Original California Black Plate,

1963 Porsche 356B Super Cabriolet

This Porsche 356 has been completely restored.  The car is a stunning investment grade vehicle that is appreciating at a fast rate. I bought this California car from the 2nd owner, had have driven it for years and recently restored it (original owner only owned the car for 9 months in 1963/64). The engine has 25k miles on it since we rebuilt it.

Not only is the car gorgeous, it's a superbly running and handling ride. 
 
The car has been professionally restored top to bottom:
  • New two stage Porsche 356 Silver paint ( original color is cream),
  • Completely new interior black/charcoal,
  • Rebuilt engine 1740 plus cc,
  • New chrome,
  • New rubber/seals,
  • Rebuilt gauges,
  • New Sigla windshield (Porsche OEM supplier),
  • New lower door skins,
  • New soft-top with zipper window and new padding.
  • And much more...
 
The car bottom is original with the original undercoat in many areas (we have not recoated it so you can see it);

Rockers & jack area are clean, battery box was replaced a decade ago and has no rust.

The steering wheel and horn have not been replaced or redone because they look cool worn a bit though the entire dash has been restored. 

Engine p*703519*: Porsche 356 Super though we upped the cylinders to 1740 cc's, and powered painted all sheet metal and finished off with the original water transfer decals. The engine has 25k miles on it since its being rebuilt starts first time, and runs like a top!

Trans: 4 speed original 

Paint : Silver Porsche code, two stage with the best clear coat on the market.

Interior: Black interior upholstery with charcoal square weave German carpet. 

Soft top: Black with haring bone headliner.

Wheels: Chrome rims with Porsche hub caps (not original) with steal belted tires in good condition.
 
The car was rust free except for the doors and when we went to re-skin them, I decided to restore the whole car instead because trying to match 25 year old paint would be impossible, so we restored the entire car.

I have owned a number of 356's over the years and I restore them to look great but be reliable classic you can actually drive and have fun with! Each has sold quickly because of the quality we do AutoMagic Network.com.  

All of my cars are meant to be driven and used though there are meticulously done. We own a body shop in Hermosa Beach Ca. and we also own a detail shop so this car has been well taken care of.

 
What it needs, if you want:
 
The letter "S" (for Super) could be put on the car (we have it in the glove box). 

Steering box is a little sticky and could be rebuilt or replaced ( I have replacement seals).

Few chrome bolts on the sets brackets should be replaced because the original chrome tops are worn and the replacements have flat heads ( I don't like that).

A piece of dust got is in the paint on the drives side quarter panel which should be color sanded or blended ( Porsche Silver).

Interior light and cigarette lighter needs to be hooked up.
 
Bonuses:

The car has a complete tool kit with mostly original tools;

Porsche name plate under hood has been re-plated in nickel and looks amazing;

356 shop manual,

Owners manual/book,

Extra electrical/mechanical parts,

Original tube radio with original speaker covers and new speakers are included.

Complete file on the car with receipts from the last decade.

The entire Porsche 911 history in under 90 seconds

Fri, Feb 12 2016

Over more than 50 years Porsche has taken a terrible idea - hanging an engine behind the rear wheels so that the car will try to go backwards through corners - and turned it into an automotive icon. One way that happened was keeping that unmistakable shape. As you'll see in the video above, the proportions are true to the original even with the relatively radical changes with recent models. The animation includes price and power figures, and even has the model designations, so you can keep up in conversation when a Porschephile starts rambling about random numbers.

2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder marks the return of something great [w/video]

Wed, Apr 1 2015

Welcome back, Porsche Boxster Spyder. We absolutely adored the previous version – a roadster focused solely on driver enjoyment and simplistic perfection. Heck, we didn't even care that it had cloth loops for door handles. And this new model looks to (somehow) offer even more to love. Let's start with that engine: the 3.8-liter flat-six tuned to produce 375 horsepower and mated exclusively to a manual transmission, which powers the Spyder to 60 miles per hour in 4.3 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 180 mph. But power isn't the only thing that makes the Spyder package so great. It uses brakes from the 911 Carrera S, is the lightest Boxster in the range, sits 20 millimeters lower to the ground than the standard car, and still features the manually operated cloth roof from the previous car. And it looks fantastic. Fan-freaking-tastic. Inside, there's a whole lot of nothing, and that's just fine with us. Want a radio? That'll be extra. Air conditioning? Open your wallet for that, too. Seems odd in a car that'll start at $82,100 when it goes on sale later this year. But once again, this Boxster Spyder is a tactile sports car whose only mission is to offer outstanding driving dynamics – comfort options are optional, but not necessary. We can't wait to get our hands on this one. New York International Auto Show 2015: World Premiere of the Boxster Spyder New top model in Boxster family Atlanta. Porsche is highlighting the 2015 convertible season by celebrating the world premiere of the new Boxster Spyder. This pure sports car will make its debut at the New York International Auto Show. The new top model of the Boxster range retains the unique and unmistakable character of the previous Spyder, which has already attained cult status. For example, the classic roadster top is still opened and closed by hand, and the Boxster Spyder is only available with a manual transmission, benefiting both weight savings and driver enjoyment. Staying true to roadster DNA, the Boxster Spyder offers a traditional sports-car driving experience combined with truly exceptional performance. This includes a firm sport suspension with a 20-mm lower ride height, brakes taken from the 911 Carrera S, more direct steering, and a 3.8-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with an output of 375 hp, culminating in a genuine sports car experience with outstanding driving dynamics. It is the lightest model of the current Boxster line, and the most powerful Boxster to date.

Porsche working on turbo V12 for Putin limo project?

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Porsche is best known for building very well-regarded sports cars and better-selling utility vehicles. Come to the company with a big enough bag of cash, though, and the Porsche Engineering division can create just about anything. The group's past projects include working with Harley-Davidson, Mercedes-Benz and corporate cousin Audi, but if rumors prove true, then its latest partner might be the last one you'd expect.
Russian website Wroom reports that Porsche Engineering is building the engine for the Project Cortege government limousine project for Russian president Vladimir Putin. The mill is supposedly a turbocharged V12 displacing between 6.0- and 6.6-liters and making around 800 horsepower. When complete, it will reportedly be built by ZMZ with Russian-sourced parts.
The limo is expected to debut in 2017, according to Wroom, but it's just the beginning of Putin's grandiose plans, which also goes by the name of the Motorcade Project. The same platform is also meant to underpin several vehicles for use by the government, including an SUV, a small bus and a sedan. All of them would reportedly have a longitudinally mounted engine and all-wheel drive.
