It is hard to put a value on something that is so extraordinary that is truly one of a kind. What price after all could one put on pure bliss? If you are reading this ad, you know probably can imagine the feeling of getting in your dream car and putting some distance between you and your everyday life.
There is no doubt certain cars create an absolute frenzy. They can draw crowds, spark up nostalgia and almost immediately make our lives that much less ordinary. With a turn of their ignition they can forge a grin on the toughest of men and with each passing mile make our dreams come true.
These cars have a blend that is one part beautiful design, one part extreme power to weight and a dash of adrenaline that can only be enhanced by a sound so symphonic it stays in in our minds vault for an eternity.
This ad is to showcase on of these very special cars. Ava is a Porsche 356 Outlaw Replica that can stand proudly amongst some of the world’s most beautiful vehicles. Designed and professionally built to spec for a high performance 911 drivetrain, positively no excuses need be made regarding her heritage.
Ava’s collection of best in show trophies and her online following speak volumes to the fanfare that has resulted since a recent refit and transition into a full on yet fully drivable 356 Outlaw Roadster. The car’s work was performed by some of the best talent in my region and a complete history of the work performed will transition to Ava’s next keeper.
Ultimately my goal with Ava was to create a best of its kind Outlaw and that’s what I believe you see before you today. The car can be driven with tremendous enthusiasm for hundreds of miles on end. The fiberglass 356 body eliminates the concern of rust and expands the car’s usability while the scorching performance delivered by a 200+ Horsepower Porsche Flat Six and highly modified suspension places Ava’s go fast capabilities can humiliate many a late model super car.
Some Details:
Ava is Historic Registered and Titled in NJ as a 1956 356 Porsche. Her power comes from a very warmed up John Donohue built 2.7 Liter motor with Mahle pistons, a set of Webers and a laundry list of other hi-po goodies.
The car was manufactured using a slab side body with very minor rear SC style flares over a modified partial tube frame, Porsche 911 rear suspension, Disk Breaks and a Porsche 5 speed 901 transmission.
As you look through the supporting photos you will start to see the car was not intended to reflect any one particular 356 model year. Nor was it supposed to be an exact clone. While the original cars are great, Ava was never intended to be passed off this of as part of their tribe.
Some of trim pieces that make this 356 replica so special include: Dash Mounted Heuer Stopwatches, Custom Fitted 356 Carrera Rear Valance, Adjustable SuperTrap Trumpets, Route 30 Classics-Speedster Headrest Cowl, Fibersteel Porsche 550 Spyder Mirrors and Leather Bonnet Straps, Nardi Wheel with Porsche Crest, Original Early Series Porsche Fuchs, Lemans Style Auxiliary Lamps, an Original 356: rear Deck Lid, Door Strikes, Hinges, Gas Tank, Glass, Convertible D Top Frame and German Cloth Top and soft cover as well as a fair amount of other original 356 trim bits throughout.
Starting out, the objective was to have a very unique car that would sound epic, look ravishing, and drive like a street legal racer. The great conversations and new friendships, trophies and other attention well…they became pleasant but unexpected outcomes of life with Ava.

NYT profiles Blue Nelson, a reclusive and interesting CA car collector
Thu, 25 Sep 2014If it weren't for his Dale Earnhardt Sr. looks, Blue Nelson could be one one of those soft-spoken, nondescript guys whom you meet briefly and never learn much more about. However, as The New York Times shows in a recent profile and video, behind closed doors, Nelson keeps a fascinatingly eclectic collection of automotive oddities and vintage bicycles.
While his main career is in the movie industry, Nelson's other job is as a car hunter. He takes on clients searching for a specific model and helps them find and restore the dream vehicle that they're after. Hiring him takes some dedication, though, because Nelson doesn't advertise his services. "If people want to find me, they know how to find me," he says in the video.
Beyond being an automotive private detective, Nelson has a fantastically varied collection of vehicles of his own. He likes to have models that people don't usually see, and his garage holds a classic Chrysler New Yorker and an extremely rare Rometsch convertible. Although, the one that means the most to him is the 1962 Porsche 356 convertible that Blue came home in as a baby. Check out the video to learn more about Nelson and his philosophy about forming a bond with a car.
Petrolicious details why the Porsche 911 is something special
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The Porsche 911 is a special car, if for no other reasons than it's been continuously produced since 1964, with nearly every generation regarded as being at or near the top of its class. But why the rear-engined icon has done so well among enthusiasts and regular drivers alike can't always be explained easily. To truly understand the 911, you have to experience the whole package, and that means driving one.
While just about every publication has raved about the Porsche, commercial director, race driver, photographer and 911 owner Jeff Zwart explains to Petrolicious why he was drawn to the legend as a young child, and why he still loves them today.
Zwart's professional and personal life are inextricably linked to the 911, and hearing him talk about the car and its history makes for fascinating viewing. Watch the video below to hear Zwart's story and see him drive a couple examples from his collection: an early 911 and the 964-generation Carrera 4 he won Pikes Peak with for the first time - a car that happens to be equipped with the 959 Paris-Dakar's fascinating torque-split transmission. Enjoy!
2014 Porsche Panamera 4S Executive
Fri, 09 Aug 2013If the idea of a Porsche sedan (or, long hatchback) is still off-putting to you, then you might want to look away now. For 2014, the polarizing Panamera has received a midcycle refresh bringing slightly different styling, as well as adding two new models to the lineup, the S E-Hybrid and the stretched-wheelbase Executive. Having focused most of my recent trip to Germany on a First Drive of the intriguing plug-in Panamera, I also got to spend some time with the roomier Executive model.
Offered in both 4S and Turbo guise, the Panamera Executive has been stretched by almost six inches for the sole purpose of improving rear passenger space. Although it's hard to imagine anyone would willingly buy a Porsche and opt to sit in the back seat, I'd have to say that if I'm going to be chauffeured around in a car, why not make it a Porsche? For the most part, though, I'm guessing that many Panamera Executive sedans will be owned by people who want to one-up their buddy driving a stretched BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
