Up for sale is my 1960 Porsche 356 B Super Coupe #113896, a great running car, solid throughout, well maintained over the years. The factory color on the driverside door hinge cover is 738 or "Elfenbein" (Ivory). The paint has great depth and reflection and is very sharp on the car for being an older restoration. The previous owner said that the car was painted in the early 1990s. There are a few minor knicks/scratches from over the years, but the the overall integrity of the paint is very fine reflecting how well it has been cared for during the years. This Porsche presents very well and is very attractive. It shows well and brings you over to look at the car. The front of the car has hard to find Marchal foglights as well as stone screens over the headlights. The chrome on these is perfect!. The lights are in working order. Again, all lights work, horn, tachometer, speedometer, gas tank gauge, temperature gauge, windshield wipers and radio are all working. The odometer is currently not working. Emergency brake holds well, engine compartment opens easily with a pull of the knob by the rear seat and the front bonnet opens easily with a pull on the knob under the dash. The chrome on the car is in excellent condition: bumper guards are excellent as are the mirrors and luggage rack on the engine lid. Hubcaps and wheels are striking, again the chrome is excellent. The chrome window frames for the front windows and quarter windows on both sides are very clean and their chrome is brilliant as well. The BF Goodrich tires are near new and the car "tracks" very well as it goes down the road at 55 miles per hour. It does not pull to one side or the other. The clutch is fine and all synchros are fine. The car shifts smoothly in all forward gears as well as reverse. There is no clutch chatter or anything of the sort. The car maintains its original 6 volt system and and carries a 6 volt Optima battery for ease of starting. Once the key is in the ignition and after pressing the accelerator once, the engine roars to life and runs without any hesitation. The carburetors were changed over to Webers and the car idles evenly at 750 rpm and will hold this idle indefinitely without touching the accelerator. I have taken pictures of the engine and it appears to have been rebuilt fairly recently. Pushrod tubes look shiny and the engine case is very clean all over. The engine has an unstamped third piece. The original heat control boxes were maintained on the car and all of the cables are hooked up for the heat on the car. The original drum brakes stop the car evenly and well with no pulsation or pulling to either side. Brake drums have been media blasted and are very clean. There is one bubble on the driver side door and some "waviness" on the bottom of the driver side door close to the front of the door. This isn't bubbles but waviness as you run your hand over it. The bottom of the doors are very solid and there is no scaly rust nor rust holes on the bottom of the doors. There is one small spot on the rear of the car about the size of a pencil eraser. I have shown pictures of this so that you can get an exact idea. Fitment of the door and hood and engine lid are excellent and all close well and maintain their gaps. The floors are excellent throughout as can be seen by the photos. Jackspurs look good. It appears that there was a minor repair on the passenger side longitudinal at some point but it is overall very solid. The interior is very nice, seats are in excellent condition, the chrome hinges/recliners on the seats are excellent, back seats show well, German weave carpets are clean and show well, headliner appears original and has faded slightly but is in very good condition. We have ordered the COA from Porsche and will forward this to the new owner. As we note, the car came to us with the "Super" emblem and we believe the car to be a Super.
I have posted over 150 photos on the link below:
Here are two videos of the car:

Porsche 911 Cabriolet refresh may hide new engine
Wed, 22 Jan 2014If we learned nothing else from our recent frolic through Porsche's secret museum, it's that the automaker goes to incredible lengths to disguise future products during initial testing. Just as a number of cars in that Stuttgart bunker hid the true identity of developmental mules (like the Audi-V8-powered 911), such could very well be the case with these spy shots showing what, on the surface, appears to be simply a facelifted 991 911 Cabriolet.
Similar to what we saw last month on a 911 coupe, this Cabriolet has obvious styling modifications made to the front and rear fascias suggesting that the 911's still-fresh appearance is already set to get a few tweaks. The big news here is at the rear of the car. The additional vents on the lower edge of the fascia and the mocked-up vent above the engine leads our spy photographer to believe that a new engine could be tucked under the body work - likely a smaller-displacement, turbocharged flat-six focusing more on improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions rather than performance.
We last heard rumblings of such a detuned 911 back in August, but could this be our first look at said new model? Have a look for yourself, and let us know what you think - either about this mule specifically or the idea of a "green" 911, in Comments below.
Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
