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:
Here is a short video of the engine running:

Porsche in Paul Walker fatal accident was traveling over 100 mph before crash
Fri, 03 Jan 2014The Porsche Carrera GT involved in the November crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas was traveling at speeds above 100 miles per hour before Rodas lost control for "unknown reasons," according to a report from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office that has been acquired by The Hollywood Reporter.
Once control was lost, the Porsche spun, hit a curb and then impacted a tree and a light post, then it spun 180 degrees and hit another tree before erupting in flames, the report said. Neither Walker nor Rodas were under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident, according to toxicology reports conducted by the coroner.
As for the future of the Fast and Furious franchise, a separate by The Hollywood Reporter claims director James Wan, writer Chris Morgan and Universal Studios will move forward with the seventh installment in the franchise, which was only partially completed when Walker was killed.
Rimac inks deal to purchase 55% of Bugatti from VW Group
Mon, Jul 5 2021ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian electric supercar builder Rimac is taking over the iconic French manufacturer Bugatti in a deal that is reported to be worth millions of euros. Rimac said GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen Group, including the Porsche division — which owns a majority stake in Bugatti — plans to create a new joint venture. The new company will be called Bugatti-Rimac. Rimac Automobili announced Monday that it will be combining forces with Bugatti to “create a new automotive and technological powerhouse.” Rimac has progressed in 10 years from a one-man garage startup to a successful company that produces electric supercars. Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009, says the venture is an “exciting moment” and calls the combination of the companies “a perfect match for each other.” Porsche will own 45% of Bugatti-Rimac while Rimac Automobili will hold the remaining 55% stake, according to Croatian media reports. Financial details of the deal were not published. Bugattis will continue to be assembled in eastern France, where the company was established in 1909. The vehicles will use engines developed and made in Croatia. “In an industry evolving at ever-increasing speed, flexibility, innovation and sustainability remain at the very core of RimacÂ’s operations," the company said. “Uniting RimacÂ’s technical expertise and lean operations with BugattiÂ’s 110-year heritage of design and engineering prowess represents a fusion of leading automotive minds."
