You are bidding on a 1963 Porsche Type B Ruetter Cabriolet with a Super-90 Engine. This classic open-top Porsche has had an older restoration but it is in excellent condition. The exterior is white (factory color was grey) with a factory red interior and a new black top. Of 9208 total 356 cars built in 1963, only 933 were cabriolets and 25% of the cabs had the most powerful Super-90 engine. This car appears to have no rust. The paint is good with a few small chips. Chrome door handles have minor pitting. The hub cap crests are original and have minor wear. The minor cosmetic defects could be easily fixed but I left them to illustrate the genuine nature of the car as so many 356 cars are fakes. The interior shows look great with minimal wear and the red upholstery has no defects and includes both headrests. The rear floor mats and bonnet tray are new.  Original type radio. Original steering wheel. The car has an original 6V electric system, new bulbs in most sockets. Mechanically the car started easily but it has not been driven for two years and was only driven for short excursions in dry weather. The Solex PII-40 carburetors were rebuilt. Oil pressure lines, oil filter, spark plugs, ignition cables, coil, and engine rubber seal are new. The gas tank was acid washed and flush-the fuel cock has been removed. An extra fuel pump is available. I have a certificate of Authenticity from Porsche of North America which shows the factory original specifications and I have the original new car Porsche pamphlet. The chassis number is 158236. Engine number is P-8033592, case 616.07.85) which is the correct Porsche Type B period and type (1961), but not the original engine from the factory. The odometer shows  about 36,000 miles but the true mileage is unknown. This is an excellent opportunity to own and enjoy an appreciating, quality, collectable classic Porsche. I love the car and hope you will too.

Porsche recalling Macan S and Turbo for fuel leak

Sat, Oct 31 2015

Porsche is recalling 58,881 examples of the Macan S and Turbo worldwide because of a possible leak in the low-pressure fuel line in the engine compartment. Of these, there are 21,835 affected in the US and 3,490 in Canada. According to the German automaker, this campaign is "a purely precautionary measure" because there're no reports of any accidents or injuries from the flaw. As a fix, dealers will replace the fuel line, which will take around an hour. Porsche will contact owners directly to arrange for the service. The company discovered the issue "after a precise examination of complaints," according to its statement, and corrected the problem for units in production.

This is why we love the Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

In the world of restomods, Singer Vehicle Designs is inarguably one of our absolute favorites. The company, founded by rocker Rob Dickinson, has made its name as an obsessive constructor of vintage, built-to-order Porsche 911s with modern internals and beautiful accouterments.
Xcar has put together a lengthy interview with Dickinson, covering the source of his fascination with the 911 and his passion for automotive design, before falling into his rock-and-roll days with his band Catherine Wheel. He also covers how he got into the world of modifying Porsches, rather than just restoring them. There's much, much more in the video, though, and we promise, you won't want to miss it.
Take a look.

2015 Porsche Cayenne S Quick Spin

Mon, May 11 2015

There are sporty SUVs, but until the Macan came along, the Porsche Cayenne was arguably the only pure definition of a 'sports SUV, a la sports car. The second-generation Cayenne is now five years old, but still looks fresh. It's handsome without obvious effort, especially with the optional 21-inch 911 Turbo wheels. The Cayenne S replaces the old, 400-horsepower, 4.8-liter V8 with the brand-new, Porsche-developed 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6. This engine is quickly proliferating through the range – it powers the current Panamera S and the Macan Turbo. That former 4.8-liter started life as a 4.5-liter with 350 horsepower way back in 2002, specifically developed for the Cayenne, and to the end it remained a potent engine. We tried the new forced-induction V6 with 420 hp earlier this year in the Panamera S, and other than a soggy exhaust note it maintained the character of the former V8 sport sedan, with lusty power and hasty delivery. So, how's it do in the Cayenne? Driving Notes The Cayenne S version of the TT V6 gets 420 hp and 406 pound-feet of torque. That means there's 37 more lb-ft than the previous V8, and 22 more lb-ft than in the new Panamera S. Yet the 607-pound difference in curb weight between the Panamera and Cayenne means the V6 has a heavier load to lift here. And it shows – the instant response is dulled. Stomping the right foot gets the eight-speed transmission rappelling through gears to provide a little kick, but real gumption doesn't come until the turbos kick in. We're maybe talking about a second of pause compared to the Panamera, but a noticeable second. Perhaps a small price to pay for slightly better fuel economy, if you really care about such in your 420-hp SUV. Part of why we notice that second is that the Cayenne S is so right-now everywhere else that any perceived hesitation gets extra attention. It offers a specific adjustability that many sports cars don't have, with one button adjusting the three-mode air suspension and a separate Sport button tweaking the steering, throttle, gear changes, and traction control. With Sport keeping all the horses at the ready and the optional Porsche Torque Vectoring holding things steady, you don't need to step up to the GTS trim to get immediate acceleration, crisp steering, flat cornering at very un-SUV-like speeds, and tremendous stopping power from a total of 20 brake pistons. That said, the exhaust note here could also use a shot of Bruce Banner's gamma rays.
