Selling this project that never got started.

I have the glass (no cracks), most of the trim, gauges, seats, original wheels, gas tank, wiper motor and arm assembly, original Hella lenses, rear seats, engine lid louvers, and all of what I would call the major parts. Some of the smaller parts are new repro or NOS, like some trim pieces, some lenses, a Bosch distributor, and some other miscellaneous stuff. Motor and drivetrain are original and complete.

Rockers and floor are totally shot. Lots of surface rust throughout interior metal. The last (original) owner started to do some patch work and didn't do a good job; it has to be redone. Doors, window channels, roof, engine lid are decent. nose is fair. trunk lid (in front) is rough. Door hinges are good and with no door sag. I think most if not all of the metal needs attention, but certainly not beyond restoration.

As far as I know, the car drove up until about 1985 when it was put in a garage where it sat until I took ownership in 2012. It deteriorated quite a bit as the garage it sat in was not suitable for storing a car.

I am more interested in a roadster than a hardtop. I was going to chop the top off but couldn't bring myself to butcher a restorable car of this stature, so I'm sadly letting it go in search of something else.

I'll be happy to answer any questions or send additional photos.

*UPDATE - I stated in the description that "Motor and drivetrain are original and complete". After being asked to provide the body VIN and Engine ID, I realized that I never actually researched it myself and just took the word of the previous (original) owner of the car. I did not verify that it is in fact the original 1964 engine in the car. I did some research but the numbers I found were inconclusive. Body ID is 128304. Engine ID 733213. I do not want to misrepresent what is here, so please check for yourself and make you own conclusions.

Porsche (finally) unleashes full, official details on 918 Spyder

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Porsche has finally let released all of the details on the 918 Spyder, the German brand's challenger to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, after months of leading our poor, performance-loving hearts on. The covers were lifted at the Volkswagen Group night, an enormous precursor to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and include a massive, 11,000-word press release that's attached at the bottom of this page.
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted, dry-sump-lubricated, 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 608 horsepower when left to its own devices. Combined with a trio of electric motors, which produce 286 hp, the total system horsepower for the 918 Spyder rests at 887 ponies. That's less than the McLaren P1 (903 hp) and the LaFerrari (949 hp), but the Porsche is also likely to be a bit cheaper, starting at $845,000, while the McLaren will be in the seven-figure range for certain, and it will more than likely be joined by the LaFezza.
The 918 Spyder counters with a 2.8-second jog to 62, a 7.7-second run to 124 and it will hit 186 in 22 seconds.

Porsche drivers escape this horrific VIR crash unscathed

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

There is no doubting the fact that it takes nerves of steel to be a racecar driver, but the same can also be said for motorsports photographers. Case in point: The American Le Mans Series Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway where two Porsche 911 racecars crash hard into the tire barrier, but the dedicated cameraman stays with the shot - diving away only at the last second just as the battered No. 31 car (shown above) comes to rest atop the tire barriers just feet from where he was standing.
The crash occurred when the two Porsches charged hard into a corner. Judging by the video, the white No. 48 car appears to not see the orange No. 31 and the two cars make contact, skidding off track hitting the tire barriers at a high rate of speed. Both drivers walked away from the frightening crash, but the video - posted below - shows just how bad things could have been. Hopefully the close call will serve as a lesson for the woman standing in the track marshal's post who has her back to the racing as the two cars barrel directly toward her.

2014 Porsche Cayman promo video hits the web

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Don't know how we missed this, but you don't have to play around with the 2014 Porsche Cayman configurator to see the new coupe in action; Porsche has given us more than two beautiful minutes of Cayman footage to enjoy.
The partners in the on-screen tango are the 275-horsepower base Cayman and the 325-hp Cayman S. If you like to keep track of such things, the former starts at $52,600, the latter at $63,800, plus $950 destination for each. Watching a video like the one below, however, is free.
