Thank you for your interest. I am the third owner, and have only owned the car for a short while. The car was
purchased at Plaza Motor Company in Creve Coeur MO, and spent most of its life in Indiana. The car was sold by the
original family to a nephew in Florida in 2014. My goal was to bring the car to Concours condition, but I am
starting a business and need the cash for start-up costs. The car is mechanically in good condition, and I
recently spent $6100 on maintenance and upgrades.
I have scans of the invoice for the motor work and of the work performed recently in Houston. Also, I have records
including the original dealer invoice, but I don't have regular oil and brake fluid maintenance records before
2005. My understanding is that the car was maintained by the same mechanic (Farmer) for most of its life until
2014.
The car is stock in terms of suspension and other performance items besides the DME chip. The catalytic converter
was removed, but the original exhaust pipe is still on the car. The car was painted in 2005 and the seats were
recovered in the same year. This year, I replaced the existing performance chip with a Steve Wong chip, who also
upgraded the DME board to 28 pin.
Additionally, the motor was rebuilt in 2005 at 109K miles by Farmer Automotive in IN.Heads polished and ported,
cylinders honed, rings replaced, timing chain and rails replaced, valves ground, and guides replaced. 134a air
condition upgraded. Stereo replaced with Alpine CD player. The car has the following new items: Michelin Pilot
Sport tires, OEM brake pads and rotors in the front, rebuilt calipers front and back, SS brake lines, clutch cable,
shifter bushings, battery, spark plugs, air filter, valve adj, valve cover gaskets, Dot 4 brake fluid, Brad Penn
20/50 oil and filter.
The car runs really well. Pulls hard, and drives straight. I believe in as much disclosure as possible, so here
are the things I can think of that are negative:
1) Flaws in the paint job are difficult to detect unless viewed up close, but paint is not perfect.
2) The hood was replaced by the original owner. There is some small amount of corrosion on the hinges where the
new hood was attached, but the metal is solid. No evidence of accident under the car.
3) There is some corrosion around the battery box and the paper liner under the battery is ripped and brittle.
4) There is some corrosion around the underside of the rocker panels near the screw holes.
5) Occasionally, the first-to-second gear shift is a little notchy, so the synchro probably needs replacing at some
point in the future. The rest of the gears are smooth.
6) The front right corner of the windshield is slightly delaminated and you can see moisture. I have sealed the
gasket from the outside, so it shouldn't expand from there.
7) The roof has an indention about the size of a quarter, and maybe an 1/16 of an inch deep. Hard to detect unless
up close.
8) Rear glass heater does not work.

1950s car ads are timeless

Sat, Aug 8 2015

Usually around the Super Bowl a few great car commercials show up, but for the most part auto ads today pale in comparison to the '1950s and '60s. In an era with a truly viable magazine industry, automakers would take out gorgeous full-page spreads to get the word out about their wares. It was also a time when imports were just hitting the US, and there was a boom in sports cars. Car and Driver has gone for a dig into its advertising archives from when the book was known as Sports Cars Illustrated for a truly great viewing experience. You can imagine a young Don Draper mulling over the copy for these ads, but some of it is laughably quaint today. For example, there's a great image of a driver whipping an Austin-Healey 100 around a track. The italicized red text proudly proclaims, "From 0 to 60 MPH in 10.5 seconds." One of the beautiful parts about these advertisements is that you seldom see photos of the cars. Instead, there are often detailed drawings that slightly distort the vehicles' lines. With this approach, the Porsche 356 ends up looking far more curvaceous than in real life. Plus, the front end of the Chrysler 300 looks large enough to land a helicopter on. The whole thing is worth scrolling through. There are some fascinating glimpses into auto history like an ad for Abarth exhausts before the brand was just known for tuning Fiats.

New details mooted about Porsche's '988' Ferrari rival

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

We could be on the verge of a big expansion at everyone's favorite rear-engined German sports car manufacturer. Porsche is allegedly preparing a four-car assault that will be led by a proper challenger to the Ferrari 458 Italia (sorry 911).
Code-named "988," the new model will reportedly feature a mid-engined layout and, get this: a flat-8. Autocar, which has the story, expects that engine to displace about 4.0 liters, while the car itself will draw styling inspiration from the 918 Spyder. 600 ponies and over 400 super-accessible pound-feet of torque should be on tap with the new mill.
Joining the 988's supposed eight-cylinder is a new family of four- and six-cylinder boxer engines that Autocar claims will have a focus on power density and fuel economy. These new mills will be available in naturally aspirated, turbocharged and hybrid forms.

Porsche to develop new line of engines for next Panamera

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.
