Up for sale is my 1965 Porsche 356 C Coupe, Signal Red (paint code 6407), Black interior, vin number 221695 (which is the 212th car for 1965 production year) and engine number 717039 (which is the 234th engine for 1965). We are 99% certain that this is a numbers matching car since the car number and engine number coincide early in the 1965 production run for that year. So far we have been correct. We have ordered the COA and expect to have it in 3-4 weeks and this will be included in the sale of the vehicle. Very solid car with original pans, longitudinals and jack spurs which all look excellent. Battery box has had one small customary repair under where the battery sits. All closing panels, torsion bar areas, behind the front wheels are all solid. Bottom of the doors are excellent. This car came out of Florida and the previous owner has owned it since 2002. He told us that it came out of an estate and he purchased it from the family of the deceased owner. The gaps of the doors are even throughout, door hinges are straight and the doors close with that characteristic Porsche "thunk". Engine lid gap is perfect. Hood gap is excellent. Body appears to never have been in an accident since the gaps are so clean, straight and even. Paint was done about 10 years ago and presents well, although there are some bubbles on the passenger side fender (see picture). This is the only place where we saw any real issues with the paint/body. The black interior is excellent, seats look original, door panels are original. Dash has an after market radio installed. Engine runs but could use a tune up. Oil pressure is constant between 40-60lbs when the car is running. Brakes are firm and have excellent pedal. Firestone tires have deep tread. This is the last year of the Porsche 356 and is considered the best in terms of drivability.

We have taken over 150 photos of the car. Please see the link below:

Dan Neil pokes fun at the celeb cars of 2014

Sun, Dec 28 2014

Look, we try really hard not to pay any attention to the Kardashians and their vapid reality TV empire. But, as troubling as that brood may be, occasionally we're impressed and/or horrified by their four-wheeled conveyances. In fact, that curiosity extends beyond talentless reality stars with rotund glutes to celebs in general. That's why we're enjoying Dan Neil's sometimes biting take on the celebrity cars of 2014. Besides paying tribute to Kim K, husband Kanye West and the adorable Lamborghini that their spawn rides about in, Neil also takes a look at LeBron James' turn as a Kia spokesman and boxer Floyd Mayweather's trio of Bugatti Veyrons. Matthew McConaughey is a focus of Neil's as well, thanks to his oft-panned advertisements for Lincoln (and the raucous parodies they inspired), before finishing on the high, with Jerry Seinfeld and his new Porsche 918 Spyder. Take a look at Neil's recap of the celebrity cars of 2014. News Source: The Wall Street Journal Celebrities Humor Bugatti Kia Lamborghini Lincoln Porsche Videos porsche 918 spyder celebrity dan neil

Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties

Wed, 14 May 2014

These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.

Porsche Boxster/Cayman GTS, Macan, 911 Targa details leaked

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

The folks over at Jalopnik have published some rather interesting images from what looks to be a presentation held inside Porsche's North American headquarters in Atlanta, GA. What these leaked photos reveal is pretty significant - details about several of the brand's upcoming launches, including GTS versions of the Boxster and Cayman, a new 911 Targa, and information about the Macan crossover that will debut at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. Of course, none of this information has been officially verified, but it all looks and sounds pretty believable to us. So, let's dig in.
First up, Porsche will launch the Boxster and Cayman GTS models at next year's Beijing Motor Show in April. Upgrades for the GTS models will include a 15-horsepower bump, standard manual transmission (with optional dual-clutch PDK), standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and a slightly quicker 0-60 time. Jalopnik reports that these models will cost around $75,000.
We've spied the soon-to-be-revealed Porsche Macan (pictured right) on several occasions, and these slides suggest that the small crossover will have two different types of turbo power under its hood. The Macan S will use a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, while the Macan Turbo will use a 3.6-liter unit. Seven-speed PDK transmissions are expected to be fitted to both, and this leaked information states that the new, small Porsche will cost $52,000 and $75,000 for the S and Turbo versions, respectively.
