This is a garage kept, 1957 Porsche 356A
speedster replica. It was factory built by Vintage Speedsters out of Hawaiian
Gardens California, in 2000. The odometer on this vehicle is metric, at 20,091
kilometers or approximately 12400 miles. I have owned this car for five years
and conducted routine maintenance, as well as many mechanical and cosmetic
upgrades; most notably, improved paint, brakes and exhaust. This car is driven
routinely, but only in optimal conditions, approximately once a week, on days
off, with good weather. I will provide a full maintenance history for whom ever
purchases this car. Scheduled maintenance was conducted
routinely every 3000 miles like clockwork. The engine is spotless, with no grease or oil spills. The oil in the case is clear, clean and near translucent.
Power Plant: 1600 cc air cooled, Volkswagen engine, with dual carbs which produce about 90 HP (an original Porsche 356 would only produce about 75 HP ), with a 4-speed manual transmission. Unlike the originals, this car possesses a beefed up suspension, 12 volt electrical (as opposed to 6 volt) and disc brakes. It is reliable, safe and fun to drive. New upgraded wooden Nardi steering wheel, driving lights, mesh stone guards, Authentic Badging (from Stoddard), Original Porsche Crested Super Hub Caps (from Stoddard), with leather rally hood straps that mimic James Dean’s “Lil Bastard” 550S. The total value for the fore mentioned upgrades is at $2600 installed, with an additional $2200 for the improved paint and clear coat. The convertible
top is in average condition and hardly used. Some wear is apparent, and one snap is broken. If you anticipate using the top
routinely, I would replace it at some point, but it is not urgent and is fully
functional. As there is some wear on it, and the rest of the car is pristine,
the wear on the top becomes noticeable to an observant eye, but not obvious.
(see photos) The previous owner had never used the convertible top, and I have
never taken it out in the rain. Effectively, I put the top up for the photos to
show the completeness of the car. It has upgraded canvas side curtains, as opposed to Vinyl,
as well as an 8 ply, water proof cover, black leatherette interior with the
original coco-mats and authentic, period correct, seat belts ordered from Stoddard Air Cooled
Porsche. It is very difficult to tell this car apart from the originals. I
have inadvertently fooled Porsche owners at shows.I have
priced this car to sell at $22700.00, well below similar vehicles with fewer
upgrades. The gear box works fantastically,
with no synchro problems or reverse "pop out." It drives smooth and
strong. It’s just a fantastic car to drive, and a magnet for attention. It is
not uncommon for people to stop and take photos of her. I cruise @ 70mph
without any problems. She can go faster, but it’s more fun to cruise. You don’t
have to get there first, but you will look better than everyone else upon your
arrival. Very fun to valet. This vehicle is represented as accurately as possible. Potential buyers, please feel free to ask any further questions or make photo requests not included in the ad.

Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.
Porsche tops J.D. Power quality index as Korean brands soar
Thu, Jun 18 2015While complaints about infotainment systems remain a thorn in the side of automakers for J.D. Power's annual Initial Quality Study, there's a lot to celebrate this year. The average number of problems reported per 100 vehicles fell to 112 in 2015 – a three-percent improvement compared to 116 in 2014. The results of this year's survey are based on the responses of over 84,000 people about problems within the first 90 days of buying or leasing a 2015 model-year vehicle. For the third consecutive year, Porsche tops the rankings with an average of 80 problems per 100 vehicles. Although, that's slightly more than the 74 the German sportscar maker scored in 2014. "While the Japanese automakers continue to make improvements, we're seeing other brands, most notably Korean makes, really accelerating the rate of improvement," Renee Stephens, vice president of US automotive quality at J.D. Power, said in the study's release. In fact, Kia ranks as one of the biggest movers in this year's list. The Korean brand jumped to second place from seventh last year. The company had an average of 86 problems per 100 vehicles, a 20-point improvement. Third place went to Jaguar with an average of 93 problems reported, versus last year's second-place finish with 87 of them. Fourth place was Hyundai, and fifth-place Infiniti also earned a gold star for improvement with 97 issues per 100 vehicles – 31-points better than last year. Fiat still anchored the bottom of the list. However, its 161 problems this year is a lot better than the 206 in 2014. Ranked by nationality, Korean brands (Hyundai and Kia) are now leading the industry in initial quality with an average of 90 problems reported per 100 vehicles. According to J.D. Power, this is the first time Europe's figure beat Japan with 113 and 114 issues, respectively. The American brands also averaged 114. Whereas General Motors dominated last year, the segment awards are spread out in 2015. GM, Hyundai, Nissan, and Volkswagen Group are all tied with four models each earning prizes. For more information, you can also see all of the graphs, here. J.D.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
