1965 Porsche 356 C, 356c, Stunning Restored Car on 2040-cars
Redmond, Washington, United States
|
Hello All,
Here is a fantastic 1965 Porsche 356C up for auction. This stunning car has been restored top to bottom and shows very well, with no stones left unturned. The previous owner restored the car starting in 2003 and finished around 2007, and with my purchase of the car i was given a stack of receipts totaling around 50,000, but that is not nearly all of them, just what was found. It was estimated that around 80k was spent on the car and it shows.
Akers in seattle rebuilt the engine and tranny, and they both perform as they should. A couple pumps of the gas peddle and she fires right up. Engine sounds great and pulls hard. Receipts were lost for engine and tranny but akers in Seattle is who rebuilt them. Tranny shifts fantastic and the clutch has a nice feel to it. I do not have a heritage certificate with the car, but it is believed to be all matching numbers as it came from the factory. Body was built in 64 and so was the engine as per serial numbers, and previous owner stated that they are original to the car.
Interior is in beautiful condition with only minimal wear. All gauges and lights work as they should. Original radio was changed to a newer (old look) radio and it works great, plays cd, am/fm, tape etc. Original radio and speakers are included.
There is a small blemish on the driver seat, i believe on the piping from getting in and out, very small and not extremely noticeable.
The body on the car is extremely straight and all the gaps are amazing. Paint shines beautifully. Doors shut nicely, as do the hood and trunk lids. No rust whatsoever. When driving the car, she is super smooth and tight. No rattles or strange noises and soaks up bumps nicely. She pulls with plenty of power and inspires you to go just a bit faster.
All in all, the car is in beautiful shape and is an award winner. But she is a used car and is not in concours shape. As far as imperfections go, there is some minor pitting on the wheels, and on the chrome door frames. Nothing major but could be redone to bring it closer to a 100 point car, the drivers seat has a small wear mark on a part of pipping. The muffler is not correct, (Akers can supply a correct muffler for 450.00). And she has general wear from being driven. This an exceptionally nice car needing nothing to be driven and shown. Please look at the pictures as there is a ton of them and they paint a pretty good picture. Please ask any and all questions as im sure i forgot stuff. Feel free to call me if you are serious about the car at 425-802-8682. Thanks for looking

Porsche digitally dissects its 918 Spyder for your viewing pleasure
Wed, 02 Oct 2013At this point, you'd think we'd know all there is to know about the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder - except what it's like to drive - but Porsche has released a new video giving us a more in-depth look at its new plug-in hypercar all the same. The animated video gives us numerous cutaway looks at the 918 Spyder while giving a visual demonstration of the car's four hybrid driving modes.
Though nowhere near as exciting as watching the 918 blast around the Nürburgring in record time, this new video is nonetheless both interesting and informative. Scroll down to watch the video yourself, and be sure to check out our live gallery of the production version of the car along with a stock gallery.
Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale.
The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014.
It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo.
