vehicle
in need of a complete restoration. This is my fourth such restoration 356 that I have
owned. I have restored some fully
and others partially, but all the others have now been sold (when the body is
painted, people will start enquiring – and the offers will flow until you receive
one that you just can’t refuse! – that’s been my experience). I no longer possess the time and
inclination to complete this last one, due to the birth of my twins. This
vehicle epitomizes the classic Porsche style and quality of yesteryear. The quintessential Porsche for every
collector, and a necessary addition to any real car collection. This particular vehicle will require rust restoration in the usual places for these vehicles, but there is a lot of life left in her, and the thick paint has protected a lot of the outside panels.
This is the iconic sports car that started the Porsche Company
and its racing legacy. If you would like to have a car that will continue
to appreciate in value and be useable as an every day dependable and fun
vehicle to drive, while only sipping gasoline, this may be the vehicle for you.
The continuous rise in the price of these iconic vehicles guarantees
that you will have made a sound automotive investment that will pay you
dividends for years to come. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche the 356 has always been popular with both the public
and the motoring press. In 2004, Sports Car International
ranked the 356 tenth on their list
of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. Today, the Porsche 356 is a highly regarded collector
car. Thousands of owners worldwide maintain the 356 traditions, preserving
their cars and driving them regularly. The US-based 356 Registry on its website
states that it is "...world's largest classic Porsche club."
Classic Porsches in general, and the 356 in particular were meant to be
driven by drivers who possessed real skill and ability. They sold to those who desired and coveted
the hand made quality of true craftsman, and they were built in limited numbers. Unlike today’s cookie cutter computer
controlled cars that are built to appeal to the largest segment of the
population possible, these appealed to drivers, real drivers and connoisseurs. They have never been cheap, and will
never be cheap to buy, but they are easy to own – German engineering and Bosch electrical
components. The new corporate approach
for Porsche vehicles is a response to market surveys. Whereas the original
Porsches were meant to be driven by real drivers and win races, new Porsches
are designed to be driven by everyone and anyone who can afford the price of
admission. With all their gadgetry and gimmicks, they make a bad driver look
good, and a good driver look great.
Personally, I would prefer to see this go to an individual who will
restore it themselves, as I planned, but considering the make, model and the current
market, I understand and accept that it likely will be snapped up by a
collector or professional restorer.
*The gentlemen I purchased the vehicle from represented that it is the original engine from the factory; I have not verified it with Porsche. Sold as is where is with no express or implied warranty of fitness for any particular purpose. |

Porsche opens new HQ, experience center in Atlanta
Thu, May 7 2015Next time you're flying into the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, keep an eye out for some great architecture with sports car racing around it. Porsche just spent $100 million, its largest investment ever outside of Germany, to open a new Experience Center and headquarters on the Northeast corner of the airport. The 27-acre site is designed for both work and play, and it's a Porsche fan's dream. The high point for drivers is the 1.6-mile Driver Development Track. The course includes six distinct sections, like an off-road course to get muddy and the only Kick Plate in North America to practice hanging the car's tail out. When not speeding around, visitors can check out the brand's classic cars on display and some art inspired by those machines. There's also a conference center and a place for fine dining called Restaurant 356. Porsche expects 30,000 people a year to check out the new site. Porsche Cars North America has been headquartered in Atlanta since 1998. However, the new construction puts many of its divisions under one roof, including the people working in financial services and consulting. Editor-in-Chief Mike Austin is visiting One Porsche Drive right now, and reports that the company is also building an experience center in Los Angeles and a flagship dealer in New York. Porsche is also working on experience centers in Le Mans and Shanghai, with plans to expand into Moscow and Istanbul, as well. Get a good look at the whole site in the gallery above.

How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans
Tue, 27 Aug 2013How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.
