1964 Porsche 356 SC Cabriolet - 1 Owner 

My dad served in the USAF in Hamburg, Germany. He bought his first Porsche 356, a super 90 in 1963. One day while traveling along the countryside in Germany a car pulled out in front of him causing a T-bone crash.  My father's super 90 was totaled and he was forced to buy another Porsche.  At that point the SC Cabriolet had just been offered and he said he really wanted a one because of the 12volt system, more engine horsepower and overall more refined car.  At that time in late 64 the SC's on a lot in Germany were sold before they were delivered.  My dad patiently waited to find one without any luck.  Until one day, he got a call from the local Porsche dealers owner offering to sell him his own dealer demo. My dad jumped on it and purchased this cabriolet July 6th, 1965 (49 years ago).   My dad used to race it in Germany as a hobby (view photos).

My father gave me this porsche and unfortunately I am selling it to buy a house.  It has been a long thought out process and an incredibly difficult decision but I believe it is in my best interest to sell this car and move in a different direction for myself and my future.  We have received notes ever since I was a kid asking if we would sell the car, for the very first time it is for sale and will be sold!!

The car runs, drives and can be driven in its current state but I would recommend taking the plunge and restoring this piece of history. 

The original color is Irish Green but was painted Ruby Red in the 80s when my dad wanted a color change 


Matching Engine and Transmission #'s 
Engine: 820112
Transmission: 70760 (741/0)
The Motor/Transmission and drivetrain were all been rebuilt in the early 2000's and have been driven a limited amount since. 
Runs and drives and clutch is very sticky and transmission feels good.


Interior
Black interior - front seats need recovering and rears look good just need a solid cleaning
Windshield wipers work, blinkers, tachometer, speedometer, odometer, horn, radio all work.  
There is a vertical crack in the windshield glass.
Carpet is dirty, rough and could use replacement
Interior door panels are in great shape, the windows roll up and down easily.
Locks lock from inside and outside.

Body and Rust
Body is in ok shape, the front end has had some work on it and the last body man welded a couple plates on it so you could pull it out and straighten it.  There are dents and rust.  The rust is on both driver/passenger lower front fender, drivers front floor pan, some misc areas on the floors, front clip by front head lights and misc other spots.  For the best results fixing it would be a rotisserie restoration.
Underbody has some dents and rust - view photos

Top
Convertible - needs replacement but the actual frame is in good condition and locks against windshield frame tight
Hardtop is included - no rear glass except the rear windshield (new rear glass) 

Misc
Additional parts are included (view photos to see extra parts that are pictured) - spare tire we have and is included included

 
Paperwork
I have every record that this car has ever had and the stack is huge! Everything is in chronological order and it was serviced and maintained by some of the greatest shops in the country.   Also included is the original black/white Colorado Title from 1965 and a Colorado Bill of Sale.

Front Clip
The only reason the front clip headlamps, bumper and misc parts have been removed is because my dad almost had a complete restoration started in 2003 but parked it instead in a heated garage due to a passing in the family. It sat in this heated facility for the last 9 years until 2 months ago when I pulled it out and took it to a local specialist to rebuild the carbs, drain the fluids and get it running again.  It is running great but needs to be driven to clean out the engine.  Each week since I got it back from the shop I have been starting it and driving it around the block but due to lack of headlamps, no current tags I can only drive a limited amount. 

Extras:
Hardtop and new rear glass for hardtop
356 3ring binder (shop manual)
Owners manual etc


This 356 would be a great candidate for a full restoration, addition to your collection or store it and let it continue to appreciate in value.    
  
Overall:
This is a beautiful Porsche 356 Classic.  It would make the perfect weekend warrior, beach cruiser or addition to your collection.  The Porsche is used, needs a restoration and 50 years old.  It is hard to capture all the blemishes and areas that need attention but it is a perfect restoration candidate.  I am not a Porsche specialist so I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the 356.  The car is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees.  I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado.

Shipping:
If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643.  Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery.  He helped me ship a few vehicles back to Colorado from other areas in the country. 

Conclusion:
A $1000 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal.  All sales are final.  The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time.  Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer.  I have sold multiple cars on ebay and can provide references if necessary.  I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this car is listed for sale locally as well.

If you have any questions or would like to know anything more or make an offer feel free to calling or texting.  #720-295-3372

Porsche CEO hints at Macan GTS, expects brand sales growth to 200K+

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Porsche is expecting big things from its little Macan, with CEO Matthias Mueller announcing that not only is a sportier GTS model being considered, but that the CUV will almost certainly help push Porsche beyond its 200,000-unit-per-year sales goal three years earlier than expected.
"We're transferring the genes of the Porsche brand into a new market segment," Mueller said during a speech to kick off Macan production, according to Automotive News Europe. Macan demand should push the brand past 200,000 sales, Mueller said, confirming what we reported back in August. And if Porsche really has a hit on its hands, it is able to boost production of the sporty crossover beyond its initial capacity of 50,000 units, according to the brand's CEO.
Provided that the Macan is the success Porsche hopes it will be, Mueller hinted that the range could expand beyond the initial Macan S and Macan Turbo. "GTS versions have a tradition at Porsche," Mueller said. "We haven't made a final decision yet regarding the Macan, but I'm sure it makes a lot of sense."

Porsche testing four-cylinder Boxster at the N?rburgring

Fri, 09 May 2014

Porsche recently introduced a four-cylinder version of the new Macan for markets outside of North America, carrying Zuffenhausen's first four-pot since the 968 ended its production run the better part of two decades ago. But you can bet the compact crossover won't be the only Porsche to get the four banger before all's said and done. These spy shots, we're told, are evidence of just that.
Spotted undergoing testing at the Nürburgring (where else), this modified Boxster, our spy photographers tell us, sounds more like a four-cylinder engine than the flat six that's powered (in displacements ranging from 2.5 liters to 3.4) every version of the little roadster since its introduction in 1996, the year after the last four-cylinder Porsche ended production.
The test mule is also wearing modified wheel arches and aerodynamic aids under the bumpers, front and rear. Just what they're doing there we're not sure, but we'll probably find out sooner or later.

Porsche 918 Spyder configurator goes live

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

That didn't take long. The debut model of the new Porsche 918 Spyder is still thronged by onlookers at the Frankfurt Motor Show, while the German sports car maker is hard at work putting the first version of the supercar's configuration page online. Considering Porsche configurators are some of our favorite time-wasters of the genre, we expect car-guy productivity to drop by a few percentage points over the rest of the day.
So, the 918 dream-maker doesn't list and prices as yet, and that's too bad. But considering the car is due to start off at $845,000 in the US, chances are good that unless you're reading this from the shallow end of your Uncle Scrooge-spec money pool, the cost of any part of the 918 is academic to you anyway.
To start, Porsche is offering twelve paint colors, three wheel choices and seven two-tone interior treatments. Standard lightweight bucket seats and a set of chairs with "firmer padding" are on offer, too. The options list is mostly populated with interior bits, though many - an anti-reflection interior, fire extinguisher, six-point seatbelts - are racing-oriented or functional. Note that Porsche is also kind enough to offer just one cupholder as an optional extra; the unit is made of aluminum and is detachable so that you won't have to carry the extra weight during racing. Also, Porsche probably puts you on some kind of naughty 'list' if you order one...
