1965 Porsche 356 C Cabriolet, Documented 70k, Numbers Match, Video, Runs Great! on 2040-cars
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
Up for sale is my 1965 Porsche 356C Cabriolet, matching numbers per the original owner's manual in the glove compartment, chassis number 162068 with engine number 733159. Paint code is 6407. This is a 2 owner car. Included in the sale is the original ignition key with leather "Porsche" maroon fob. Fully documented from day one of its sale date on June 14th,1965. Sold by Mooers Motor Company in Richmond, Virginia. First owner owned the vehicle up to 8/23/1977 where second owner purchased the car. I purchased the car from the second owner. All service receipts with sequential mileage up the current mileage of 70735. Mileage is original. Odometer is working. Every service, every oil change, every tire purchase, every light bulb, every brake service, every state inspection, EVERYTHING from day one on this vehicle. It is rare to find a vehicle with all the service records and receipts and the service booklet in the dash with the dealer stamps in it. Hood and engine grill has the last 2 digits of vin stamped in them. There is no evidence of accident repair in going through all of the receipts. Since purchasing the vehicle we have changed the spark plug wires, put in fresh spark plugs, changed the oil, installed and set new points, changed the transaxle fluid, installed new rubber boots on transaxle, and did a thorough check over on the vehicle. All gauges work-temperature, gas level gauge, speedometer, odometer, tachometer, clock works most of the time, low and high beam lights, turn signals, brake lights. Radio currently does not work. The car maintains its original 6 volt system and charges well. Car has European heater system on it, which is all intact. Engine runs beautifully and takes the gas well. Transmission is smooth and shifts through all 4 forward gears smoothly and goes into reverse smoothly as well. I have driven the car over 400 miles in the past 3 weeks and it is just a blast to drive. Interior is showing some wear especially on the driver side seat; top is present and goes up and down but the rear window will need replacing; all doors close amazingly well and maintain their gaps very well; engine lid closes well. Hood closes well but has been kinked and will need repair. Car is very solid but has a few spots that will need some rust attention: small pencil eraser size blisters in front of driver side door on fender; driver side longitudinal in rear will need some rust repair (see picture). None of the rust on this car affects the structure of the car. We have had the car jacked up in the rear and the doors open and close beautifully while it is jacked up. There is no evidence of accident on the car. I also have a hardtop which is complete for the car that can be purchased additionally. Please see the link below where I have taken over 125 photos of the car: Here is a short video of the car being driven at highway speeds: You can buy with confidence. This is a really nice well maintained car over the years, one that is increasingly hard to find as a very nice dependable driver. It has classic lines and draws a crowd wherever it is parked. We are a licensed and bonded and insured auto dealer in North Carolina and we have an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau. Our dealership is: T.J. Auto, Inc., 1312 Capital Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27603. The title to the vehicle is in hand and everything is in order on our end. We can assist with domestic and international shipping (buyer pays for shipping).

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:

BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Seinfeld's Porsches, '61 Ferrari lead the way at Gooding Amelia Island sale
Tue, Mar 1 2016If you're in the market for a sports car with celebrity provenance or just an incredibly well-preserved high-performance machine, then you'll want to check out Gooding & Company's Amelia Island auction in Florida on March 11. The highlight of the sale is likely 18 cars, mostly Porsches, from Jerry Seinfeld's collection, but there's more to see than just the comedian's sporting metal. While several of Seinfeld's cars carry auction estimates in the millions, they aren't the most valuable at the sale. That honor falls on a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, which could sell for between $15 million and $17 million. This one is among the 37 examples with covered headlights, and it has some theatrical provenance after appearing in the Sophia Loren film Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. If your tastes skew more American, then one of 31 Ford GT40 MKI road cars is also among the lots. Gooding expects the rare coupe to sell for between $3.2 million and $3.6 million. Ford originally used this GT40 for dealer promotions, but it eventually fell into private hands. Even today, its multiple owners have only covered around 3,200 miles in it. Gooding also expects a 1931 Duesenberg Model J Disappearing-Top Convertible Coupe with a body by Murphy to bring $2.5 million to $3 million. The auction house claims this might be the "most original" example left because of a history of owners who kept it for long periods – and the vehicle never needed a complete restoration. Some lots carry more attainable estimates like $35,000 for a 1962 MGA. You can check out all the listings on Gooding's online catalog and some of the highlights in the gallery above. You've probably read the news about Seinfeld's Porsches, but here's a refresher: The collection includes amazing cars like a 550 Spyder, 917/30 Can-Am Spyder, and a 718 RSK. Related Video:
Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.
