1961 Porsche 356 Roadster. Last Single Grill Roadster Made By Porsche on 2040-cars
Springfield, Virginia, United States
|
1961 Porsche 356 D'Ieteren Roadster. It is the last single grill example made, chassis number 89483. It does not have the original engine or transmission. The engine is built on a 1960 Normal case P 604667. A very strong engine, it was rebuilt with Solexes, Mahle Ps & Cs, and a mild cam. MSD distributor and ignition system. 12 Volt electricals, small diameter generator. It has been painted Platinum Silver, it was originally Ivory 6004. Gray square weave carpet with piping to match the Lobster leather. The metal work, bodywork, and mechanicals were done to a very high standard by Lowell Sivey approximately 10 years ago. No rust. It drives beautifully, and honestly needs nothing other than to be driven and maintained. If returning it cosmetically to original condition is desired, it would be relatively straightforward as all of the mechanical and bodywork is done. It has been stored in a climate controlled garage, and driven less than 4000 miles since the work was completed. Routine maintenance was performed by Karosserie Ltd. in Fairfax VA as needed., and it was serviced this September. It was restored some years ago, and it is not perfect. That said, it is nicer in most ways than many freshly restored examples.
The car is available for inspection by appointment in Northern Virginia. |

Evo sets up duel of Porsche 911s
Thu, 20 Mar 2014What's better, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive? That question has occupied auto enthusiasts for years, and so far, we've not really had a solid answer one way or the other. Evo has opted to take another whack at this tough question by pairing a pair of Porsche 911s against each other for a track battle.
In one corner, we have the two-wheel-drive 911 Carrera S, complete with the lickity-split PDK transmission, a sports suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. In the other corner, it's the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4S in a much mellower spec, with a seven-speed manual, as well as standard brakes and suspension. While the results seem like they'd be a foregone conclusion, some very British weather is there to act as the great equalizer.
We've got the full video down below. Have a look, and let us know if you agree with Evo's results.
These are the cars with the best and worst depreciation after 5 years
Thu, Nov 19 2020The average new vehicle sold in America loses nearly half of its initial value after five years of ownership. No surprise there; we all expect that shiny new car to start depreciating as soon as we drive it off the lot. But some vehicles lose value a lot faster than others. According to data provided by iSeeCars.com, trucks and truck-based sport utility vehicles generally hold their value better than other vehicle types, with the Jeep Wrangler — in both four-door Unlimited and standard two-door styles — and Toyota Tacoma sitting at the head of the pack. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited's average five-year depreciation of 30.9% equals a loss in value of $12,168. That makes Jeep's four-door off-roader the best overall pick for buyers looking to minimize depreciation. The Toyota Tacoma's 32.4% loss in initial value means it loses just $10,496. The smaller dollar amount — the least amount of money lost after five years — indicates that Tacoma buyers pay less than Wrangler Unlimited buyers, on average, when they initially buy the vehicle. The standard two-door Jeep Wrangler is third on the list, depreciating 32.8% after five years and losing $10,824. Click here for a full list of the top 10 vehicles with the least depreciation over five years. On the other side of the depreciation coin, luxury sedans tend to plummet in value at a much faster rate than other vehicle types. The BMW 7 Series leads the losers with a 72.6% drop in value after five years, which equals an alarming $73,686. BMW's slightly smaller 5 Series is next, depreciating 70.1%, or $47,038, over the same period. Number three on the biggest losers list is the Nissan Leaf, the only electric vehicle to appear in the bottom 10. The electric hatchback matches the 5 Series with a 70.1% drop in value, but since it's a much cheaper vehicle, that percentage equals a much smaller $23,470 loss.
