Up for auction is a rare 1957 Porsche 356A Sunroof Coupe. I purchased the car in the 1990's and was restoring the car. I'm relocating overseas with my job and have decided to part with the car. It really was a barn find and a time capsule! It had been in Florida, and had been up in Connecticut after that where it sat until I found her. I got the Car home, changed oil, and what was in the tank, put in new points and gas and a new battery and remarkably got the car running again. As you can see from the interior pics the color was originally red with beige interior.
Work Done: Engine was rebuilt, Transmission overhauled, brakes rebuilt, new wheel cylinders, master cylinder etc. brake lines, silicone fluid, drums skimmed and polished, all new ball joints, transmission mounts etc., steering overhauled but rubber puck not yet replaced. New floor with all panels longitudinals, etc. it was replaced nose to tail using Stoddard parts, door pillars in front and behind doors replaced see pics ( surface rust) doors re skinned. Tank removed, cleaned, resealed and refitted, new fuel lines etc. door shims are missing, restorer who was working on the car got very sick towards the end of the work he did - I had to get the car back after he passed away. The work he did on the floors was beautiful, he had restored 20 plus 356's, so he knew what he was doing. The car needs body, paint interior and TLC - I got to drive the car before restoration, I was amazed how well it handled and drove for a 1957 vintage vehicle. Any questions contact me, serious bidders only - I am an honest ebayer, I expect you to be also. payment by wire xfer or certified check with 24 hours of auction closing. I reserve the right to finish the auction early as the vehicle is being advertised locally also. Don't let this one get away - it will make a stunning car! I don't have a title, transaction will be a bill of sale, I can register the car and get a title at buyers expense if necessary.
good luck bidding!

The 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S brings 50 extra ponies to Detroit
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Porsche has announced a new version of its popular SUV today at the Detroit Auto Show: the 550-horsepower 2014 Cayenne Turbo S.
This newly minted "flagship" of the Cayenne lineup is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 engine, and offers 50 hp more than the Cayenne Turbo. Performance figures are impressive for the sleek utility vehicle: 0-60 miles per hour can be dashed off in 4.3 seconds, while maximum speed is rated at 175 mph. The Turbo S also gets dynamic chassis control, torque vectoring and Porsche's Sport Chrono package - all standard equipment.
Visually the Cayenne Turbo S differentiates itself from the lesser models in pretty subtle ways. Gloss black trim decorates the gawping front air intakes, as well as rear-view mirror trim panel. The SUV also wears 21-inch Turbo II wheels, a la the 911 Turbo.
2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S is a 911 Turbo for the family man
Thu, 21 Nov 2013In the event that the Porsche Panamera Turbo's 520 horsepower and 189-mile-per-hour top speed aren't enough to sate the appetite of the speed freak, Porsche has just given the auto show debut to the faster, more powerful Panamera Turbo S.
With 570 horsepower being pumped from a 4.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, the Panamera Turbo S promises even faster acceleration, hitting 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, a 0.3-second improvement over the standard Turbo. The top speed, meanwhile, climbs to 192 mph, which is kind of ridiculous for a car with four doors and a trunk.
Other enhancements that come with this Panamera's extra syllable include carbon-ceramic brakes and the entirety of Porsche's active chassis systems, including Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and Porsche Active Suspension Management. The performance goodies come standard, but that doesn't mean the Panamera Turbo S is cheap.
Porsche picks Maria Sharapova as brand ambassador
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Russian-born tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has just inked a three-year deal with Porsche to be its brand ambassador, a position that will put her on a global campaign for the German automaker. The 26-year-old athlete isn't new to the role - she previously signed a similar three-year deal with Land Rover in 2006.
"Maria Sharapova is an exceptional athlete. She combines top performance in her sports with elegance and power. These are precisely the qualities that are embroiled in our sports cars," explained Matthias Mueller, CEO of Porsche AG, during the announcement. "Her profile and charisma are an ideal fit for Porsche. She is also highly respected around the world and enjoys an outstanding reputation," he added.
Some consider Porsche's choice of a female tennis player as its ambassador interesting, if not surprising. The automaker has traditionally marketed its vehicles with a masculine edge - Sharapova and the sport of tennis position the brand in a different light - likely an intentional decision. Do you think Porsche's choice was a good one? If not, who would you choose as its global ambassador?
