Up for sale is my 1965  Porsche SC Coupe, vin 219059. Very solid car, new floors, longitudinals, closing panels and jack spurs along with battery box repair. Floors and metal work are well done. New bumper guards and windshield and back glass rubber and headlight stone guards and deco molding for body and below doors were also added. The car is painted Dolphin grey which is an original Porsche color and has new Aztec red leather interior along with German squareweave charcoal carpets. The driver side  hinge cover indicates that the car originally came painted color code #6405 which is Champagne Yellow.  New door rubber seals and mats and door sill plates with clean headliner complete the interior. No evidence of prior accident damage or collision. The hood is not kinked and the hood pull and engine lid pull and the gas filler door pull all work smoothly.  The paint is driver quality with some minor imperfections (please see link for over 150 photos), overall presentable. There are some slight bubbles on the bottom of the doors. Door bottoms are solid as can be seen by the pictures on the link. Doors and hood and engine lid all close well. The doors have a nice "thud" when they are closed.  The car is titled as a 1965 but actual production year fell in 1964. It was produced toward the end of the 1964 production run and hence by the time it reached the U.S. it became titled as a 1965.

Engine is an "SC" with big bore kit and Dellorto carbs, sport exhaust and new gaskets and seals. A 12 volt conversion was done and the car now has a 12 volt generator. All lights and turn signals and brake lights work. Battery charges as is evident by amp gauge in car, starts every time.  As soon as the key turns the ignition the engine roars to life with no delay. A 12 volt Optima battery provides dependable starting and power to the car.  Engine holds an idle and will idle smoothly. Excellent oil pressure the whole time the engine is running holding 35-40 lbs at idle and 50-65 lbs running down the road. Four wheel disc brakes stop the car on a dime and pull "straight", stopping the car evenly and quickly, if necessary.  At highway speeds the car tracks straight and does not pull to either side. Clutch is strong and synchros in all four forward gears shift smoothly as does reverse. The speedometer and odometer work as does the tachometer; the combination gauge is not hooked up since there is another gauge for oil pressure and the gas gauge is currently not working. Horn and windshield wipers work. Tires are near new and have plenty of tread. Sometime in the car's past the engine was changed. A complete engine rebuild was done in 2008 where the engine was removed and re-sealed and newly machined cylinder heads were installed. It was also converted to 12 volt at this time (receipt in hand). 15" Fuch alloy wheels and new Koni shocks upgrade the suspension.

Porsche 919 Hybrid used 500 gallons of fuel to win Le Mans

Tue, Jun 23 2015

After 395 laps and over 3,300 miles covered, Porsche claimed its record seventeenth overall win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year. Those, however, were only a few of the numbers that went into the German team's landmark campaign, the fourth one-two victory in the history of its assault on the endurance race. And now it has released some of the other mind-boggling figures behind its win. Over the course of 24 grueling hours of competition, the winning Porsche 919 Hybrid averaged a staggering 139 miles per hour, reaching a top speed of over 211 mph. Along the way, the winning car changed gears over 25,000 times. We can imagine the drivers worked up quite a sweat in a cockpit, whose temperature topped 80 degrees, with less than a quart of water to drink during each stint between pit stops – the longest of which lasted over ten hours. Little wonder that Mark Webber lost over six and a half pounds by the end of the ordeal. Naturally, pit stops played a huge part in the campaign, and the team – whose headcount topped 120 – carried out 90 stops (30 per car) over the course of the race. All told, the three cars went through 116 tires, each car had its oil refilled entirely, and the winning car alone swallowed up 500 gallons of fuel. And that's not even counting the energy recuperated by the electric component of the hybrid powertrain, which would be enough to power a family home for three months. Those are just some of the most notable figures, but they give us a pretty good idea of the enormity of the whole endeavor. Want to read more? There's a whole list of numbers in the press release below. Related Video: The 17th overall victory for Porsche at the Le Mans 24-Hours 395 laps to victory Stuttgart. On Sunday, 14th June 2015, the trio of Earl Bamber (NZ), Nico Hulkenberg (GER) and Nick Tandy (GBR) took the 17th overall victory for Porsche at the Le Mans 24-Hours. They were followed across the line by the sister car of Timo Bernhard (GER), Brendon Hartley (NZ) and Mark Webber (AUS). This made it the fourth one-two result for the brand after achieving this in 1971, 1987 and 1998. But there are more interesting facts and figures about the race. • The winning team completed 395 laps (5,382,82 kilometres). This year's race was only two laps short of the longest distance covered in Le Mans back in 2010. • The average speed of the winning Porsche 919 Hybrid was 224.2 km/h.

Porsche's former CEO Wiedeking to stand trial over VW-share manipulation

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (left in the above photo) could potentially be facing some time in the slammer after all. The last we had heard, he and former Chief Financial Officer Holger Haerter (right) had avoided a trial in April due to a lack of evidence. However, an appeals court in Stuttgart has looked at the case again and overruled the earlier decision, finding that the executives should be tried for share manipulation during Porsche's failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008, Bloomberg reports.
The judges in the appeal "list numerous indications that could suggest that there was a hidden decision to increase the stake as they could suggest the opposite evaluation by the lower court," said Stefan Schueler, a spokesperson for the court, in a statement cited by Bloomberg. Wiedeking and Haerter put out their own releases saying that there was no merit to the charges.
The prosecutors allege that Wiedeking and Haerter had a plan to buy up VW stock options in 2008 to take the automotive giant over but hid it from investors. The whole thing was a massive failure and eventually allowed VW the chance to acquire Porsche and forced the two execs to step down. In addition to the criminal investigation, hedge funds have attempted to sue the company multiple times in civil court for the same reason, but they have repeatedly failed.
