Porsche 356 B with matching numbers engine*. An original vehicle
in need of a complete restoration. This is my fourth such restoration 356 that I have
owned. I have restored some fully
and others partially, but all the others have now been sold (when the body is
painted, people will start enquiring – and the offers will flow until you receive
one that you just can’t refuse! – that’s been my experience). I no longer possess the time and
inclination to complete this last one, due to the birth of my twins. This
vehicle epitomizes the classic Porsche style and quality of yesteryear. The quintessential Porsche for every
collector, and a necessary addition to any real car collection. This particular vehicle will require rust restoration in the usual places for these vehicles, but there is a lot of life left in her, and the thick paint has protected a lot of the outside panels.
This is the iconic sports car that started the Porsche Company
and its racing legacy. If you would like to have a car that will continue
to appreciate in value and be useable as an every day dependable and fun
vehicle to drive, while only sipping gasoline, this may be the vehicle for you.
The continuous rise in the price of these iconic vehicles guarantees
that you will have made a sound automotive investment that will pay you
dividends for years to come. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche the 356 has always been popular with both the public
and the motoring press. In 2004, Sports Car International
ranked the 356 tenth on their list
of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. Today, the Porsche 356 is a highly regarded collector
car. Thousands of owners worldwide maintain the 356 traditions, preserving
their cars and driving them regularly. The US-based 356 Registry on its website
states that it is "...world's largest classic Porsche club."
Classic Porsches in general, and the 356 in particular were meant to be
driven by drivers who possessed real skill and ability. They sold to those who desired and coveted
the hand made quality of true craftsman, and they were built in limited numbers. Unlike today’s cookie cutter computer
controlled cars that are built to appeal to the largest segment of the
population possible, these appealed to drivers, real drivers and connoisseurs. They have never been cheap, and will
never be cheap to buy, but they are easy to own – German engineering and Bosch electrical
components. The new corporate approach
for Porsche vehicles is a response to market surveys. Whereas the original
Porsches were meant to be driven by real drivers and win races, new Porsches
are designed to be driven by everyone and anyone who can afford the price of
admission. With all their gadgetry and gimmicks, they make a bad driver look
good, and a good driver look great.
Personally, I would prefer to see this go to an individual who will
restore it themselves, as I planned, but considering the make, model and the current
market, I understand and accept that it likely will be snapped up by a
collector or professional restorer.
*The gentlemen I purchased the vehicle from represented that it is the original engine from the factory; I have not verified it with Porsche. Sold as is where is with no express or implied warranty of fitness for any particular purpose. |

Editors' Picks June 2024: Some German SUVs and an excellent sports car
Fri, Jul 5 2024This month sees some recently-refreshed luxury SUVs join the list of Editors' Picks. Both the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne are fresh for 2024, and both are extremely tempting luxury performance SUVs for the well-off buyer. The vast array of powertrains available for both of them ensure there's a version for all comers, and any enthusiast would adore the extra-high-performance versions of both. Of course, enthusiasts will enjoy the last car on this month's list the most with the Lotus Emira. It's simply spectacular to drive, and we can't recommend it enough to the hardcore driver. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. You'll find the entire list of Editors' Picks at this link here, which we keep updated as cars are either added or dropped from the list. The vehicles youÂ’ll find below consist of every car we rated in June that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 BMW X5 2024 BMW X5 M Competition View 41 Photos Quick take: The X5 is most desirable in its PHEV and M60i V8 trims, but the whole lineup is extremely competent and brings together excellent performance, excess luxury and cutting-edge tech for its segment. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Mercedes-Benz GLE, Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Sport, Maserati Levante, Genesis GV80, Audi Q8 Pros: Superb to drive with knockout powertrains; excellent utility and creative features; styling is sporty and attractive but not over the top Cons: Infotainment system can be a pain; M Competition model is a little over the top; gets pricey quick with options From the editors: Senior Editor, Electric John Beltz Snyder — "I really like the dual-opening liftgate/tailgate combo. The liftgate portion up top opens quickly, allowing you to throw something inside or grab something out of the back. Flipping down the lower tailgate part gives you a nice place to sit and change shoes. Another benefit is that you can open the liftgate without unsecured items immediately falling out. And with the way the X5 M Competition encourages you to drive it hard, you will end up shifting loose cargo around at some point." Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "I'd snag the X5 M60i out of all the various X5 variants.
2014 Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition is the ace of base
Tue, 14 Jan 2014If there's one automaker that certainly doesn't skimp on the special edition models, it's Porsche, and here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, we're getting our first look at yet another unique take on one of the company's most popular models. It's called the Cayenne Platinum Edition, and while many special models build off of higher-trim vehicles, this one adds a bit of flair to the most basic version of the luxury SUV.
The Platinum Edition is available on Cayennes with the base 3.6-liter V6 or the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. Platinum models are set apart from other models with the addition of silver exterior accents on the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler, as well as the two-tone, black-and-beige interior scheme. It also comes standard with the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, the Convenience Package and Bose audio.
The cost of entry? $63,000 for the naturally aspirated Cayenne or $66,900 for the diesel. That's a full $13,000 more than the base model, but Porsche says it's actually a bargain as opposed to selecting all of those options individually. Have a look below for Porsche's official release.
Daughter has great taste, gives stepdad Porsche 914 of his youth
Mon, 14 Jul 2014Children require a ton of sacrifices; even people without kids know that. Whether it's the time to watch a baseball game or the money just to get there, parents have to give up something for the betterment of their offspring. Of course, once a child grows up, it's finally possible to repay mom and dad for all of their hard work. In the case of Kristin Russell and her stepdad, Dave, that involves a surprise 1973 Porsche 914.
Before he got married, Dave had a sweet, white 914. He even had the money saved up to restore it, but spent the cash on the wedding instead. The Porsche languished in the garage until Dave eventually parted it out and sold it off. Years later, Russell wanted to do something to thank her stepdad for all of the things he had done for her and her mom. The only fitting thank you was an identical 914 to the one that he gave up. Scroll down to watch Dave's reaction of getting his dream car as a surprise Father's Day gift.
