Up for sale is my 1964 Porsche SC Coupe, matching numbers, body number 127849, engine number 810869, previous owner faxed title to Porsche and Porsche verified that this is a numbers matching car. According to Porsche Specs Booklet, Third Edition, production of cars for production year 1963 started with number 126001 in July, 1963 and went to 128104. This body number is 127849. SC engine numbers began with 810001 and ended with 811001. This engine number is 810869. As you can see body number and engine number coincide toward end of production run. Car was titled as a 1964 as many were by the time they reached the US. Porsche has verified that this is a matching number car. Block is stamped 616/16 which is an SC block.
Car will require a full restoration. Paint has been stripped off the car and the car is in bare metal. All rust areas are visible and no bondo has been thrown at the car. Doors close beautifully. Door gaps are incredibly tight and even all the way around. They close with a nice thud--one of the wonderful parts of this car. Engine lid closes well and gap is even all the way around. Hood is stamped with "849" and is original. It will require some metal work to be perfect but it closes and opens well and gap is even across the top near the windshield and along the fenders. New floors will be necessary as well as battery box. This is not a big problem. Front sections of floor were cut out by previous owner beginning to prep the area for replacement. He decided to sell the vehicle before completing this work. If the car doesn't sell we will bring it into the shop and do the metal work in house. It is just part of the business if you buy and sell enough 356s. Above the floor is very solid. What really attracts me to the car is the way the doors close so tightly and cleanly and evenly. Everything else can be fixed.
Car is mechanically complete. We haven't tried to fire up the engine but it turns over freely. We believe that it could run without too much difficulty. All 4 wheel disc brakes are present and the car rolls easily. The SC Coupe is one of the finest driving Porsche 356s available because of the 4 wheel disc brakes and higher horsepower engine. These cars restored are currently bringing $70,000 to $80,000 and more for a concours example. This is the car that you want to restore since it is a matching numbers car and high horsepower 356 and has 4 wheel disc brakes! It is an investment grade car.

Jay Leno puts carbon fiber wheels to the test on a Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Thu, 04 Sep 2014Jay Leno's Garage usually focuses on looking at cars new and old, speaking to their owners and then Jay taking a drive to see what he thinks. However, Leno throws his usual shtick to the curb this week to do a full product test of the carbon fiber wheels from a company called Carbon Revolution. If you're not interested in hearing about wheels for 18 minutes, don't worry. They get mounted on a Porsche and are tested back-to-back with stock wheels, and Leno takes the 911 for a track test, too.
While carbon-fiber wheels aren't exactly a new idea, Carbon Revolution's goal is to create a lightweight, one-piece product that can be mass produced. The company even claims that it already has a deal with an OEM automaker to offer them on a vehicle in a few years. The key to the technology is that it doesn't need an expensive autoclave to be made.
In the meantime, the company's carbon fiber wheels are available as an aftermarket option for about $15,000 a set, according to the video. They weigh in at about 15.5 pounds each and offer OEM-levels of stiffness, so they could cut some unsprung mass off of a performance car. Watch here as Jay and his mechanic Bernard lap Willow Springs and give their feedback about what they think of this cutting-edge technology.
Porsche hybrids come up short at Le Mans
Tue, Jun 17 2014Two cars, one finish, zero victories. That's a brief synopsis of Porsche's hybrid-vehicle performance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. There's always next year. Porsche entered two 919 Hybrid vehicles in the race. The No. 14 car essentially limped to the finish line after encountering drivetrain problems. The other Porsche hybrid, No. 20, was driven by Germany's Timo Bernhard, New Zealand's Brendon Hartley and Australia's Mark Webber. That car ran for more than 22 hours before its own powertrain issues did that racing team in for good. Both vehicles ran towards the front of the pack at times during the race, and the No. 20 car actually led the race after about 20 hours. Still, both teams said they were disappointed in the results. Porsche sister company Audi came up big for the 13th time in the race's long and storied history. One Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro won the race, while another finished second. The Toyota that had pole-position and was winning much of the race shut down after 15 hours of racing because of electrical issues and Nissan had trouble with is ZEOD RC. Check out Porsche's press release below, and read here for a more general race recap. STRONG PERFORMANCE BY PORSCHE 919 HYBRIDS BUT NO DREAM ENDING IN PROTOTYPE RETURN TO LE MANS Le Mans. After a strong performance by both Porsche 919 Hybrids, the Porsche Team was left empty-handed after a dramatic final stage of the race. Following more than 22 hours, car No. 20 driven by Timo Bernhard (Germany), Brendon Hartley (New Zealand) and Mark Webber (Australia) suffered a powertrain problem at the world's most famous endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Earlier in the race the LMP1 class car was leading overall for a significant period of time. The second innovative and highly complex prototype – in the hands of Romain Dumas (France), Neel Jani (Switzerland) and Marc Lieb (Germany) – likewise proved to be very competitive, but was hampered by a drivetrain problem. However, their No. 14 car crossed the finish line under its own power. After a thrilling start to the race with changing weather conditions, numerous accidents and a relatively calm night, Bernhard took the overall lead in the No. 20. The longtime Porsche factory driver returned to the top spot after 20 of the 24 hours. At 12:36 (CET) on Sunday, he handed the leading car over to Webber. Less than 20 minutes later the Australian was forced to slow down and drove solely on electric power back to pit lane.
Porsche sells a $6,570 office chair
Thu, Mar 31 2016If you're in the market for a new seat and a Porsche fan, then the German company might have the chair of your dreams. Be ready to spend some serious cash, though. The Porsche Office Chair RS looks identical to what is in the company's vehicles, and Porsche promises the chair uses the same leather and Alcantara as in the sports cars. The brand's crest comes embossed on the headrest, too. Buyers also get the usual features you would expect from an office chair like adjustments to the seat height and armrests. There's also a jacket hook at the back. However, the coolest part is the electrically adjustable backrest with a rechargeable battery for power. If the Office Chair RS has one downside, it's the price. Porsche's website shows a list price of $6,570. If you shop around, that's a similar to what a Porsche 944 will set you back, and you can actually drive the 944. If you're looking for something slightly less expensive, Porsche also has a regular office chair that looks very similar to the RS but retails for $5,690, which still isn't much of a bargain, but is pretty cool nonetheless.
