The chassis is serial number 85589 - the transaxle is s/n 12078. The body was restored in the early 1990s and returned to the original Zermat-silver color. The body restoration included new floor pans and door bottoms. The interior features authentic German square-weave carpet and quality convertible top and tonneau cover material. The clock was recently rebuilt with an electronic, rather than electro-mechanical, mechanism. The interior retains much of the flavor of the original but now features a modern audio system. The original 6-volt electrical system has been retained while the updated audio system is powered by voltage converters under the front lid. With power amplifiers hidden under the front floorboards, it sounds great! The heater system has been disabled and the control knob, cables and flapper boxes are not available. The body is solid and, as the photos attest, the car has NO rust.
The motor (case #P704814) is a 1963 1600-Super that has been upgraded with NPR big-bore pistons, a Ray Litz (Competition Engineering) camshaft and Weber 40IDF carburetors. Soon after it was rebuilt in the mid 1990s, Harry Pellow (The Maestro) installed a "C" fuel pump and an "050" distributor. The engine consistently catches on the first few turns of the starter and burns/leaks no oil. Only 1331 of these cars were ever manufactured. In addition to being a great investment, this car is a great driver. The car has won several best-of-show awards in small local competitions and, though it's not a concours car, always attracts a lot of attention. I've owned and babied this car for twenty-five years. Someone is going to get another twenty-five years of driving excitement from it. If you have other questions, please email me. I'd be happy to provide more details. |

2015 Porsche Cayenne GTS proves performance is relative
Thu, Nov 20 2014The Turbo may be the most powerful model in the Cayenne range, but the GTS is arguably the enthusiast's choice. (In so far as a 4,500-pound crossover can be considered an "enthusiast's choice," anyway.) And now, after refreshing the rest of the Cayenne lineup, Porsche has revealed the new Cayenne GTS, alongside its new 911 GTS stablemate, here at the LA Auto Show. Like the new Cayenne S, the new GTS drops the previous version's atmospheric V8 for a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6, but ups the output to 440 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque to propel Zuffenhausen's portliest to 62 in a scant 5.2 seconds. Alongside the power upgrade, the GTS gets a lowered air suspension and sportier exhaust, the beefier brakes from the Cayenne Turbo and an upgraded aero kit to help with the whole barn-door-profile thing. Just don't expect all that extra kit and the prestige of a Porsche badge on your crossover to come cheap, with prices starting at $95,500 (plus $995 destination).
