This is a very nice driver condition RARE 1958 Porsche 356a with beehive tail lamps. I have owned this vehicle for a couple of years and am thinning out some of my collection. I purchased this off of an elderly couple who owned the vehicle for over 30 years and had a wonderful story to go with the vehicle. They were in my neighborhood and had this parked in the back of their garage for years without any of the neighbors knowing it. The body is unbelievably straight with zero rust. The underneath is good shape and has had the floor pans replaced. They did a decent job for what it is worth but not concourse. The battery box is pictured and has minimal rust. The engine area looks great. Vehicle VIN 103382 Engine stamp KD*P*86444. The paint looks beautiful as a driver and does have a few cracks in it however this is a drivers car or an outstanding candidate for full restoration. Again, I drive this vehicle to cruise nights, car shows etc...so it is not a trailer queen. Interior works just fine but seats etc...would need to be redone as pictured. It has the right amount of patina to look original but show nicely. I also have a box with additional original parts that are hard to find such as metal bumper stops, jack, visors etc...
I purchased this vehicle as I have always loved them and was much more of a fan of the tail lamps in this formation vs. the tear drop. I spent over 5k last year having work done at a 356 specialty shop to make it a beautiful running car. I would drive this vehicle across the country...of course I wouldn't as it is a 1958 but it handles, stops, accelerates and drives as it should. Occasionally you may get a light grind going into reverse. All lights, wipers, gauges etc. work. This car looks fantastic at ten feet. I have loved it and had it repaired to be a reliable VERY NICE driver. This is not a 100k car obviously but 58s are hard to come by. If you have watched these cars the value continues to rise. Here is a list of things I just had replaced and/or worked on: Set front toe/replace rubber steering coupler, replaced rear brake shoes and adjusted brakes front and rear, flush brake system, replaced rear axle bearing seals and set pre load on bearings, replaced axle boots, changed gear oil, changed oil and filter, removed filter can and cleaned, rebuilt both zenith carbs, complete and install two fuel filters, replaced spark plugs and setup engine complete (dwell ignition timing and air fuel ratio), fill steering box and adjust, checked and repaired wire ends and harness, remove and repair passenger side wiper transmission, repair shifter linkage. I have receipts for all work. Any questions please let me know. |

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
Wingsuits are somehow involved in new season of 'Top Gear'
Mon, Jan 14 2019It's a shame that Matt LeBlanc is leaving "Top Gear," but there's a bit of solace in the situation: There's still one more season of him as frontman. BBC just released the new trailer for series 26, and it shows LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid getting into all sorts of shenanigans around the globe. "Top Gear" announced LeBlanc's imminent departure back in May 2018, but he still had to finish one more season before leaving. Thus, the upcoming series will be his last, and it looks like he'll go out in a whirlwind of dust, bent metal, water spray and burnt rubber. The trailer shows everything expected from a season of the storied automotive show (well, everything except Hammond, May, and Clarkson, if you're one of those people). There will be precision driving, dubious stunts, name-calling and gobs of stunning videography. In the short one-minute clip, there are flashes of numerous attention-piquing vehicles. The new Bentley Continental GT, a Bentley Le Mans racer, Porsches, Ferraris, the Aston Martin Vantage, and the Mercedes-AMG GT all make appearances. And for some random fun, the boys are seen in wingsuits (doubtful it's actually them), and playing polo in some three-wheel rickshaws (before wrecking said rickshaws). We'll update with more information as soon as we know when the show will start.
