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.

Porsche recalls new 911 models over exhaust pipe issues
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Porsche, though the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, announced a voluntary recall on about 2,200 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models built during the 2012 and 2013 model years. On cars equipped with the standard exhaust system it was found that the tailpipes could separate from the mufflers and become dangerous road debris; models that added the optional sport exhaust system are not included in this recall.
Affected vehicles were built between March and November of last year, but there have been no reports of the problem on any customer-owned vehicles. Porsche first noticed a cracked tailpipe weld on a test vehicle back in May, and since then has found similar problems on other internally owned vehicles, all with more than 25,000 miles on the clock. To fix the problem, dealers will be replacing the mufflers. Scroll down to read the official notice.
Infiniti cribs new US boss from Porsche
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Just weeks before he was supposed to become CEO of Porsche Cars Australia, Infiniti has apparently offered Porsche COO and Executive Vice President Michael Bartsch a deal he couldn't refuse. Thus, Bartsch has join the company as Vice President of Infiniti Americas, the luxury marque's top North American post. Bartsch replaces Ben Poore, who has been with the automaker since 2008, having led both a 22-percent sales surge in 2012 and the brand's current sales slough, Automotive News reports.
Bartsch, Porsche's No. 2 US executive, has held the COO and Executive Vice President positions at Porsche since 2005 and was scheduled to become CEO of Porsche's Oz division on September 1. Infiniti has experienced a number of recent personnel changes in the past week: it named Vincent Gillet, formerly an executive for Starwood Hotels & Resorts, to lead its marketing efforts worldwide and Simon Cox, a former designer for automakers including Ford and Peugeot, to head a new design studio in London.
Poore reportedly will pursue other interests outside of the auto industry. Read more about the personnel change in the press release below.
Porsche Macan to get four-cylinder engines
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Porsche hasn't offered a four-cylinder engine since the 968 went out of production in 1995 - the better part of two decades ago. There'd been talk of a four-pot Boxster or an even smaller model to slot in below it, but while the latest intel indicates that Porsche is moving ahead with its four-cylinder plans, it's a different kind of vehicle that will get it first.
That, of course, would be the new Macan. Just revealed a few weeks ago at the LA Auto Show, the Macan crossover is being launched with a pair of twin-turbocharged V6 engines (a 3.0 with 340 horsepower and a 3.6 with 400 hp) and a six-cylinder turbodiesel with 258 hp. But smaller engines, according to emerging reports from Autocar and Auto Express, are on their way.
Word has it that Porsche is preparing a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 horsepower and a diesel with the same displacement and cylinder count, engines that will power new entry-level Macan models that will slot in beneath the existing Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo. While the diesel is tipped to be ported over from the Volkswagen parts bin, the four-cylinder gasoline engine is said to be under development by Porsche itself, which could mean it will have a boxer layout.
