This incredibly dry 1958 A Coupe languished in a body shop for over 17 years. I bought the car with the hopes of restoring her but some major life changes have me questioning my ability to tackle the restoration in the near future. Original color is Meissen Blue over dark red. The original seats and door panels are complete and in decent condition. The floor pans are original and incredibly dry. The previous owner start the restoration which started with the nose and passenger-side rocker panel. The car was club raced in the '60's as is evidenced by the cool decals on the quarter widows, dash, gas tank and the brass SCCA plaques on each door panel. The original owner installed a Bendix electric fuel pump in the tunnel and a Maserati auxiliary fuel pump in the battery box. Oddly enough however I see no signs of a roll bar? I was thinking he may have competed in "Solo" events but as is evidenced by the nose and tail, when they say "hit" the apex, he really meant it. The nose and rear clip would probably need to be re-done to bring her back 100%. I was told by the gentleman that I bought it from said that the 1600 "SC" race engine # 820492 had been rebuilt just prior to him buying the car 23 years ago and that it was never installed nor started. The gentleman I bought the car from had the engine mothballed in his climate-controlled garage for over 20 years. In that time, the Solex carburetors were bagged and boxed and duct tape covered the manifolds. I removed one of the valve covers to inspect the rocker-arm assembly and it looked clean and fresh. The oil on the dipstick looks new. There's just something special about this car and I wish I could see the restoration though. I called the SCCA but their records going that far back only exist in analogue and there is no one available to sift through the records to see what events this car may have competed in. I'm struck with how rust free the car is and that it could still have the original pans. The tar-based sound deadening material on the driver and passenger sides is original and unmolested. The wheels are all dated 6/57 and 7/57 with an August production date. The Abarth exhaust is original and restorable with no pinholes or rust. The front and rear window seals are new and not fully installed. The car does not have a steering wheel. The last pictures on my Shutterfly account are of the car at the body shop about 10 years ago. I do reserve the right stop the auction as the car is available locally. Thanks for looking.

Are you the Porsche Pajun?

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

The prospect of Porsche building a smaller version of the Panamera has been an on-again, off-again proposition as the German automaker seems to go back and forth on the project. Last we heard, Porsche had pushed back the so-called Pajun (shorthand for Panamera Junior) until 2019 at the earliest, but we could be looking at it right here.
The automaker's everything-but-automotive division Porsche Design is working on a luxury condo complex called (simply enough) Porsche Design Tower. It's been three years in the making and will take at least another year or two to complete, but the gist of it is that the 57-floor building will include 132 apartments, each with its own en-suite garage in which the residents' cars will be parked thanks to giant elevators.
Porsche Design released a series of renderings showing what the property will look like once complete. Most of the renderings feature Porsches, of course - production models you can find in any of the brand's showrooms, like the one just 23 miles away in Coral Gables. But one of the renderings of the giant glass elevators shows something rather unusual.

Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024

Thu, Oct 20 2022

Compact SUVs are now the go-to choice for family transportation. Actually, considering how popular they are, they have clearly moved beyond only family duty. With such popularity, though, comes an awful lot of competitors, and it can be difficult to figure out which one might be the best compact SUV for you.Â It's important to note that by "compact SUV" we're talking about a specific segment. As we describe in our more comprehensive "Best small SUVs" list, there are also subcompact SUVs that vary widely in size amongst themselves, but are clearly smaller than the SUVs below. Frankly, today's segment of compact SUVs isn't exactly compact — some have more cargo space than vehicles that are considered midsize based on their exterior dimensions. They've all grown considerably over the years. While many lists out there just rattle off every vehicle available in a segment, we thought we'd be a bit more helpful and curate your shopping a bit with the top-recommended choices reviewed by Autoblog. We've included both mainstream and compact luxury SUV choices. Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024 2024 Honda CR-V Why it stands out: Best-in-class space; excellent hybrid powertrain; sharp interior style; Honda dependabilityCould be better: No lower-price base trim levels; no sporty or off-road niche models; no plug-in hybrid Read our full 2024 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search, and look extra closely at the superb CR-V Hybrid option. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, strong-yet-efficient engines, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features,Â and well-regarded reliability. It's easy to see why it continues to be such a best-seller: for the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, it checks every box. That's been the case for many years now, however. The all-new 2023 Honda CR-V changes things up by adding a bit more style and character, particularly in terms of its interior design and how surprisingly enjoyable the Sport and Sport Touring hybrid trim levels are to drive.

2019 Tokyo Auto Salon features one of the coolest auctions we've seen

Thu, Jan 3 2019

In just over a week, the Tokyo Auto Salon will host one of the coolest auctions we've seen in years. Jalopnik spotted BH Auction's listings, and it's a cornucopia of hot machinery you won't typically find at American auctions like Gooding & Company or Barrett Jackson. While Japanese cars make up most of the listings, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and even Dodge all have at least one car going up for auction. We won't include everything here, but you can check out the full list on BH Auction's website. There are 50 lots at the auction, including nine Nissan Skylines, nine Ferraris and two Porsche Carrera GTs. Some of our other favorites include a Honda S800 coupe, a Toyota Miniace truck, a Mitsubishi Willys Jeep and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL gullwing with the V8 from a W124 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG that's estimated to sell for between $1.25 million and $1.5 million.
