Porsche 356 B with matching numbers engine*. An original vehicle
in need of a complete restoration. This is my fourth such restoration 356 that I have
owned. I have restored some fully
and others partially, but all the others have now been sold (when the body is
painted, people will start enquiring – and the offers will flow until you receive
one that you just can’t refuse! – that’s been my experience). I no longer possess the time and
inclination to complete this last one, due to the birth of my twins. This
vehicle epitomizes the classic Porsche style and quality of yesteryear. The quintessential Porsche for every
collector, and a necessary addition to any real car collection. This particular vehicle will require rust restoration in the usual places for these vehicles, but there is a lot of life left in her, and the thick paint has protected a lot of the outside panels.
This is the iconic sports car that started the Porsche Company
and its racing legacy. If you would like to have a car that will continue
to appreciate in value and be useable as an every day dependable and fun
vehicle to drive, while only sipping gasoline, this may be the vehicle for you.
The continuous rise in the price of these iconic vehicles guarantees
that you will have made a sound automotive investment that will pay you
dividends for years to come. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche the 356 has always been popular with both the public
and the motoring press. In 2004, Sports Car International
ranked the 356 tenth on their list
of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. Today, the Porsche 356 is a highly regarded collector
car. Thousands of owners worldwide maintain the 356 traditions, preserving
their cars and driving them regularly. The US-based 356 Registry on its website
states that it is "...world's largest classic Porsche club."
Classic Porsches in general, and the 356 in particular were meant to be
driven by drivers who possessed real skill and ability. They sold to those who desired and coveted
the hand made quality of true craftsman, and they were built in limited numbers. Unlike today’s cookie cutter computer
controlled cars that are built to appeal to the largest segment of the
population possible, these appealed to drivers, real drivers and connoisseurs. They have never been cheap, and will
never be cheap to buy, but they are easy to own – German engineering and Bosch electrical
components. The new corporate approach
for Porsche vehicles is a response to market surveys. Whereas the original
Porsches were meant to be driven by real drivers and win races, new Porsches
are designed to be driven by everyone and anyone who can afford the price of
admission. With all their gadgetry and gimmicks, they make a bad driver look
good, and a good driver look great.
Personally, I would prefer to see this go to an individual who will
restore it themselves, as I planned, but considering the make, model and the current
market, I understand and accept that it likely will be snapped up by a
collector or professional restorer.
*The gentlemen I purchased the vehicle from represented that it is the original engine from the factory; I have not verified it with Porsche. Sold as is where is with no express or implied warranty of fitness for any particular purpose. |

The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959
Thu, Apr 9 2015There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.

Proof the world revolves around the Porsche Cayman
Sat, 27 Apr 2013Or at least the world revolves underneath the Porsche Cayman, in the latest video showing off Stuttgart's mid-engine coupe. Porsche put an Easter egg in the world that spins triple-time, a "famous relative" of the Cayman hidden somewhere on the marble planet, and gave a Porsche Martini bag to one of the first 50 people who could point it out.
With more than 300 views there's no chance you'll win the bag, but you can still go on the treasure hunt in the video below.
Techart tastefully tunes Porsche 911, Cayenne
Tue, Mar 1 2016German tuning haus Techart is making a big showing at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, introducing modified versions of a number of Porsche products. At the fore, we have the new, all-turbo 911 range. Techart has turned its hand to both the turbocharged 911 and the new 911 Turbo (this will get less confusing, right?) with a range of upgrades covering performance and aesthetics. Techart has boosted the Carrera S from 420 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque to 460 ponies and 413 lb-ft of torque. The Turbo S gets a bigger boost, going from 580 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque to 640 hp and 649 lb-ft. It's not clear how Techart has made these gains, aside from the company's "Techtronic" engine management. Surprisingly for an aftermarket tuner at Geneva, Techart's exterior treatments are downright tasteful. There are new front and rear clips and a selection of rear wings, helpfully called Rear Wing I and Rear Wing II, while the diffusers and side skirts are also swapped out. We also dig the center-exit exhaust and its four meaty tips. On the opposite end of the equation, Techart is also modding the Cayenne range. The new Magnum Sport treatment can be applied to the base diesel-powered Cayenne and Cayenne S, the gas-powered GTS, and the Turbo with varying degrees of performance, but it's the force-induced Cayenne we're most interested. In its most potent form, the turbocharged V8 can be boosted from 520 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque to 700 hp and 678 lb-ft. At this level of performance, the Cayenne's sprint falls from 4.4 seconds to just 4.1. That ties the stock Cayenne Turbo S, but it's worth noting the Magnum Sport will do 183 miles per hour to the factory model's 176. Like the 911, there's a slew of aesthetic upgrades regardless of which Cayenne your Magnum is based on. The full body kit isn't as tasteful as the 911. The overall look is far more aggressive and dare we say aftermarket, with plenty of carbon-fiber accents, a very low ride and a serious wide-body look. In particular, the new front and rear fascia present a much more imposing appearance. There's also a carbon-fiber hood, because the aftermarket. We've snapped Techart's modified Cayenne and 911 on the floor of the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. And if you scroll down, there's also the official galleries and press releases for both models.
