You are bidding on a two owner, numbers matching, 1963 Super 90 Coupe (S/N 210988). The mileage is actual. The car was originally Black exterior, red interior. It has been painted only once, the 

present yellow shown. At the time of painting, the only body work done/required was a small floor patch under the accelerator pedal and the replacement of the battery box floor, from the usual acid 
corrosion. The car is/was otherwise quite dent and rust free, and has been stored indoors for the last 35 years. The certificate of Authenticity lists the engine as # 805590 and the transmission as 
56744 (741/2A) which agree with the case castings. The transmission is listed as having a limited slip differential. To the best of our knowledge it has never been apart and the condition of it is thus 
unknown. The vehicle also has the camber compensator that was standard feature with S-90s. It is 98% complete parts-wise and basically needs reassembly. 

The engine was disassembled by the first owner due to a rod knock. While apart, his mechanic dropped one of the pistons, breaking its skirt (see photo). At that point, living in the "boonies", and not 
being able to procure the proper replacement piston, he gave up in frustration, never putting the engine back together and selling the vehicle instead.  A new proper sized piston was eventually obtained 
and the crankshaft was reworked and nitrided by Competition Engineering at first under on all journals. The alloy cylinders have almost no discernible wear. Bearings are included with the crank. New 
wrist pins bushings need to be fitted to the rods. Rings are available for the pistons, so with lots and lots of cleaning, the engine should go back together fairly readily, without great parts expense. 

The interior is done with correct square weave carpet and a new headliner. The seats were properly recovered. The vinyl is soft, but they feel rather firm when sat upon, so one may need/wish to 
re-do the under-padding. The chrome on the seat mechanisms is in excellent condition. The same cannot be said of the window frames, which will ultimately need to be re-chromed, but all the parts 
are there. The original radio and speakers with their grills are part of the package. The tinted windshield is new. The bumpers are straight and painted. It has its original muffler, all the exhaust and
sheet metal components. As per the photos, there are many new parts that come with the vehicle, such as bumper guards, headlight assemblies, lenses, a full kit of all the rubber parts, etc..

As indicated previously, the body is in great condition with none of the usual collision, rust and and panel replacement issues. There is one item to disclose and that is the painter/body-man chose to be
creative without asking and decided that even though it had never had any hood damage, the mounting points for it should be strengthened to keep that from happening. If one looks carefully, the 
gussets he added to the hood can be seen in the photos. It certainly is possible to remove them if one is striving for a concours car, but for the moment, out of practicality they have been left in place. 

Without a high lift and having a limited number of images available on this web-site, there are no photos of the underside, but rust and dents are definitely not an issue, only the annoyance of overspray.  :(
There are also more boxes of parts than the photo space for this listing will allow.

This is yet another stalled restoration, but at least most everything is there and mainly needs one with the time and dedication to bring it to completion. 

Vehicle is also listed locally and subject to prior sale.

Porsche completes production of 918 Spyder

Fri, Jun 19 2015

Porsche is closing another chapter in its history as production of the 918 Spyder has officially come to an end. The only remaining question is: what comes next? The 918 was the latest in a long line of flagship supercars from the German automaker, starting with the 904 Carrera GTS, continuing on through the 959, 911 GT1, and Carrera GT. Each was a technological game-changer for Porsche, just as the 918 Spyder will surely be remembered. With the hybrid roadster now zipping off into the annals of history, all eyes will be fixed on Zuffenhausen to see what it does next. And though it may not be much to go on, we've already begun seeing some hints at what that could be. Last week Porsche released a solitary teaser image showing its next-generation sports car, covered and parked alongside the Le Mans-winning 919 Hybrid LMP1. Just what's under the cover, Porsche isn't saying, and didn't respond to our repeated inquiries for comment. However the signs point towards a mid-engined supercar – not unlikely to pack a hybrid powertain once again – positioned closer to the likes of McLaren 650S and Ferrari 488 GTB than the outgoing 918 Spyder, which faced off against the McLaren P1 and LaFerrari. If that turns out to be the direction Porsche takes with its upcoming new supercar, as has long been anticipated, it would hardly be unprovoked. McLaren recently launched the 570S as part of its new Sport Series to take on the Porsche 911 Turbo, and Ferrari is once again rumored to be pursuing the same with a new Dino. While the specifics may remain cloudy for the time being, what is crystal clear is that things are about to get very interesting in the battle between Porsche and its rivals.

Today, the chequered flag marked the finish: after 21 months of production time, the final Porsche 918 Spyder came off the line in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen according to schedule. But the legacy of this technology pioneer will reach far beyond its production time. Future generations of sports cars will benefit directly from innovations of the 918 Spyder. The 918 Spyder was systematically developed to be a performance hybrid with plug-in technology. The hybrid super sports concept car made its debut at the 2010 Geneva International Motor Show where it met with overwhelming approval.

Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid gets $3,400 price cut in Canada

Tue, Nov 10 2015

It's about $2,560 to you and me, pilgrim. Porsche is cutting the price of its Panamera S E-Hybrid by $3,400 for our neighbors to the north. In US dollars, that's a haircut of about $2,560. Of course, the premium SUV plug-in hybrid is no bargain, even in Canadian dollars. The sticker price now comes in at C$106,000 for the parallel plug-in hybrid. Granted, the car is a beast, and represents one heck of an effort for the German luxury-vehicle maker to hop aboard the green-car train, however little sales they derive from it. The model delivers 416 horsepower from its V6 gas-powered engine and electric motor. So while that's good for a fuel-economy rating (here in the States, at least) of 50 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe), the car also has a top speed of 167 miles per hour. Think Montreal to Toronto in two hours and change, if the roads are empty. And not frozen. And have no speed limit. Stateside, the plug-in Panamera has been selling in pretty low volumes. The model, including the gas-powered version, moved about 4,200 units through the first 10 months of the year, or about 10 percent of Porsche's total. Through October, sales of the plug-in only were down 55 percent from a year earlier to just 358 units, so one shouldn't expect a flood of them to be sold because of the three-percent discount. Still, a price cut certainly beats a snowshoe to the head. Take a look at Porsche's press release below. Porsche Canada realigns pricing of its plug-in premium sports sedan 2016 Panamera S E-Hybrid now starts at $106,600 MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 9, 2015 /CNW/ - Porsche Canada announced today that it had lowered the starting price of the Panamera S E-Hybrid for 2016 model year, effective immediately. The first plug-in hybrid vehicle in the luxury segment will now be offered starting at $106,600 – a reduction of $3,400 compared to the 2015 model year. This adjustment effectively brings the price in alignment with that of the Panamera S. Now, the Panamera S E-Hybrid represents an even more compelling choice in the segment, offering such quintessential Porsche traits as style, performance, quality, and impressive efficiency of its advanced powertrain. The hybrid tradition at Porsche extends back to the year 1899 and to the Lohner Porsche – the world's first vehicle to have a battery-powered electric drive as well as a combustion engine, which was designed and built by Ferdinand Porsche.

Exotic cars caught on video racing on neighborhood streets in Beverly Hills

Thu, Sep 17 2015

A pair of supercars caught on camera racing around a quiet Beverly Hills neighborhood last week has residents fearing for their safety. The video shows a white Porsche 911 and a yellow Ferrari LaFerrari as they clipped parked cars and blew through stop signs while residents of the upscale community watched in horror. Freelance cameraman Jacob Rogers shot the video of the supercar shenanigans. He later confronted a man outside the house where the Ferrari eventually parked. He asked the man if he cared that he was endangering people's lives. The man became combative and claimed he had diplomatic immunity. "He told me verbatim, 'I could have you killed and get away with it,'" Rogers told NBC Los Angeles. "I told him, 'the press is allowed to be here on the sidewalk on a public street.' He said, '(Expletive) America' and threw a cigarette at me." The Ferrari's plates are from the oil-rich country of Qatar. The race ended with the Ferrari pulling into the driveway of a $45,000-per-month rental home, its engine compartment smoking. Police can be seen arriving in the neighborhood. Los Angeles police are currently investigating the incident. Even though the LaFerrari was still smoking when police arrived they haven't filed charges because no officer witnessed the illegal activities. When police approached the owner of the vehicle he denied doing anything illegal and again claimed diplomatic immunity. Police told NBC they are in contact with the State Department about the man's diplomatic status and the legality of the cars in the neighborhood. Beverly Hills isn't the only swanky zip code plague by hotshot supercar owners. Some of the most expensive homes in London can be found In the Knightsbridge neighborhood - and some of the most expensive cars as well. This summer, the local council of Knightsbridge and nearby Chelsea began exploring a Public Space Protection Order that would fine drivers who rev their engines, drag race on residential streets or blare music, according to Reuters UK.
