Up for sale is my 1965 Porsche SC Coupe, vin 219059. Very solid car, new floors, longitudinals, closing panels and jack spurs along with battery box repair. Floors and metal work are well done. New bumper guards and windshield and back glass rubber and headlight stone guards and deco molding for body and below doors were also added. The car is painted Dolphin grey which is an original Porsche color and has new Aztec red leather interior along with German squareweave charcoal carpets. The driver side hinge cover indicates that the car originally came painted color code #6405 which is Champagne Yellow. New door rubber seals and mats and door sill plates with clean headliner complete the interior. No evidence of prior accident damage or collision. The hood is not kinked and the hood pull and engine lid pull and the gas filler door pull all work smoothly. The paint is driver quality with some minor imperfections (please see link for over 150 photos), overall presentable. There are some slight bubbles on the bottom of the doors. Door bottoms are solid as can be seen by the pictures on the link. Doors and hood and engine lid all close well. The doors have a nice "thud" when they are closed. The car is titled as a 1965 but actual production year fell in 1964. It was produced toward the end of the 1964 production run and hence by the time it reached the U.S. it became titled as a 1965.
Engine is an "SC" with big bore kit and Dellorto carbs, sport exhaust and new gaskets and seals. A 12 volt conversion was done and the car now has a 12 volt generator. All lights and turn signals and brake lights work. Battery charges as is evident by amp gauge in car, starts every time. As soon as the key turns the ignition the engine roars to life with no delay. A 12 volt Optima battery provides dependable starting and power to the car. Engine holds an idle and will idle smoothly. Excellent oil pressure the whole time the engine is running holding 35-40 lbs at idle and 50-65 lbs running down the road. Four wheel disc brakes stop the car on a dime and pull "straight", stopping the car evenly and quickly, if necessary. At highway speeds the car tracks straight and does not pull to either side. Clutch is strong and synchros in all four forward gears shift smoothly as does reverse. The speedometer and odometer work as does the tachometer; the combination gauge is not hooked up since there is another gauge for oil pressure and the gas gauge is currently not working. Horn and windshield wipers work. Tires are near new and have plenty of tread. Sometime in the car's past the engine was changed. A complete engine rebuild was done in 2008 where the engine was removed and re-sealed and newly machined cylinder heads were installed. It was also converted to 12 volt at this time (receipt in hand). 15" Fuch alloy wheels and new Koni shocks upgrade the suspension.

Vintage-ish Porsche 911 buying guide
Tue, Jul 21 2015Harry Metcalfe is always great at showing viewers the intricate details of the vehicles in his collection as part of the Harry's Garage series. This time he's helping out future buyers by explaining what to look for when purchasing a classic and slightly more modern Porsche 911. His examples for this lesson are two absolute beauties that are about to cross the block from Silverstone Auctions in the UK: a 1972 2.4 S and a 1991 964-chassis RS Clubsport. The '72 in creamy white here epitomizes the look of early 911s. The coupe is handsome, purposeful, and fairly compact by modern standards. According to Metcalfe, when looking at one, don't worry about a wobbly gearshift. Apparently, they're all like that, even ones as well cared for as this example. As with any used car purchase, he recommends trying to get as many service records as you can. It's just good to know as much about the vehicle's life as possible before throwing down any cash. Where the '72 911 shows the more gentlemanly side of the brand, the '91 RS Clubsport is Porsche proving the company's performance credentials. Metcalfe slightly dings the switch to an aftermarket air filter here, but overall it's hard to find a major fault. These cars were essentially road-going racers in this trim. The engineers in Zuffenhausen chopped out as much weight as possible and then fitted Recaro racing buckets and a roll cage. This thing was meant clock as many laps around the 'Ring as the driver could stand.
2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid
Tue, 09 Jul 2013Porsche's Performance Plug-in Preamble
By the end of this year, Porsche will be producing as many plug-in vehicles (two) as mainstream automakers such as Toyota, Chevrolet and Honda. Before the 2015 918 Spyder hybrid supercar goes on sale in the US, though, it will be warming its customers up to the idea of a plug-in model with the 2014 Panamera S E-Hybrid. A step up from the previous Panamera S Hybrid, the new plug-in Panamera adds a more powerful and advanced electric drive system that pledges to deliver the performance expected of a Porsche with the added benefit of improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.
Going on sale in November, the Panamera S E-Hybrid is aimed at customers also considering the upcoming plug-in version Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but the car's dimensions and performance could make it a competitor for Tesla Model S customers. We headed to Germany at Porsche's invitation to see how well it performs, as well as check out the full range of newly refreshed Panamera models, which now numbers nine offerings - although we're still waiting for a production version of the gorgeous Sport Turismo wagon concept.
Son of Porsche 911 designer recalls 1963 Frankfurt debut
Wed, 16 Oct 2013
The Goodwood Revival is described by its presenters as the greatest motorsport racing party of the year. We often focus heavily on the motorsports, but you can't forget about the party. For the first preview of the new 911 Turbo in the UK, Porsche recreated its booth from the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963 - the time and place of the original 911's public debut.
Porsche's cameras also caught up with Mark Porsche, the great grandson of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and son of the late Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi" Porsche, who oversaw the design of the 911. Mark Porsche admires the 911's friendly design, which is set off by the round headlights, and says his mother, who was at the original Frankfurt booth in 1963, was milling around the booth at Goodwood - no doubt taking a trip down memory lane.
