1963 Porsche 356 on 2040-cars
Roseville, California, United States
I purchased this 356B T-6 two years ago from the second owner. The car was purchased in San Diego California by the original owner and has been in California for most of its life with the exception of 2 years when it was garaged in Chicago while the owner was stationed overseas. It was a dealer demo car that was ordered in Bali Blue/Red Leatherette (this was not a factory combo). The car retains its original transmission #60849 and I have the original engine #609975 though it is not in the car (it will not turn over but it is complete except for fly wheel and belly tin). Currently the car has a Super 90 #705726 that runs beautifully. I have driven the car for the last two years on 500+ mile rallies and several club drives as well as normal driving around town with zero problems. The original owner drove the car regularly and converted the car to a split 6/12 volt system it retains that system and is trouble free. The only item on the car that I have found that doesn't work is the tachometer (cable needs to be replaced), it does not have the original radio, tool kit or dash pad. I have some paperwork on the car that I found when I was going through the car that will come with it.
This is an unrestored car that is VERY RUST FREE, the only two spots I have found are surface rust on the rear side windows that's it. The pan and and all underneath are very solid, the car would be a great restoration candidate or preservation class with some work on the seats. The headliner is in good condition and the door panels and rear seats are good considering the age, all chrome trim pieces are in good shape no pitting or anything, the cover for the trunk is original and in very good condition and it has the original jack, the original rubber floor mat is in the car. The original wheels and caps are also on the car and 3 are date stamped 10/62 and 2 are stamped 8/62 and I just put new tires on the car. At some point the front of the car was painted (looks like a minor accident as there is no signs of damage other than the respray that is aging-see photos). I believe that the roof, rear and the doors retain their factory paint (with the exception of 1/2 the driver's side door - see photo). I have the COA from Porsche North America and please note this comes with both engines so please consider that in your shipping costs. If you only want the original engine I can put it in the car but you must let me know in advance and we can work something out on the cost. I will deliver it to the port of Oakland, California USA if my reserve is met but the buyer is responsible for ALL shipping costs. These unrestored rust free cars are getting harder to find and I have tried to describe as accurately as I can but if here is something you would like to know email me and I get back to you. |

Kia leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2022
Thu, Feb 10 2022For the first year ever, Kia leads J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study with a score of 145 problems per 100 vehicles. Buick (147) and Hyundai (148) round out the top three. The highest premium brand on the list is Genesis, with a score of 148. It's common for so-called "mass market" brands to lead this particular study, according to J.D. Power, as "premium" brands "typically incorporate more technology in their vehicles, which increases the likelihood for problems to occur" and aren't necessarily built to a higher standard that less-expensive brands. The highest-rated single nameplate is the Porsche 911. It's the third time out of the past four years and the second year in a row that Porsche's quintessential sports car has taken top honors. Porsche as a brand sits in seventh place (162) just behind Lexus (159) and ahead of Dodge (166). At the very bottom of the list is Land Rover with a dismal score of 284; the SUV specialist held the same unfortunate distinction on last year's list. Ram (266), Volvo (256), Alfa Romeo (245) and Acura (244) also performed poorly. The overall industry average score sits at 192 — mass market brands average a score of 190 while premium brands sit 14 points lower at 204. While Tesla is unofficially included in some of J.D. Power's results, the agency says the sample size it has access to for this study is too small to include. As has been the case for the past several years, infotainment systems dominate the list of problems reported by owners. Popular (or unpopular, depending on your point of view) complaints include built-in voice recognition (8.3 PP100), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity (5.4 PP100), built-in Bluetooth system (4.5 PP100), not enough power plugs/USB ports (4.2 PP100), navigation systems difficult to understand/use (3.7 PP100), touchscreen/display screen (3.6 PP100), and navigation system inaccurate/outdated map (3.6 PP100). While problems with the car's infotainment and technology packages are indeed bothersome, it's important to remember that such issues aren't usually leaving owners stranded with an immovable vehicle like a broken transmission or blown engine would. Culling infotainment complaints from the results would reduce the average problem-per-100-vehicle score by a staggering 51.9 points. The vehicles included in this study are from the 2019 model year. That means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's the 33rd year that J.D.
2015 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid
Fri, Mar 13 2015When the Porsche Panamera joined the hybrid poker game with the S Hybrid, it started with a seat at the penny-ante table: engineers inserted a 47-horsepower electric motor between the gas engine and eight-speed automatic, powered by a 1.7-kWh nickel-metal hydride battery. It was tiny stakes, the kind of non-risk taken when you're trying to figure out both how to play the game and how you want to play the game. After two years of experimenting, the 2015 Panamera S E-Hybrid makes a bigger bet – the kind that requires paper bills and the maxim, "If you can't fold it, hold it." Porsche's plug-in hybrid gets every adjective we expect of a successor from Stuttgart: more complex, more efficient, more powerful and faster. Driving Notes The electric motor leaps from 47 hp to 95 hp thanks to more windings on the stator coils and new power electronics. The battery goes from a 1.7-kWh nickel-metal hydride unit to 9.4-kWh lithium-ion setup; it's the same physical size as before, still mounted under the cargo deck. Internal combustion still comes from the Audi-sourced, 333-hp, supercharged V6, but total system power goes from 380 hp and 428 pound-feet of torque in the S Hybrid to 416 hp and 435 lb-ft in the S E-Hybrid. The previous system could run a mile on electricity, this one is estimated to last more than 20 miles on e-power on the European cycle. The 0-60 dash takes 5.2 seconds, down from 5.7 seconds; top speed in electric-only mode is 84 mph – up from 50 mph. It takes 2.5 hours at a 240-volt outlet to fully recharge the battery; the Porsche Universal Charger comes equipped with a cable for that and a standard 120-volt socket. Only Panamera obsessives will notice the sheetmetal changes for 2015, but there are sharper lines on the front and rear fascias, faint revisions made to the light clusters, wider glass – over the same-sized opening – on the rear tailgate, and a wider rear spoiler. Outsiders will know the S E-Hybrid because of Acid Green highlights on the fender and tailgate logos, as well as the Acid Green brake calipers. Inside, the central tach remains, but the analog speedometer was evicted to make space for the battery power meter, and Acid Green needles dance across all the gauges. The navigation screen shows your electric driving range and the Porsche Car Connect service provides the expected, smartphone-controlled e-mobility features.
