Up for sale is my 1959 Porsche 356A coupe, owned for a long period by a doctor who maintained the car meticulously with a receipt in hand showing the following was done at 80344 miles (80685 miles are on the car now): Remove and Replace Engine Replace pressure plate, clutch disc and throw-out bearing; Set end play and install Viton flywheel seal; Adjust valves Clean valve covers and install new gaskets; Change Oil and filter; Remove and replace sump plate and repair leak at rivet; Perform leak down test: 1: 98 2: 98 3: 94 4: 97 Perform compression test: 1: 150lb 2: 180lbs 3. 150lbs 4: 165lbs Check Oil pressure: Cold idle: 40 psi Check Oil pressure: Hot idle: 35psi Check Oil pressure: 2500 rpm: Cold: 45-50 psi; Hot: 55+ psi Replace steering coupler; Remove and replace front pulley, new Viton oil seal; Remove generator stand, replace gasket; Remove oil filler, replace seal; Remove distributor, replace seal; Remove and replace carburetors: clean, set floats and injection ratio; Clean oil air filters; Replace spark plugs and air seals; Remove and replace intake manifolds, replace with proper engine tin; Remove exhaust and replace all gaskets; Remove heater control unit and replace; Adjust shift linkage; Replace coil; Fabricate correct fuel lines; Change fuel filter; Check Distributor dwell and set the timing; Balance carburetors and adjust linkage; Replace carb pre-heat operating shaft and adjust; Install throttle stop and adjust; Install clutch cable and adjust; Replace fan belt; Clean engine; Remove fuel from gas tank, flush fuel lines, clean fuel pump; 25 hours at $90 per hour: $2250; Parts: $1850 (I have the itemized receipt with the list of parts). Additionally the brakes were rebuilt with new wheel cylinders all the way around for a total cost of $1465 on 5/24/14 (receipt in hand). As you can see the previous owner has done a lot to keep the car in top mechanical condition and very drivable. The engine is a 912 (616/40 is stamped on the bolt boss under the generator) and it starts and runs just beautifully. I have driven this car and it is just a pleasure to jump in, turn the key and it starts right up and off you go! Tires are excellent, chrome wheels present well, and brakes stop the car well. The paint is older with much patina, that is to say, there is some crazing in the paint. Previous owner said that paint was done many years ago. It is maroon/purple, a color that was used on Porsche 911s in the 1970s. The previous owner also said to me that he believed the interior to be original and that the car was actual mileage of 80, 685 although he said he didn't get the documentation to support this. I have taken over 180 photos and posted them to this link: We also have 2 videos: Test drive: http://youtu.be/lK1cGft5RLo Engine at idle: http://youtu.be/_MvNUUgOd8k All gauges work, speedometer, odometer, windshield wipers, headlights, turn signals, gas gauge and engine temperature gauge; horn is not working; hand brake works, windows go up and down easily and smoothly; doors closely well and have that characteristic Porsche "thunk" when they close. Door lock works with key. Front and rear closing panels are excellent as are the floors and battery box with no rust evident. Door bottoms are very nice and show no rust as well. All gaps are even on the doors and hood and engine lid. It appears that the car has never been in an accident. There is a small dent on the passenger side top of the fender where something (like a ladder) fell on it and put a slight crease on the fender. Please see the picture. You can buy with confidence. This is a really nice well maintained car over the years, one that is increasingly hard to find as a very nice dependable driver. It has classic lines and draws a crowd wherever it is parked. We are a licensed and bonded and insured auto dealer in North Carolina and we have an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau. Our dealership is: T.J. Auto, Inc., 1312 Capital Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27603. The title to the vehicle is in hand and everything is in order on our end.

Porsche's latest Driver's Selection keeps enthusiasts happy at home
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Porsche fans - and there are certainly plenty of them out there, even in here on the Autoblog editorial staff - can be pretty emphatic about their enthusiasm, insisting that the 911 is the very definition of the sportscar. And for some, merely admiring one from afar or even leaving theirs parked outside isn't enough. For just such enthusiats, Porsche Design has expanded its Driver's Selection with some tantalizing additions for the home and office.
First up is a desk chair made from the bucket seat in a 911 Carrera, which we have to admit we'd rather be sitting in right now over this blasted, rather unexciting ergonomic office chair. It's covered in black leather (the same you'd find inside an actual 911) embossed with the Porsche emblem and features electronic backrest adjustment.
There's also a wall shelf made from the carbon-fiber rear spoiler a 911 GT3 Cup racecar that can support up to 264 pounds of downforce in the form of books, trinkets and whathaveyou. And there's a limited-edition resin model of the 918 Spyder in 1:8 scale. The items haven't hit the Porsche shop just yet, so we don't have pricing information, but if they tickle your fancy, the online store has plenty more to offer.
Supercar 'Holy Trinity' raced at the track, drag strip, and to 186 mph
Thu, Dec 3 2015There was a time when we weren't sure if we'd ever get the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918 Spyder on the track together. Now, we've have a multi-part series dissecting how each supercar approaches all kinds of go-fast tasks. Supercar Driver (SCD) looks at their performances around the track, on the drag strip, and on a runway. SCD didn't get any help from the automakers, it used three cars all owned by one British gentleman, Paul Bailey. The first video has British Touring Car Championship driver Mat Jackson running all three around Silverstone. The second video takes the coupes to Santa Pod Raceway to run the quarter-mile. The third video runs them out to Bruntingthorpe Airfield for a drag race to 300 kilometers per hour (186 mph). We found that latter video especially interesting because SCD shows a graph of how fast each car hit speed marks, and it's interesting to see where the winner made up all of its time and the where the third-place getter lost its time. Nota bene, the McLaren is using its fly-paper sticky Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires. You'll find the first video in the series above, the second two videos below. If you still haven't had enough, then check out the Hyper 5 three-part series by Alejandro Solomon filmed at California's Thermal Raceway, starting with the Holy Trinity and adding the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and Pagani Huayra. Chris Harris also did fantastic work around Portimao with the help of Marino Franchitti and Tiff Needell, with assistance from the factories. This content is hosted by a third party.

VW, Mobileye to bring new automated tech to series production
Wed, Mar 20 2024Volkswagen will bring new automated driving technologies to series production as it deepens its partnership with Mobileye in automotive driving technologies, Europe's biggest carmaker said on Wednesday. Israeli automotive tech company Mobileye will provide driving assistance software based on its SuperVision and Chauffeur platforms to VW's luxury brands such as Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini and Porsche. The technologies, which later will be integrated by VW's software unit Cariad, include assistance systems for highway and urban driving, such as automated overtaking on multilane highways, automatic stopping at red lights and stop signs, and support in intersections and roundabouts. "New automated driving functions will significantly boost convenience and safety," VW Chief Executive Oliver Blume said. Mobileye is also set to supply further automated driving software to Volkswagen's commercial vehicles unit. In future, the German carmaker aims to rely on its own complete in-house software system.
