Up for sale is my 1962 Porsche 356 Cabriolet Super, Reuter Body Number 155743, with matching Super engine number 700266,  produced in late 1961 and titled as a 1962. Car is pictured with the hardtop. Found sitting quietly in dry storage until recently, with both tops, hard top and soft convertible top, car is complete with all of its parts including the front bumper which is present but not pictured. Brought into our shop and with a fresh battery and fresh gas running to the fuel pump, we spun it over and it fired right up! Last on the road in 1978 shows the sticker in the windshield. Engine runs beautifully as you can see in the video below and holds an idle very well. Needs new muffler but carbs are tight with no leaks and after running the engine for 30 minutes the temperature gauge holds evenly just a quarter inch above cold. Oil looks good. Engine takes the gas well with no misfiring or misses or engine noise in the upper rpms. There are no excessive oil leaks. Just the normal ones.

Car was originally white (paint code 738) with red leather upholstery. Seats are out so that you can see the floors. While it still retains its original floors, it will need some floor repair as can be seen by the pictures. Doors close beautifully with a nice "thud" and engine lid and hood close nicely as well with even gaps all the way around. Hood fits wells, closes well, and is not kinked. The body shows no damage of major accident and the body lines and gaps are excellent. This car will need to be restored before it can be driven. It presents an excellent basis to start with and we see very nice examples that are matching numbers bringing more than $125K. It has all of the parts necessary to make this a top flight car. The Porsche 356 open cars are dearly sought after and are becoming very difficult to find in a condition that is restorable. It seems that those that are restored are cresting $100k for an entry level example. Please see over 100 photos on the link below:

Editors' Picks June 2024: Some German SUVs and an excellent sports car

Fri, Jul 5 2024

This month sees some recently-refreshed luxury SUVs join the list of Editors' Picks. Both the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne are fresh for 2024, and both are extremely tempting luxury performance SUVs for the well-off buyer. The vast array of powertrains available for both of them ensure there's a version for all comers, and any enthusiast would adore the extra-high-performance versions of both. Of course, enthusiasts will enjoy the last car on this month's list the most with the Lotus Emira. It's simply spectacular to drive, and we can't recommend it enough to the hardcore driver. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. You'll find the entire list of Editors' Picks at this link here, which we keep updated as cars are either added or dropped from the list. The vehicles youÂ’ll find below consist of every car we rated in June that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 BMW X5 2024 BMW X5 M Competition View 41 Photos Quick take: The X5 is most desirable in its PHEV and M60i V8 trims, but the whole lineup is extremely competent and brings together excellent performance, excess luxury and cutting-edge tech for its segment. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Mercedes-Benz GLE, Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Sport, Maserati Levante, Genesis GV80, Audi Q8 Pros: Superb to drive with knockout powertrains; excellent utility and creative features; styling is sporty and attractive but not over the top Cons: Infotainment system can be a pain; M Competition model is a little over the top; gets pricey quick with options From the editors:  Senior Editor, Electric John Beltz Snyder — "I really like the dual-opening liftgate/tailgate combo. The liftgate portion up top opens quickly, allowing you to throw something inside or grab something out of the back. Flipping down the lower tailgate part gives you a nice place to sit and change shoes. Another benefit is that you can open the liftgate without unsecured items immediately falling out. And with the way the X5 M Competition encourages you to drive it hard, you will end up shifting loose cargo around at some point." Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "I'd snag the X5 M60i out of all the various X5 variants.

Porsche recalls new 911 models over exhaust pipe issues

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Porsche, though the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, announced a voluntary recall on about 2,200 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models built during the 2012 and 2013 model years. On cars equipped with the standard exhaust system it was found that the tailpipes could separate from the mufflers and become dangerous road debris; models that added the optional sport exhaust system are not included in this recall.
Affected vehicles were built between March and November of last year, but there have been no reports of the problem on any customer-owned vehicles. Porsche first noticed a cracked tailpipe weld on a test vehicle back in May, and since then has found similar problems on other internally owned vehicles, all with more than 25,000 miles on the clock. To fix the problem, dealers will be replacing the mufflers. Scroll down to read the official notice.

Magnus Walker shows us how driving in LA is done

Tue, May 12 2015

Southern Calfiornia has some great driving roads if you can get out of the city, from the Angeles Crest Highway to Mulholland Drive. Driving in LA itself, on the other hand, is usually more of an ordeal than a pleasure. But Magnus Walker is here to show us we're wrong. In this latest, artfully produced video for eGarage, everyone's favorite outlaw Zuffenhausen enthusiast takes to the streets of Los Angeles in his highly modified 1971 Porsche 911T street racer, carving his favorite route through the city. The drive takes him through plenty of tunnels (so you'll want to turn up your speakers to hear the exhaust note reverberate), around corners aplenty, past the Petersen and even down some freeways – it is LA, after all. But the key here is that he's driving late at night, when the streets are empty and Magnus can do his best homage to C'etait un rendez-vous.
